I also do Ladies pamper days, where you can invite your friends round,
so that they can get their nails done too:). There are many people who aren't able to grow their nails to a length they are satisfied with. This can be due to various reasons, including brittle nails, working conditions, lifestyles, or an inability to overcome their habit of biting their nails. Whatever the reason, long nails can remain an envy for many. Nail extensions are artificial nails that are fixed on top of the natural nail and blended in to create a natural look. And as and when the base nail grows out, the gap is filled with the artificial nail materil . Nail extensions can also be for a ‘special event’ and removed safely following your big day. The process of applying nail extensions
Tips are pre-formed shapes, which are chosen to match your nail shape as closely as possible and then filed to ensure a perfect match is created. These are then attached by glue to your existing nail. These are the most durable type of extension. First, your natural nail has to be slightly buffed to give the adhesive a better grip. Then, the nail is glued to your nail bed and filed to create a smooth natural looking join, as this is done by hand and not by electric drills the filing process will not damage your natural nail. The difference between Acrylic, Gel, Fibreglass & Silk

Acrylic
Acrylic is a very popular system and used widely by Nail Technicians. Acrylic is the strongest of all systems and is recommended for clients who use their hands for manual work or who struggle to maintain their nails. Acrylic can be applied over a natural nail or over an extension, providing strength. Acrylic can however discolour over time, or if you use chemicals, for example everyday cleaning agents, without gloves. This can be cured by a UV Topcoat or a clear topcoat of polish being applied. Acrylic does have an odour whilst being applied but this is odourless when dry. Acrylic may also be used as sculpture using nail forms, these are very popular for nail repairs or if you have natural nails of an adequate length and do not wish to have tips applied. These provide you with a natural lightweight extension free from glue, nail tips and no filing is required for blending the tip.
