Acrylic nails have been available for several decades, but in recent years they have seen a rebirth in popularity. This can be attributed to a combination of celebrities, Instagram, and our societal fixation on nail art. Acrylics are an excellent choice for individuals who want to strengthen and lengthen their nails, and they can also produce a canvas that is larger and more uniformly shaped for individuals who enjoy creating beautiful nail designs. Quick science lesson: Acrylics are composed of a liquid monomer and a powder polymer that, when mixed together, produce a paste. This paste is then linked to the native nail. After that, the proper shape is given to it, and it is allowed to harden in situ so that it can provide length, thickness, and strength to the nail.
