LIQUID AND POWDER
(ACRYLIC NEW SET)
Liquid and powder enhancements are arguably the enhancement type that most nail clients are familiar with. Often referred to as acrylic nails, fake nails, Solar nails (which is a long discontinued brand of CND liquid and powder), porcelain nails, and false nails, liquid and powder enhancements are applied with a brush dipped in liquid and then a powder, and shaped onto the nail. Then finish by polish. Or Gel Polish (with an extra)
There is another call COLOR POWDER. In stead of form your nails with non-color powder then polish after. We use the powder with is colored by themselves. After applied powder on your nails, shape and fine the Nails surface. There is only need the TOP coat on only. With this type of acrylic nails, your nails shape won’t be changed after 4 layers of polish (base, top, 2 color layers)
Gel X/ Apres Nails
Gel-X is a type of nail extension that offers natural-looking, longer nails without having to wait for your natural nails to grow out. Since the extensions are made out of gel polish, Gel-X has the flexibility of a natural nail with the length of a press-on or acrylic nail
NAIL ENHANCEMENT
A nail enhancement is any material that can add length or strength to the natural nail. There are several options for nail enhancements, we are providing these Nail Enhancement services categories. Liquid and Powder ( ACRYLIC SET, Hard Gel (LIQUID GEL) and Dip Systems (DIPPING POWDER), Gel X, Apres Nails.
HARD GEL (LIQUID GEL)
A hard gel is better suited to longer enhancements, as it is more durable. We advise using a hard gel whenever length is being added to the nail. Soft gel is great for adding color or a bit of support to the nail itself, often called an overlay. NAIL SERVICES EXPLAINED: ACRYLIC, GEL & POLISH
It is important to note that if it a nail service is composed of liquid and powder, it is not gel nail service. We have often seen salon nails advertised as gel nails meaning a liquid and powder service and a gel topcoat to add shine.
DIP SYSTEMS (DIPPING POWDER)
Dip systems have been around for many years, but are gaining in popularity because of their novelty, and in some cases, creative marketing as a “non-damaging” nail enhancement system. Dip systems begin with the application of a cyanoacrylate resin “glue” to the nail plate, and then the finger tip is dipped into a container of acrylic powder, and the process is repeated until the desired thickness is achieved. Since there is no liquid (monomer) used, dip systems are low odor, and can be soaked off with acetone. Dip system enhancements are also generally more flexible and are similar in consistency to a gel enhancement. Dip system powders come in many colors, and can also be done in a traditional pink and white French application.
