Acrylic nails are artificially enhanced to provide long-lasting length and thickness. Here, two pro manicurists explain how long they typically last.
"Acrylic nails are artificial nail enhancements that go over your nails to add length and thickness," says Rose. Nail artist
adds:"Acrylic nails are applied by mixing a liquid and powder to create a paste, which is then applied to the natural nails. The mixture is then sculpted and shaped."A full set of acrylics is what happens when a new set of acrylics are applied to the nails. After two to three weeks, the nails will have grown in, creating a gap between the base of the nails and the acrylics. When this happens, you can get a fill.
You can get a fill a few times before you need a new full set. "It depends on the person, but usually, after three to four visits, you need a new set," says Rose.There's nothing you can do to prevent your nails from growing , so you can't exactly stretch acrylics beyond that three-week mark, but you can do things to prevent damage and breakage that would require you to head io the salon early.
Rose says she often sees damage happen with improper removal. "When the client pulls them off, it removes layers of keratin and weakens the nails," says Rose.Acrylic removal is not something you should do at home. For example, while an e-file is a totally safe tool when used by a trained professional, sometimes an uninformed nail tech (or overzealous DIYer might over-grind the nails, "leaving the nail beds to be thin and damaged," she says.
