Acrylic Nails, DYI and Information!

Acrylic Nails DIY Do it Yourself and Information on Artificial nails, how to apply and remove artificial nails. Advices for manicure and acrylic nails.

very important information!

I used a nail glue to apply my artificial nails but it was a different brand than the nail product itself. Now, I can’t get the artificial nails to come off. What do I do?

In most instances the brand of nail glue used shouldn’t matter. However, in a few there is a strange interaction between the acrylic nails and the glue. Usually, it results in nails that won’t stay on rather than ones that won’t come off. However, either problem is possible.

Try soaking your nails in acetone nail polish remover for five to 10 minutes; no longer than 15. Make sure to work the solution in underneath the nails as much as possible. The nails and glue should soften sufficiently to allow nail removal even if they peel away in sections rather than in a single piece. If that doesn’t work, however, you may have to use pure acetone, which is much harsher to skin and cuticles.

Acrylic nails look more natural, last longer and are thinner.

After a lot of experience and discussions with friends I can tell you that the Gel or Acrylic decision is a very personal one. Try one, and if its not working for you, you know you need to switch  everyone seems to prefer something different when it comes to nails.

Acrylic nails nails are not easy to be applied, you must be very experienced and skilled otherwise the result look sooooo good.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: it seems that usage of gel nails may cause cancer (if UV lamps are used). Please ask a doctor if you are not sure!!!
