acrylic nails

Salon finger extensions

Acrylic nails are artificial fingernail extensions made by combining a liquid monomer with a powder polymer, forming a hard protective layer over natural nails.

They're applied at salons and can be shaped, lengthened, and painted: She got acrylics for the wedding.

Acrylics require regular fills as natural nails grow out, and removal involves soaking in acetone.
