Acrylic nails are the latest procedure in manicures, and have been gaining in popularity for the past several years. Acrylic nails are artificial nails that are glued on to the natural nail and fortified with a powder and liquid formula. Many people believe that acrylic nails strengthen the natural nail, making it less likely to break or weaken. Acrylic nails are often chosen by people who are unable to grow their own natural nails and want to have longer nails. Other people choose acrylic nails to curb their nail biting habit.
How It Works
A nail technician uses nsi glue or another strong adhesive to attach a plastic artificial nail directly to the tip of the natural nail. The rest of the nail is made by mixing a particular powder and liquid together. Two types of liquids are typically used in the mixture: ethyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate. Ethyl methacrylate is the more expensive liquid that also gives the best results, while methyl methacrylate is the cheaper version and is known to have adverse effects. The mixture is applied to the nail with a brush and left to dry. As it dries, the mixture hardens and becomes extremely tough to the touch. Most acrylic nails need to be professionally removed because they adhere so strongly to the natural nail.
