Artificial Nails

For those with a problem of chipping nails there is a solution in the form of nails made from various material. Yes, in recent times an increasing number of women are moving towards using artificial nails, rather than bothering with growing and maintaining natural nails, especially for those with nail growth problems.




Basically artificial nails are made from various material such as :

• Acrylic
• Gel
• Fiberglass wraps
• Silk wraps

Acrylic nails are rather popular because they are strongest and most durable, as compared to the other options. However, one prime problem with these is that if not done well by the nail technician, then they can look rather artificial.

Gel nails are sculpted from a form of Mylar.

Fiberglass wraps are actually pieces of fiberglass that are cut into the shape of nail and then glued onto the nail plate. These actually help in strengthening nails. And look rather natural.

Silk wraps are pieces of silk that are cut into the shape of the base nail and then pasted onto the nail plate. These look very natural, but are the most natural amongst the entire range of artificial nails.
