– GETTING ACRYLIC NAILS

– TIPS TO KNOW

Before You Get Acrylic Nails

Acrylic nails make your hands look good; that’s a fact. But you need to learn how to care for them properly if you want to enjoy them for as long as possible. You’ll also need to be careful so you don’t damage them.

If you’re a regular in getting acrylic nails, you probably know this already but if you’re not, there’s certain things you need to know. These tips will help with what you need to do know and do when you get those celebrity-style nails.

Find a good nail technician

Find yourself someone who really works for you; who understands your style but is also experienced and stylish enough to give you new ideas. Make sure you get yourself a nail technician that loves her (or his) job. You will benefit a lot from it.

Keep Your nails clean

You need to make a habit of keeping your acrylic nails clean; this will help to reduce the risk of infection.

Wash your hands regularly and make sure you regularly clean out any dirt that gets under those nails. Get a nail brush for this.

Find your length

Find a length that works for you and it might not be long nails. Long nails look good but not everyone can manage them well. So, if you want your acrylic nails to last long enough for the amount they cost you, go for a practical length that works for you.

You need regular fills

It’s important for you to factor in regular filling if you’re getting acrylics. Don’t believe you can skip it because this may not be good for your nails. if you don’t get regular fillings, the nail may separate from your natural nail bed leaving open to dirt and ultimately infection.

You should have your nails filled regularly every 2 or 3 weeks.

They can be painful to get off

It could hurt for you to take out your old acrylics out when you want to replace them. The method that is often used is quite painful especially if your salon is a real busy place with a lot of customers.

A gentler method is to soak your nails in acetone and gently file out the old nails until you take them all off. You probably will have to do this on your own before you visit the salon.

They’re not cheap

Getting acrylic nails isn’t exactly cheap. If you want to make it a regular thing, you should plan it before-hand and budget for it.

Make sure you get it done at a salon where they’re professional and clean. Don’t go looking for cheap options that could lead to infections.

Take a break sometimes

Once you get acrylics, it’s easy to get addicted to the beautiful and polished look they give your nails, especially if your natural nails are not so attractive. However, it’s a good idea for you to take some break in between getting your nails fixed. This is because getting acrylic nails put stress on your natural nails and often leave it dry and brittle.

You should let your nails rest and breathe before putting a new set so that they can stay in good health.
