Gel Nail Extensions are taking the beauty world by storm, with trends ranging from chrome and holographic designs to intricate floral patterns and pastel ombre effects. Nude and healthy nails with subtle embellishments are also making waves this
Basics of Gel Nail Extensions
Dermatologists often advise against gel nail extensions due to potential harm to nails. The damage occurs when the natural shine is removed, creating a rough surface necessary for the gel polish to adhere. Proper preparation, including applying a primer to protect against UV rays and a double coating of gel polish, is crucial.
Why Gel Nail Extensions?
Gel extensions are ideal for those with short or damaged nails who desire long nails. They also help nail biters break their habit. Gel extensions offer a natural-looking, durable alternative.
Acrylic Nail Extensions
Acrylic extensions use a mix of powder and monomer liquid to create a gel-like substance applied to nail tips. The nail tips are chosen according to nail size, but if the nail bed is damaged, they go slightly inside, not on the tip. For healthier nails, the extensions are fixed less than halfway down the nail.
