Gel nails are considered to be healthier than acrylic extensions, but acrylics are better if you want super-long nails. Gel polish comes in a pot and looks like honey; acrylic comes as a powder. Gel nail extensions cure under a UV lamp and give a more natural, glossier finish than acrylics. Acrylics start to cure as soon as they’re exposed to air. Some technicians ‘build’ up gel nail extensions by applying extension forms (stickers) and gel to your natural nails; others secure a pre-shaped nail tip to your existing nail using gel. Acrylic extensions can also be built up on top of forms, or on a pre-shaped plastic nail tip that’s then fixed to your nail.

Nail extensions typically last 2-4 weeks before requiring a fill as the natural nail grows. Full sets may need replacing every 6-8 weeks. Proper aftercare, avoiding harsh chemicals and keeping nails moisturised, extends longevity.

Nail extensions add length and structure to natural nails using acrylic, hard gel, or builder gel. They can be applied over tips or sculpted directly onto the nail using forms. Extensions are then shaped, buffed, and finished with gel polish or nail art.
