This is a highly misunderstood subject. Acrylic nails DO NOT cause nail fungi. However, some clients who wear nail enhancements do get a more common disorder commonly known as nail mold. Mold occurs when the nails are not maintained on a regular basis (every 2-3 weeks), or when the artificial nails are applied improperly.

Your natural nails will return to normal in two to three months after removal. If they are applied and removed correctly, artificial nails do little damage to your nails. Your own nails will always grow back in the same condition they were in before the artificial nails were applied. Be sure to use a good nail strengthener during the growing-out process and plenty of cuticle oil.

ANSWER: In and of themselves and when applied properly, acrylic nails are safe. What contributes to the "danger" to clients is repeated exposure to the chemicals on the skin.

The danger is when products are applied improperly.

Used as directed, T.I.P.S. will help you get rid of your artificial nails without damaging your natural nail.
