Frequently Asked Questions

What are acrylic nails?

Lee Nails: FAQS
Acrylic nails are the most common form of nail enhancement in the salon. They are strong and durable and provide a nice shape to the nail, especially for clients who have an abnormal shape to their nails. Acrylic nails are applied using a sable brush with liquid and powder. They can be applied over a natural nail or plastic tip, or they can be sculptured. They usually produce an odor but can be odorless. The nails harden on their own in just a few minutes.

Do acrylic nails damage your own nails?

Beauty Questions Answered
After acrylics are removed, your natural nails will be weaker than usual until the nails have grown the whole length again.

I have acrylic nails and go swimming often will the chlorine in the water effect my acrylic nails?

Beauty Questions Answered
The chlorine shouldn't hurt your acrylic nails, but having them in water quite a bit, you must be sure to have them filled every two weeks. The acrylic has a tendency to "lift' alittle after several weeks, requiring a touch up. If water gets in between the nail bed and the acrylic, that could cause mold or fungus growth.

What are the pros and cons for having acrylic nails?

Lee Nails: FAQS
Acrylic nails, in most cases, are the strongest semi-permanent nail extensions available. As with all nail extensions, with proper application and proper maintenance there are virtually no negatives to wearing acrylics.

Will fumes from acrylic nails harm my lungs?

Lee Nails: FAQS
There have never been any recorded cases that state nail product fumes are harmful to the lungs. Remember, anytime a product has a strong odor, even cleaning products in your home, it's recommended these products only be used in well-ventilated areas. If the extensions were removed properly, the eggshell feeling will be temporary. Ask your technician to use a nail strengthener to help toughen them up.

Why would a person choose gel nails over acrylic?

Beauty Questions Answered
Clients choose gel over acrylic because of preference- they can be much more shinier than the acrylics or they may not be able to wear acrylics for whatever reason such as an oily nail bed (acrylic doesn't stay on well) or sensitivities to the product. We do much more acrylic than gel nails. They seem to hold up on the nails better.

Currently, why is electric cooling used more than gas cooling?

Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Cooling
In the United States, most cooling needs in the 1930s and 1940s were provided by gas. By the 1960s, electric chillers began making inroads into the cooling market due to lower cost equipment, low electric rates, and higher efficiency machines. In the 1970s, the use of gas was restricted and electric cooling use continued to increase. By 1990, only 5% of all air conditioning in the United States was provided by gas.

How is biomass used to produce electric power?

Bioenergy and Biomass Frequently Asked Questions
When biomass is burned, it produces heat (as in any simple fireplace or furnace). In most power plants (steam-cycle or steam-turbine systems), this heat is captured by boiling water to generate steam, which turns turbines and drives generators that convert the energy into electricity. New technologies now being evaluated include several types of biomass gasifiers in which biomass is heated to convert it into a gas.

What biomass fuels are being used for electric power generation?

Bioenergy and Biomass Frequently Asked Questions
Today, wood and wood-processing residues and by-products are the most widely used biomass fuels in the USA (where more than 500 electric power plants operate on biomass). These conventional steam-cycle power systems have the longest operating experience, and are well understood.

Can cats get infections from these like humans can get from acrylic nails?

Soft Claws Questions and Answers
No. Cat's claws are completely different from human nails. Cats shed the outer sheaths of their claws periodically. You have probably seen this around their scratching post (or couch). The same happens when they are wearing Soft Claws. The nail cap comes off with the normal shedding of the outer nail sheath. This prevents the possibility of infection.

WHAT TYPE OF NAILS SHOULD BE USED WITH TREATED WOOD?

FAQ
Only hot-dipped galvanised or stainless steel nails should be used with CCA, CA or ACQ-treated wood. If CCA, CA or ACQ is specified, extended periods of wetting are presumably anticipated, and common nails corrode in wood under moist conditions. Electroplated galvanising is not thick enough to resist the corrosion effects under moist conditions. Stainless steel should be used in areas near salt water.

Can they be used with gels, or are they only for natural nails?

faq
That's It? can be applied to acrylics and gels. Using a clear gel overlay (like NSI's Perma Gloss)to seal the design gives your client the best of both worlds: long lasting nail art that can be polished over and will still look great when the polish is removed! That's It? works great on natural nails too.

What should be used to clean my nails?

Are there any environmental issues regarding the wear (i.e. is it sensitive to sunlight, reaction to combinations of common products like salt, soap, etc.)? This water based product is very strong and will wear well even through adverse conditions. However, because it is water based it is hydrophilic (water loving). Longer exposures to solvents and soaps may cause signs of wear. Once Acquarella has completely "cured" after about 6 hours, very little affects it.
