Acrylic Nail Enhancements

     What are acrylic nails?  I’ve received numerous calls concerning acrylic nails.  The statements I hear most often are, “I didn’t know acrylic nails should be soaked off”, “I didn’t know acrylic nails were so damaging”, and “I didn’t realize I needed fill-ins every two weeks.”  Acrylic nails are a liquid and powder mixture, brushed on over a plastic nail tip to add length.  Most women get acrylic nails for weddings or other special occasions without researching what’s involved in maintaining them.

     How do I maintain acrylic nails?  If you break a nail or if a nail begins to lift, schedule a repair fill-in appointment.  A broken nail can become infected when moisture becomes trapped between the natural nail and the extension tip.  If you’re hard on your nails, shorter nails will avoid breakage and look more natural.  Use cuticle oil daily to soften dry cuticles that acrylics usually cause.

     How should I remove acrylic nails?  Clip the tips (length) down, remove polish and buff the top layer off and soak in pure acetone for about 45 minutes; scrape the softened acrylic off with an orange wood stick.  Prying off is never a good way to remove acrylic because it is painful and removes layers of your natural nails.  You should soak-off acrylic nails (every 6 to 8 weeks).  After your acrylics are removed, your natural nails will be weak, so a eight-week recovery program is recommended.

     What are the risks from long-term acrylic wear?  Possible nail health risks involving long-term use of acrylic nails are fungal infections, product allergies, separation or lifting of the natural nail plate, thin distorted nails, dry cracking cuticles, scarring of the nail bed, and deep grooved nails (also known as rings of fire.)

     Are there any alternative nail enhancements available?  Party Nails also known as temporary tips or special occasion nails are pre-decorated with nail art, last three days to one week and are used for ages 13-18 and for adults not interested in maintaining a set of nails for a long period of time.  Go 30 Prescription Nail enhancements are for weak nails or nail biters, last two weeks and do not require maintenance fill-ins or the use of electric drills.

A Non-damaging Nail Enhancement Method!

     If you’re looking for a nail enhancement that looks and feels like real nails then you should try the new Go 30 Prescription Nails enhancement method.  Many women are not satisfied with the traditional acrylic enhancement method because they produce nails that look and feel too thick and bulky.  Unfortunately some women develop allergic itchy, red, swelled skin reactions to the acrylic product.   Another draw back to traditional acrylics is that they require fill-ins using electric drills—all too often the nail tech doesn’t use sanitized drill bits and this can spread nail fungus from one client to another.  Also if the nail tech files down into the nail bed it causes pain, nail bed damage and possible infection.  Still another draw back to traditional acrylics is the painful removal process by prying or picking off the product that results in nail bed damage. 

     Go 30 Prescription Nails are perfect for clients who want long, beautiful nails without the time, pain, expense or negative risks associated with traditional acrylic or gel enhancement methods.  They are great for helping nail biters overcome their nail biting habit allowing them to grow out their nails safely.  Because Go 30 Prescription Nails cover the entire nail bed they stay on a nail biters fingers better.  Traditional acrylic tips are applied from the middle of the nail to the free edge rather than covering the entire nail bed.  The unsatisfactory thick and bulky artificial look of traditional acrylics is produced from applying too much acrylic product over the tip in an attempt to make a nail biters nails stay on better.

     Go 30 Prescription Nails are carefully fitted to each finger—the curvature and arch of each nail is precisely measured and recorded on a client’s prescription card.  The nails are sized to exactly fit the client’s nail shape producing nail enhancements that have a very comfortable, natural look and feel.

     Go 30 Prescription Nails are quick to apply; clear, full-cover nail tips that are custom-designed for application on top of the entire natural nail bed.  They are durable and last up to two weeks.  They require no fill-ins.  They are easily soaked off in ten to fifteen minutes in acetone.  Go 30 Prescription Nails make an excellent addition to any outfit you choose for everyday wear or for any special occasion such as parties, proms, graduations, weddings, reunions or church functions.  Because you get a new full set every two weeks your nails always look and feel nice.  If you want a healthier nail enhancement method that produces beautiful nails that look and feel just like your own then try Go 30 Prescription Nails today.  Go 30 Prescription Nails enhancements are available at any therapeutic nail salon staffed by a licensed onyxologist.
