A lot of people tend to 'give their nails a break' or 'let them breathe' after a long time of using extensions or gel etc, but your nails don't need it at ALL. Keep the acrylic on at all times, and go for fills and new sets - if you go through phases of acrylic on, then acrylic off, you will end up with those phases of more delicate nails in between. I honestly recommend if you're going to stick with acrylic or something to make your nails thicker and less susceptible to cracking, to just stick with it. It's still acrylic, and prep still needs to be done to remove the oils from your natural nail bed. Is it essentially a form of acrylic powder, but instead of using monomer to activate it and sculpt it on the nail, you use a resin and stick the powder to it. Another myth - acrylic, gel and dip powder CANNOT damage your nail (your nail is just a bunch of dead cells) HOWEVER, as you mentioned incorrect or sloppy removal and prep causes the thin feeling in your nail (you have to buff etc to made the product stay, which of course means slightly thinning what is there, because its removing the shiny layer).Īs the other commenter said, they are essentially the same product. It is making no difference at all to the thickness of your natural nail underneath. Right, there's a big misconception that because there is stronger product on your nails when wearing gel/acrylic/dip powder that your nails are stronger. No political posts, political keywords, or political debates. And because this apparently still isn't clear enough, insulting and personally attacking other users or making unwanted sexual comments is grounds for an immediate ban.
