Should I Extend My Nails?

Not everyone has the privilege of long and strong nails that shine! Many of us have brittle nails that don't grow very fast. This could also be the result of nail biting.

But does that mean we cannot have beautiful long nails? Nail extensions can be done by anyone who wants long nails. They look beautiful and are permanent, so you can flaunt them forever.

How is it Done?

Nails extended at the end? If you are wondering how this can be done, you will be surprised as the procedure is very simple.

Before the extension, a basic manicure is performed to clean the nails and crop the cuticles. Then the artist and you will decide how long you want your nails to be extended.

The extensions are made of plastic and acrylic gels are used to join them to your nails.

Then your extended nails will be filed in a shape of your choice, whether round or square. A coat of polish is applied as a final touch to your nails.

The whole process will take around 45 minutes to an hour.

Are they Long Lasting?

These extensions are permanent and will last forever. The only effort you need to take is to maintain it by visiting a nail parlour every two weeks.

Nail extensions are strong and permanent and do not break, but if they do, you need to get it re-shaped or replaced by paying an extra amount.

But this happens very rarely and should not discourage you from getting a nail extension.

Maintaining Them

It is very important to keep your extension clean, as dirt can cause bacteria to settle in and gradually lead to an allergy or infection.

After you get your nails extended you don't need to polish them for a long time as they look new for quite some time.
