Nail extensions are thought to weaken your natural nails over time, although more research is needed to evidence the true effects.

Acrylic extensions use a liquid and powder mixture that air-dries to a hard finish, very durable and widely available. Gel extensions use UV/LED-cured gel for a more natural, flexible feel and clearer finish. Both can be shaped and polished to achieve the same looks.

Nail extensions typically cost between $10 and $65. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.

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.

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.
