Acrylic nails / extensions
6 Answers
I have decided to get my nails sorted - finally!! Can any one recommend a nail bar in Glasgow where i should go - one that you have used and would go back to. Another thing this might sound daft but is there a difference between acrylic nails and nail extensions? how much should i expect to pay? Your help would be appreciated!

A false nail is glued on then acrylic put on top of the nail, buffed and filed, i have permanent french done (squoval) which is white acrylic and pink acrylic made to look like a french manicure. It costs 45 quid for a full set then you have to have infills done every two to three weeks and they cost around 20-25 squid. Make sure you use something like solar oil on them at least twice a day to stop them drying or lifting too. There is a difference between acrylic and gel nails but only about the products they use.
