Acrylic nails

A nail enhancement made with the use of acrylic is very resistant, even in difficult conditions. It differs from gel and hybrid products primarily with respect to texture. Mixed with Liquid, the dry powder creates a self-curing mass which does not have to be polymerized in a lamp like the two other types of products. Acrylic cures when it comes into contact with the air. When the product has cured, it just has to be processed and covered with color, and voilà, the nails are ready! Doubtless, one of the main advantages of that methods is that the natural nail plate can be elongated to the desired length. Moreover, such nails are very resistant to damage, so clients can enjoy the beautiful manicure for a long time. A great product for first experiences with the acrylic method is Fashion Clear, which is now also available in small-volume packaging units.

There are many factors which should be taken into account when choosing manicure products –the most important one is, off course, their impact on your nails. A professional technician will easily assess the condition of nails and suggest appropriate treatment and styling methods.

A good nail technician will easily assess which type of material is better for your nail plates. Remember that choosing a nail salon with the Indigo logo is a guarantee of excellent service.

Acrylic nails are made with the use acrylic powder which is mixed with monomer liquid in advance. As we have mentioned before, acrylic cures on its own after a few minutes.
