Acrylic nails are are a mix of powder and liquid monomer that’s combined into a blob of dough, shaped onto your nails with a brush, and then air-dried. It can be applied on natural nails or tips (extensions). A full set of acrylics is usually applied by an experienced nail technician by putting on tips, or use nail forms to achieve a more natural look. However some time acrylic nail can be applied on natural nails if they are strong & sound enough and nail lengths are right. General speaking, acrylic nails last around 3 weeks and you need to come back to get them filled.

Acrylic nails are a combination of a liquid monomer and a powder polymer. They create a hard protective layer over your natural nails. The product hardens as it is exposed to the air. Acrylic nail is transparent. A nail polish or shellac gel is added after.
