ACRYLIC NAILS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Acrylic nails are a popular choice for those looking for a durable and long-lasting nail enhancement. This nail enhancement involves the use of a liquid (monomer) and a powder (polymer) which, when combined, undergo a polymerization process to create a strong, hard material that adheres to the natural nail and creates a long-lasting nail extension. The acrylic is typically sculpted onto the natural nail, using an acrylic nail brush, and then shaped and filed to the desired length and shape.
