4 Easy Steps to Do Nail Extension by Applying Acrylic Powder on Nail Tips

What Is Acrylic Nail, And What Are Nail Tips?

Considering about there are not only professional manicurists but some beginners are reading this article. So, first of all, before I talk about the advantage of acrylic nails, let me tell you the definition of these professional nouns.

Acrylic Nail

Different from the gel extension method, the acrylic nail is through the combination of Acrylic Powder and Acrylic Liquid to form a mass of semi-solid, then you could use a brush to reshape it on the nails to achieve the desired extension effect. Nowadays, there are many colored acrylic powders in the manicure market. You could choose the color that you want, which saves the time to brush basic gel polish again.

Nail Tips

Nail tips are made of plastic and are usually divided into full cover and half cover. The full cover is easier for beginners but the half cover will fit with your own nails better. Nail tips are an easy way to do nail extension for beginners.

Why Do We Recommend You Apply Acrylic Powder on Nail Tips?

1. Easy Operation

We often heard from the beginners that they were not satisfied with their own nail length and wanted to do the extension. However, it is not easy for them to control the amount of polygel and shape shaping. In fact, transparent nail tips could perfectly solve this problem. Just like using the press on nails, you only need to easily put it on, simple grinding, and then the length and shape would perfectly match your nails.

2. Tough And Strong

When we solve the difficulties of operation, there is one more thing that needs to be solved. The traditional gel extension and nail tips are fragile and easy to break, especially when you are on a long-term trip and cannot change the manicure easily. Once I was pulling the suitcase, the nail was directly broken by the pull rod. I'm sure someone else has the same experience as me. But you don't have to worry about it when you do the acrylic nails, the acrylic powder will be very hard and sturdy after drying.

3. Moreover, compared to using acrylic powder directly on the nails, spreading the acrylic powder flat on the nail tips doesn’t need to reshape the extension shape. Simple and sturdy, there's no more perfect way to like that.
