Acrylic nails:- are a popular type of artificial nail enhancement made from a mixture of a
liquid monomer and a powder polymer that hardens when applied to your natural nails. They are
often used to lengthen or strengthen nails and can be customized with different shapes, colors,
and designs. Here's a breakdown of how they work and some key points about acrylic nails:

How Acrylic Nails Are Applied:

1. Preparation: The natural nail is cleaned and sometimes filed to remove shine. Any
existing polish or oils are removed to ensure proper adhesion.
2. Nail Tips or Forms: If you're looking for longer nails, a plastic tip is glued to the natural
nail. Alternatively, forms can be used to sculpt the acrylic over the natural nail.
3. Acrylic Mixture: A technician dips a brush into the liquid monomer and then into the
powder polymer. The mixture is applied to the nail in layers.
4. Shaping and Filing: After the acrylic hardens, the nails are shaped, buffed, and polished
to your desired look.
5. Finishing: Nail polish, gel polish, or intricate designs can be added to finish the look.

Types of Acrylic Nails:

• Overlay: A thin layer of acrylic is applied directly on top of your natural nails for added
strength and durability.
• Extensions: Acrylics can be used to add length using tips or forms.
• Sculpted Acrylics: These are created using forms to build out the acrylic into the desired
shape without tips.

Advantages:

• Strength and Durability: Acrylic nails are sturdy and can handle daily wear and tear.
• Customizability: You can have them shaped into various forms like square, oval, stiletto,
coffin, etc.
• Variety of Designs: Acrylic nails are great for intricate designs, such as nail art,
rhinestones, glitter, or marble effects.
• Long-Lasting: Properly applied acrylic nails can last for 2-3 weeks before needing a fill.
Disadvantages:

• Damage to Natural Nails: If not properly removed or applied, acrylic nails can cause
damage to your natural nails, such as thinning or weakening.
• Maintenance: Acrylic nails require regular fills (every 2-3 weeks) as your natural nails
grow out.
• Chemical Odor: The application process often involves strong-smelling chemicals that
can be unpleasant.
• Cost: Acrylic nails can be relatively expensive, especially if you go to a salon for
professional application and maintenance.

Aftercare Tips:

• Avoid Rough Handling: Be gentle with your acrylic nails to prevent them from breaking
or lifting.
• Keep Them Dry: Ensure your nails don’t stay wet for long periods to prevent fungal
infections.
• Regular Maintenance: Visit your nail technician regularly to fill in the growth gap and
maintain the shape and appearance of your nails.

If you're thinking about getting acrylic nails, it's always best to go to a professional nail
technician, especially if it's your first time, to ensure they are applied safely and correctly.

Ombre nails:- are a popular nail art technique where the color gradually fades from
light to dark (or vice versa) or blends from one color to another. The smooth gradient effect
creates a stunning, sophisticated look. There are several ways to achieve ombre nails, depending
on your preferences and the tools you have available. Here's a basic guide on how to do them:

1. Traditional Ombre with Sponge

This is one of the most common ways to achieve ombre nails.

Materials you'll need:

• Base coat
• Two or more nail polishes in complementary colors (for example, pink and purple, or nude and
black)
• Makeup sponge (a wedge-shaped one works best)
• Top coat
• Nail polish remover and cotton pads for clean-up

Steps:

1. Prep your nails: Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2. Apply a base color: Paint your nails with the lighter color (this will be the base for the ombre).
Let it dry completely.
3. Create the ombre effect:
o Dab a small amount of the darker color onto the makeup sponge.
o Gently press the sponge onto your nail, starting from the tip and moving toward the
cuticle. You can overlap the two colors slightly where they meet.
o Repeat this step until you have a smooth gradient. You may need to reapply the polish
to the sponge to build the intensity of the color.
4. Blend: After each application, lightly press the sponge on the nail and blend the colors to
achieve a seamless fade.
5. Clean-up: Use a cotton pad dipped in nail polish remover to clean around your nails if necessary.
6. Top coat: Once you're happy with the ombre effect, apply a glossy top coat to seal the design
and add shine.

2. Reverse Ombre (Inverse Gradient)

In a reverse ombre, the darker color is at the base of your nails, and the lighter color fades toward
the tips. The process is the same, but you reverse the application order of the colors.

3. Ombre Using Gel Polish

If you're using gel polish, the process is slightly different but follows the same principle. You'll
need a UV/LED lamp to cure each layer and may need special ombre brushes or a sponge for a
smoother gradient.

4. French Ombre Nails

This is a chic twist on the classic French manicure, where instead of a solid white tip, the tips
have a gradient effect that fades into a nude or pale pink base color.

5. Airbrush Ombre Nails

For a more professional look, you can visit a nail salon to get airbrush ombre nails. This
technique uses an airbrush machine to create a perfectly blended, seamless gradient with a more
polished and softer finish.

Ombre nails are versatile, so you can experiment with different color combinations or even add
glitter, sequins, or other accents to make your ombre design unique!
