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.
