Acrylic Nails FAQs
Your natural nails will continue to grow beneath your acrylics. This means you will see an area of regrowth within 2-3 weeks that you’ll probably want filled.
A full set of acrylic nails can be worn for 6-8, and should then be removed.
You’ll start to see an area of regrowth within 2-3 weeks. That’s when you will probably want to get them filled.
Acrylic nails, like gels, are artificial - which ones you consider better is 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.
No, leave it to the nail technician - they will trim your nails to the optimum length and shape for you.
You can still go about your daily life as normal when you’re wearing acrylic nails - just be sure to wear gloves when you do the housework. You should also avoid biting your nails (which may cause them to crack and break) and steer clear of high heat and harsh chemicals (like turpentine), which will damage 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.
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.
