Below are some of the things you should be aware of and consider before getting acrylic nails, follow by the list of our picks for the teal manicure options.

What to Consider Before Getting Acrylic Nails

  • Acrylic nails are much harder to the touch compared to gel nails, so they will last longer, but they also use pretty harsh chemicals. If you’re sensitive to certain chemicals you might want to skip this one and opt for other options.
  • If you love the look of super long nails, extra sharp nails or would like to include some 3D art on your nails, acrylics should be your choice over gel nails
  • Even though acrylic nails are considered to be a little outdated, they are now making a comeback making them a popular manicure choice, especially among celebrities
  • Applying acrylic nails requires specialized skills, so you can’t count on any nail salon offering them. An acrylic nail brush is a must to say the least.. In fact, you should research the options to make sure the salon you’re going to has a skilled technician that can pull off the look you were hoping for.
  • Are they bad for your nails? When your natural nail is properly prepped for the procedure and the nails are applied correctly, they are no worse than other artificial nail extensions.
