Acrylic Colored Nail Tips
Short, brittle nails usually have a small chance of growing long and strong. Acrylic nail tips are the solution, especially when they come in the latest colors. Acrylic colored nail tips can be applied at home using a kit, or at a salon complete with a full manicure. With these tips, you can have long nails in a chosen shape, and you can change the colors or designs frequently. What's best, these acrylic nails stay on until you remove them, which must be done from time to time. Does this Spark an idea?

The New Trend
-
According to Ygoy, acrylic nails are a craze among women since they go along with the latest fashion and tastes. These colored nail tips are gaining in popularity due to the variety of colors and designs available. Additionally, these tips can be worn for a special occasion, or for regular everyday life. Besides being a fashion statement, acrylic nail tips are practical since they will not break easily, which is good news for nail biters. They cover up weak, brittle nails and help make them stronger and longer, especially if you can't refrain from biting them or breaking them in times of stress.
Not Just for Brittle Nails
-
Although short, brittle nails will definitely benefit from these acrylic nail tips, longer, stronger nails may benefit as well. With these tips, nails won't break or become brittle, especially when using your hands a lot to complete certain tasks. These tips also help while traveling since they don't require much care. Once acrylic nail tips are applied, they last for about two weeks, and don't chip or fade in color. As a result, you don't need to get manicures weekly and constantly reapply nail polish to your nails to cover chips.

The Process of Applying
-
Polymer, a powdered acrylic product and monomer, a liquid acrylic product, are the substances that are mixed together to make these acrylic colored nail tips. They are applied with a brush onto each fingernail after a complete manicure is performed. After a few minutes, this mixture hardens and becomes a thick, strong artificial nail. This mixture must be applied correctly, which is why it is recommended that you do this at a nail salon to avoid having unnatural-looking nails. The acrylic needs to be filled in every two to three weeks as your nails grow, or even sooner if your nails start loosening up. When nails loosen up, water may be trapped underneath them and create mildew, which may damage your natural nail plate.
Caring for Acrylic Nails
-
To keep your acrylic colored nail tips bright, hard and strong, avoid soaking them in water for a long time. Doing so may result in infection or nail fungus due to the trapped water. Wear rubber gloves when washing dishes or completing other household chores. Remember to maintain your nails regularly at a nail salon. You can file them down with a nail file to fix the shape, or do so at a salon. You may also change up the color of your acrylic nails, or add designs such as glitter or small nail stickers. Reapply the color only to the tips or to the entire nail to freshen up the color over time. To change the color of your acrylic tips, use a gentle nonacetone nail polish remover. You can remove the acrylic colored nail tips either at a nail salon or at home using an acrylic nail remover kit or nail polish remover that contains acetone.
