Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Extended Length photo-real nails typically last?
With proper application, diligent aftercare, and regular fills every 3-4 weeks, this durable design can maintain its pristine look for an extended period.
Can I achieve this specific design with my natural nails?
This 'Extended Length' design primarily relies on builder gel or acrylic extensions to achieve the significant length and structural perfection for the photo-real finish. While natural nails can be beautifully enhanced, they typically cannot reach the same extended length and structural integrity of this specific design.
Is the high-gloss, photo-real finish prone to scratching?
While highly durable, any high-gloss finish can show minor surface abrasions over time. Protecting your nails during strenuous activities and being mindful of impact will help maintain its pristine, mirror-like appearance.
What if I prefer a different shape for my extended nails?
Absolutely! While the crisp coffin shape beautifully showcases the Extended Length, this clean, photo-real finish looks equally stunning on almond, stiletto, or tapered square shapes. Discuss your preferred shape with your nail artist.
Will these extended nails feel heavy or unnatural?
When professionally sculpted and balanced, Extended Length nails should feel lightweight and comfortable, providing a strong yet natural-feeling extension of your own nail plate. Proper technique prevents them from feeling cumbersome.
Are there any health considerations for long extended length nails?
Maintaining excellent hygiene and adhering to a regular fill schedule are crucial to prevent lifting, which can trap moisture. Always ensure your salon follows stringent sanitation protocols to protect your natural nails' health.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Allow sufficient time for your nails to fully cure/harden; avoid excessive moisture for the first few hours after your appointment.
- ✓Moisturize your hands and cuticles regularly to keep the skin supple and prolong the fresh appearance of your manicure.
- ✓Be mindful of the new Extended Length; adjust daily tasks and movements to prevent accidental snagging or damage.
- ✓Always seek professional help for any repairs or removal to prevent damage to your natural nails.
Safe Removal
- 1.Professionally file down the bulk of the gel or acrylic product, carefully avoiding the natural nail plate.
- 2.Soak any remaining product in pure acetone for 10-15 minutes, allowing it to soften, then gently push off the softened material.
- 3.Lightly buff away any minor residue, then moisturize and nourish the natural nails thoroughly with oil and lotion.
