Q1: What are Silk Wraps?
A1: Wraps
are pieces of silk, linen or fibreglass that have been cut to
a desired shape and glued to the nail plate. This adds strength,
and sometimes length, to the nail. Also though applied on top
of natural nails, wraps are most commonly used to strengthen tips.
Silk is the most natural-looking wrap and provides a lot of flexibility,
but it is often too delicate for those with an active lifestyle. Nail Creations only use and recommend Silk
Wraps
Q2: What are
Acrylic Nails?
A2: These are the strongest and last the longest of all nail overlays.
They usually need to be filled in every two to three weeks as
your nails grow, but if you are hard on them, you may need to
see the manicurist more often to avoid nail loosening. This will
also lead to mildew if water gets trapped underneath. Nail
Creations DO NOT recommend or use acrylic nails as they
can damage the nail and nail bed.
Q3: What are
Gel Nails?
A3: Once,
these nails were made of dental porcelain gel-powder. Now, manicurists
use a Mylar form to sculpt your nail, and then cure – or
set – it under an ultraviolet light.
Because of this process, gel nails may need to be filled in less
often than acrylic ones,
although fill-ins are still necessary, and a professional must
remove the tips. This type of artificial nail may not be ideal
for those who type a lot, as constant contact with a keyboard
can cause the gel seal around the nail to crack and break. Nail
Creations do not use this technique
