Best Nail Extensions near me in Dungannon

Gel extensions are nail extensions created when the hard or semi-hard gel is sculpted, cured, and then shaped to lengthen the appearance of your nail.

Gel nail extensions last for 2-3 weeks and should then be removed. Acrylic nail extensions can last for 6-8 weeks, but will need fills after 2-3 weeks to hide regrowth.

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 cost between £30 and £45. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.

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.

Acrylic extensions are the most durable and widely available nail extension type. Browse and book the best acrylic nail technicians near you on Fresha.
