Q: What to know before getting acrylics?

Quite a lot - we’ve listed the main points below: **Nail strength** - if you’ve got weak or brittle nails, wait to get them in optimal health before you get acrylics. You can boost your nail health by moisturising them daily with a natural nail strengthening oil, like jojoba. **Shape** - decide on your shape and length pre-application. If it’s your first time, don’t plump for super-long nails; begin short so you can get used to the weight and feel. **Prep** - perfect nail prep helps prevent discomfort, lifting, and breakage. Your nails must be filed (but not overly) and sanitised before application. **Infections** - prevent infections by ensuring that the acrylic manicure instruments used are properly sterilised first and that your nails are applied and removed by an experienced acrylic nail technician. **Fills** - you’ll need fills to touch-up regrowth every 2-3 weeks. It’s advisable to only have one set of fills before removing the whole set of acrylic nails. **Popping-off** - acrylic nails can pop off if they hit hard surfaces and if you tap your hands repeatedly (e.g. if you do a lot of typing). They can also pop off if your nail wasn’t properly prepped. **Time** - application and removal of acrylics take around an hour each. Make sure you book a professional to minimise damage. **Costs** - prices vary, but as a rule of thumb, the more colours and greater intricacy of design you go for, the higher the cost.

Acrylic Nails FAQs

What to know before getting acrylics?

Quite a lot - we’ve listed the main points below:

Nail strength - if you’ve got weak or brittle nails, wait to get them in optimal health before you get acrylics. You can boost your nail health by moisturising them daily with a natural nail strengthening oil, like jojoba.

Shape - decide on your shape and length pre-application. If it’s your first time, don’t plump for super-long nails; begin short so you can get used to the weight and feel.

Prep - perfect nail prep helps prevent discomfort, lifting, and breakage. Your nails must be filed (but not overly) and sanitised before application.

Infections - prevent infections by ensuring that the acrylic manicure instruments used are properly sterilised first and that your nails are applied and removed by an experienced acrylic nail technician.

Fills - you’ll need fills to touch-up regrowth every 2-3 weeks. It’s advisable to only have one set of fills before removing the whole set of acrylic nails.

Popping-off - acrylic nails can pop off if they hit hard surfaces and if you tap your hands repeatedly (e.g. if you do a lot of typing). They can also pop off if your nail wasn’t properly prepped.

Time - application and removal of acrylics take around an hour each. Make sure you book a professional to minimise damage.

Costs - prices vary, but as a rule of thumb, the more colours and greater intricacy of design you go for, the higher the cost.

Where can I get acrylic nails with nail art near me?

Lots of nail salons combine acrylic sets with intricate nail art designs. Browse and book the best nail art and acrylic specialists near you on Fresha.

How much do acrylic nails cost?

A full set of acrylic nails typically costs between €10 and €80, while fills start from around €10. Prices vary based on length, shape and nail art added. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.

Do acrylics ruin your nails?

Acrylic nails can damage your natural nails, so it’s always best to minimise any damage by seeking out an experienced nail technician to apply, fill, and remove them for you.

Where can I get long acrylic nails near me?

Many nail technicians specialise in long acrylic extensions, from ballerina to stiletto shapes. Browse and book the best long acrylic nail specialists near you on Fresha.

Which is better, acrylic or gel nails?

It’s really down to personal preference. Gels give a more natural, glossier finish than acrylics, but acrylics tend to be stronger. Gel nails cure under a UV lamp; acrylics start curing as soon as they’re exposed to air. They can both be used to lengthen nails. Gels last for 2 weeks and should then be removed; Acrylic nails last 6-8 weeks, but will need fills after 2-3 weeks to hide regrowth. Both can damage your natural nails, so it’s always best to seek out an experienced nail technician who can do the application, filling and removal for you.

Are there acrylic nail salons open right now near me?

If your own nails are falling short, try acrylic nails. Acrylics can be placed over your natural nails to create whatever length or shape you like. They make a great base for edgy nail art or just a simple slick of glossy polish. Tantalising talons can be yours in less than 20 minutes, and a full set typically costs around €15. Acrylic nails are pretty tough and can last for up to a month with occasional maintenance. Browse Fresha for highly-rated nail technicians in Chatou and book using our mobile app.
