Acrylics are formed using a liquid-and-powder system and are known for strength and durability. Gel nails are applied as a pre-mixed gel and cured under UV light, they tend to be more flexible and have a more natural finish, but may not be as durable as acrylics for longer lengths.

We always recommend asking a professional nail technician to remove your acrylic nails for you, but if you are planning on removing them yourself, follow these steps to minimise damage to your natural nails

1. File off as much of the acrylic nail as you can using a coarse 100-grit nail file. Take care not to go down to your natural nail, though.

2. Soak 10 cotton wool balls in 100% acetone, then apply 5 of them to your nails, securing them in position by wrapping a strip of foil around each fingertip. Leave them on for 20 minutes, then remove, and repeat on your other hand.

TIP: Avoid soaking your fingertips in a bowl of acetone - it’s a strong chemical and will dry your skin.

3. Take a wooden cuticle stick and gently push the acrylic and glue off your nail. Buff any remnants away with a soft foam nail buffer and moisturise your nails with a natural oil, like jojoba.

A full set of acrylic nails typically costs between $10 and $95, while fills start from around $10. Prices vary based on length, shape and nail art added. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.
