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.

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.

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

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.

Traditional UV gel nails are derived from acrylic. They are strong yet more flexible than acrylic. They're perfect for clients who have dry, brittle nails as they provide a lightweight flexible feel to the nails. UV gel nails are applied using a small nylon or sable brush with a "hair gel-like" substance. The gel is brushed on like polish and then cured under a UV light to harden the nails. can be applied over a natural nail or plastic tip, or they can be sculptured.

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.

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.

Then why not try having them "Wrapped". This means having your own nails covered with a product which will keep them strong. The nail technician will advise you on this and you will continue the care with regular maintenance's.

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).

Fingernails grow in much the same way as wood, with grains and the occasional knot. When filing nails, it is best to go 'with the grain'. When filing with the grain, excess pieces of fingernail flake easily and effortlessly in one direction. The nail can then be smoothed with a fine grain of sandpaper. Like wood, the fingernail splits apart when filed 'against the grain', resulting in painful tissue damage around the fingernail, which can lead to eventual infection and painful death.

The treatment of nails is very difficult. You should keep them short to prevent further damage from catching them, and ask your doctor about having the clippings analysed to make sure you do not have a fungal infection. A fungal infection can be an additional problem in damaged nails but can also mimic the typical changes of psoriasis. Topical vitamin D agents on the affected part can sometimes work if applied and covered with polythene, but this may only be practical at night.
