Acrylic Overlays: A Guide to Enhancing Natural Nails
What is an Acrylic Overlay?
An acrylic overlay is a technique used to reinforce and beautify natural nails. It comprises applying a mixture of a liquid monomer and a powdered polymer to the nails.
Benefits of Acrylic Overlays:
- Strengthens and protects natural nails
- Improves nail appearance
- Can be customized with colors and designs
- Does not require a minimum natural nail length
Application Process:
Acrylic overlays are applied similar to regular nail polish. The nails are prepped, and the acrylic mixture is applied in thin layers, curing under a UV lamp between each layer.
Maintenance:
Acrylic overlays typically last for several weeks. They can be filled or repaired as needed to maintain their appearance and strength.
Note:
It is essential to consult a qualified nail technician if you have concerns about the health or suitability of acrylic overlays for your natural nails.
