Artificial Nails Descriptions
Acrylic Vs Solar Vs Bio Gel
Acrylic nails are a mix of powder and a liquid that are mixed to create a thick gel-like substance used on top of nail extensions to create any length and shape you desire. Solar nails use the exact same method (powder and liquid monomer) but the chemical make-up of the powder is healthier than acrylic. Solar nails will not turn yellow, are very durable, only require a fill every few weeks, and a layer of polish isn’t required (although it would leave the nail looking very plain). For these reasons we do not offer acrylic nails, and only offer solar or bio gel.
Bio gel is a sculpting gel that is very durable and is cured with the help of UV/LED lights. The gel sets very smoothly giving you a close to “real” looking nail. Because the gel is created using natural products, such as seaweed, it helps to protect and strengthen your own nail. Solar nails do not offer the same health improvements for your own nail but are slightly stronger than a bio gel nail.
