Are ACRYLICS and GEL NAILS safe ?

Acrylic and gel nails are the flawless solution to chip-free, freshly polished nails that last for several weeks. In today’s blog, we will be explaining the advantages and disadvantages of these nails.

ACRYLIC NAILS

The application of acrylic nails involves filing down your natural nail to create a rough surface to place the glue on. When this step is completed, the acrylic powder and liquid are combined to create a mixture and a mould to glue onto your nails.The artificial nail mould is then shaped and buffed to make your nails appear longer to the custom length and shape you desire.

GEL NAILS

When gel nails appeared for the first time, the industry changed completely. Gel on nails became one of the best inventions that appeared in the field of manicure.Gel nails are basically extensions made using a hard gel product that is even more hardened under an ultraviolet or L.E.D. (light emitting diode) light. The gel is designed to imitate how natural nails look.

9 Tips To Keep Your Fingernails Looking Their Best

Tip 2 - Practice good nail hygiene. Use a sharp manicure scissors or clippers.

Tip 3 - Trim your nails straight across, then round the tips in a gentle curve.

Tip 4 - Use moisturiser. When you use hand lotion, rub the lotion into your fingernails and cuticles, too.

Tip 5 - Apply a protective layer. Applying a nail hardener might help strengthen nails.

Tip 6 - Ask your doctor about biotin. Some research suggests that the nutritional supplement biotin might help strengthen weak or brittle fingernails.
