Is it possible to get gel or acrylic nails without the tips?

I want to grow my nails naturally but i don't want the tips put on them as i can't have my nails very long for my work, so can i just get the acrylic ot gel coating just to keep them stronger?Is it possible to get gel or acrylic nails without the tips?
i get mine gel coated and if you want they can paint them a random colour or have tips but if you want you can have no colour and they look really natural.


but if you get your hands wet a lot at your work then your nails get soft and the gel falls off easier.


but i have had mine gelled for about a year now (i need to get them filled in every couple of weeks or so - depends on how fast your nails grow) and they look great


i would definatly recommend gel coatings!

  • My friend has gel nails and she wants to remove them but she has no acetone. what is another way?

    please help!My friend has gel nails and she wants to remove them but she has no acetone. what is another way?
    I think she'd be best off to go back to the salon and have them removed there. They will know the exact product or system that they use, therefore they will know how to get them off the quickest and with the least damage to your natural nail and nail bed. If you put too much pressure on the nails when trying to remove them, it could damage the nail matrix where the new nail cells are being formed.My friend has gel nails and she wants to remove them but she has no acetone. what is another way?
    Just tell her to cut them all off. It's a very painful process but it works well and i've stupidly done it heaps of times. If not, she can try using a nail polish remover to soften them a bit before cutting them. (most nail polish removers contain acetone). Hope this helps
    get them removed by a professional
    no without damaging her nails and/or nail bed...

    I do have to agree that the guy from Young Nails is very good!





    The prep work really makes a difference. You have to use a nail dehydrator after filing the nails. Also, a good protein bond must be used.



    Are Gel Nails or Solar Nails the best?

    I want to get nails but not for sure which ones are the best. Please help.Are Gel Nails or Solar Nails the best?
    Gel Nails are better becouse they last 2 weeks longer than Solar NailsAre Gel Nails or Solar Nails the best?
    I actually prefer the solar because they do not discolor or yellow like the gel nails will. I have tried both and to me, again, just my opinion, the gel nails seem less sturdy to me - and I'm super hard on nails. I've worn solar nails for several years now, though and it's been a while since I've tried the gel again, so there may have been some improvements.
    Gel nails are better, in my opinion. Just to clarify something, solar nails are acrylic nails. They are just calling them by another name, but there is no difference.
    gel nails ,r better i think even if u hit ur finger or nail on something it wont break easily

    How can you tell if your gel or acrylic nails need to be refilled?

    I had mine done a week ago and know you can see a little under half a mm of my nail. Does this mean i should get them refilled? How much should a refill cost%26gt;How can you tell if your gel or acrylic nails need to be refilled?
    Well, with mine I have two signs. I get french-tipped so when I see the growth of my regular nail starting to get transparent, I know its time. Secondly, I take a look at the nail bed and how far away the acrylic has grown away from the cuticle. I get it refilled when a sixth of my natural nail from my nail bed is showing.


    If you're getting a French, a good technique is to ask her to extend the white portion on your nail bed so it's thicker. That way, your natural nails don't begin to show for a while and you can go longer than a month on that.


    Generally speaking though, you should be getting your nails filled again three weeks to a month. The price range here in Canada is $60 for a full set and $45 for a fill but going down to $40 for a full set and $35 for a fill. Yours depends on where you live, I would call around to ask for prices because many places charge different fees. You should also ask people you know about the service because it's not worth paying cheap every month if your nails are going to end up rotting.How can you tell if your gel or acrylic nails need to be refilled?
    when your real nail is growing out, yes thats when you need a filling depends where you live i t usually range from 12-15
    you need them infilled every 2 weeks, with only 1 week growth they should still look ok, infills should cost you about 拢15-17 approx

    What is the difference between acrylic, gel and silk nails?

    I had acrylic nails put on today but I was wondering what the difference was between Acrylic, Gel and Silk nails?What is the difference between acrylic, gel and silk nails?
    the materials that are being put on your nails. acrylic is that powder they mix with liquid and put it on your nails. it hardens and turns a clearish white. gel nails are a different material and don't feel as hard. i think they are better for your actual nail. silk if i remember from beauty school is just a little sheet of silk they put on your nails and then paint over with glue so it stays. it is supposed to strengthen your nail and is also used to repair breaks and cracks

    Whats a good age to wear gel nails or acrylic?

    Okay im wondering if my age is appropriate for those nails..?


    im in juninor high going in to 7th grade.





    good answer please!!Whats a good age to wear gel nails or acrylic?
    thats too young. but if you like it go get it.


    they mess up youyr nails though, since your nails cant 'breathe' behind the plastic they get bendy and weakWhats a good age to wear gel nails or acrylic?
    thats fine
    There is not a specific age. However, do be aware that any sort of artificial nails will weaken your own nails as well as put you at risk for nail infections. If you just have to do this, try to at least go with the tips rather than full nails.
