5. The new nail is measured according to the size of the natural nail and cut on the sides;
6. With a brush, glue is applied and the nail is glued on top, then cut and sanded to the desired size;
7. A primer is applied over the natural part of the nails and then a new gel primer over the entire nail;
8. With a brush, the gel is mixed with the acrylic powder and applied to the nails, taking care not to touch the cuticle;

Advantages of acrylic nails

Especially for people who regularly bite their nails, acrylic gel options have many advantages. Here’s why you should consider putting on acrylic nails:

Resistant and natural

Some people find acrylic nails too artificial. With the gel in the technique, this aspect becomes more natural, which guarantees a more interesting aspect to your nails. It is the resistance of acrylic combined with the naturalness of the gel.

Simple and fast process

Of course, it is a more laborious procedure. But it is much easier to do acrylic nails than to wait for your own nails to grow, especially if they are weak and break often.

Longer life of enamel

As the acrylic surface is smoother, the enamel can adhere better, preventing it from peeling. Can you imagine keeping your nail polish intact for two weeks?

If properly cared for, acrylic nails can last for about two or even three months. For this, it is important to carry out maintenance every 15 days.
