Acrylic nails
Acrylic is created by combining a powder (polymer) and a special liquid (monomer). You give the desired colour, shape and length to the nail. Are you a nail biter or do your nails always tear easily? Then acrylic nails are what you need. With acrylic nails, you can no longer bite or pick and your nails will no longer tear, because there is a hard and solid layer on the nails. Acrylic nails can be given any colour you want, this can be done with an acrylic colour powder, but also with gel polish. The price of acrylic nails varies per product. We also have handy starter kits, such as the Acrylic Get Started Kit & Acrylic Student Kit to start putting your own nails on.

What is the difference between acrylic nails & gel nails
The products you use with acrylic nails are air-drying. These nails are strong and not flexible. For gel nails, you use a liquid gel, which you have to build up in several layers. These layers should be cured under a lamp. Gel nails look a bit thinner, but they are strong and flexible. You can create beautiful nails with both products.
