Nails

Acrylic nails

A build-up of powder and liquid that hardens in the air – very strong and shapeable.

Acrylic nails are made from a mix of acrylic powder and a liquid (monomer) that hardens in the air. The material is very strong and well suited to longer or artistically shaped nails.

Difference to gel:

Acrylic cures without a lamp and is especially robust, though it has a stronger smell while being applied. As with gel: regular refills and proper removal protect the natural nails.
