Acrylic Nails FAQs
Acrylic overlays. They’re applied to the top of your nails and tend to look more natural. They can be thinner than a full set of acrylic nails and don’t extend beyond the length of your natural nails.
No, leave it to the nail technician - they will trim your nails to the optimum length and shape for you.
Acrylic nails generally cost less than than gels.
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.
Acrylic nails may contract and tighten after application and this can cause discomfort; however it shouldn’t last longer than 24hrs. If you’re experiencing pain after that, it could be a sign of damage or infection, particularly if your nails were filed down too low or your cuticles were pushed back too far pre-application. To avoid infection, damage and discomfort, we always recommend having your acrylic nails applied, filled, and removed by an experienced nail technician.
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.
Yes, and you can use acrylic nails to add extra length, too!
Book your next acrylic nails appointment in Edinburgh with Fresha
At Fresha, we think we deserve a medal for me-time. Our cutting edge technology is the gold standard of booking systems. So you can book your next nails appointment in Edinburgh in a matter of seconds. Pick a nail salon, choose a treatment and select a time. Our secure payment system is on the podium too. Pay in advance, so you don't even need to remember your bank card. Just bring yourself. We'll do everything else.
We'll show you what's available at the 20 nails businesses near you. From Davidson's Mains to Midlothian South, we're helping to keep the people of Edinburgh feeling good. When you need your next appointment, rely on Fresha for the absolute best. There are also 20 local five-star rated places around you to consider if you're in the market for VIP treatment. See what people around you are recommending, and book the best business for you.
If you need to call security for your nails, Fresha can connect you with acrylic extensions nearby in seconds. Acrylic nails are the guardians of gorgeous, sturdy length that stand the test of time.
Try short, medium or long acrylic nail overlays, which should stay in place for up to 3 weeks. Acrylic nails are a great deterrent if you tend to bite, and want to let your nails grow. Go for a full set of acrylic for hands and toes — though we don't suppose you're nibbling those. If you're prone to brittle or broken nails, you can transform your tips into pretty pink and white fill. Browse top-rated nail salons in Edinburgh, and book acrylic nails with the professionals on Fresha from £10.
And we're not only operating in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. We've expanded across 120 different countries. So when you go abroad, you can delete the guidebook app and download the Fresha app instead. Just call us your self-care city guide. And if you stumble across any great wellness businesses on your travels who could use Fresha's free scheduling app, make sure you let us know, by emailing hello@fresha.com. We have talented professionals aplenty. 450,000 globally to be precise. And it only takes one professional, and one treatment, and suddenly you’ll be having a very good week.
