What is acrylic overlay?

Acrylic overlay is a popular nail enhancement technique where a layer of acrylic liquid and powder is applied to natural nails or nail tips to strengthen and improve their appearance.

Acrylic overlay is often used to add length and durability to natural nails, making them less prone to breaking and chipping. It can also be used to correct imperfections such as ridges, cracks, or uneven nail beds.

The process of getting an acrylic overlay involves filing and shaping the nails, applying a primer to help the acrylic adhere, and then layering the acrylic liquid and powder on the nails. The acrylic is then shaped and buffed to create a smooth, even surface.

Acrylic overlay is available in a variety of colors, finishes, and designs, making it a versatile option for creating customized nail looks. It is a long-lasting nail enhancement option that typically lasts 2-3 weeks before needing a fill or maintenance.

Overall, acrylic overlay is a popular choice for those looking to add strength and durability to their natural nails, while also having the option to customize their nail look.
