Acrylic nail care with encapsulation
If you love long, strong, and stylish nails, you've probably tried acrylic encapsulated nails. They're elegant, durable, and offer endless design options. But did you know that a small mistake can ruin the result and even weaken your natural nail?
At YLG Studio Nails in Brandon, Florida, we've discovered that many clients are unaware of certain secrets that prolong the beauty of their acrylic nails and prevent unnecessary damage. Today, we'll tell you how to care for them like an expert so they always look perfect.
Know Your Nails Before Applying Acrylic
Before applying any acrylic, it's essential to assess the health of your natural nails. Weak, brittle, or fungal nails are not good candidates for extensions until they are healthy. Strong nails allow the acrylic to adhere properly and prevent lifting or breaking. In our salon, we always perform this check before beginning any procedure to ensure long-lasting and safe results.
Maintain hygiene and avoid excessive moisture
Exposing acrylic nails to water for extended periods without protection can weaken the bond between the natural nail and the acrylic, causing lifting and blistering. Wearing gloves when washing dishes or cleaning, and drying your nails thoroughly after showering, is a simple habit that makes a big difference in the longevity of your manicure.
Constant Moisturizing for Nails and Cuticles
Although acrylic nails protect the natural nail, the surrounding skin and cuticles still need care. Applying nourishing oil daily keeps the cuticle flexible and prevents the skin from drying out or cracking. In addition, constant moisturizing helps keep the natural nail strong and ready for future infills or design changes.
Avoid using your nails as tools
No matter how tough they are, acrylic nails aren't made for opening cans, scraping hard surfaces, or any task that requires force. This type of exertion can cause cracks, peeling, or irreparable damage to the natural nail underneath. Treat your nails like a delicate accessory; it's the best way to prolong their life and keep them looking their best.
Infills and Professional Maintenance
Infilling is not a "one-time" process. To maintain the shape, shine, and integrity of your nails, infills every 2 to 3 weeks are essential. At YLG Studio Nails, our specialists review every detail during the infill: we remove raised areas, reinforce the acrylic, and apply techniques that ensure the natural nail is not damaged, guaranteeing a consistently professional and long-lasting finish.
Daily care makes the difference
The combination of hygiene, hydration, protection, and professional maintenance ensures that your acrylic nails with encapsulation always look spectacular. It's not just about aesthetics; it's about preserving the health of your natural nails and enjoying a style that lasts for weeks.
