Instead of replacing the entire acrylic nail each time, though, nail techs often use a technique called a fill. During this process, the area of new growth around the cuticle is filled in, any areas where the acrylic had lifted away from the natural nail are filed down, and the acrylic nails are restructured and rebalanced.

Typically, gel nails last two to three weeks, but no more than three weeks. Even if the client’s nails grow slowly, you should still have them redone around the three-week mark because the gel will continue to cure under the sun and will become harder to get off and potentially cause damage.

How long acrylics last depends on each individual client and how quickly their natural nails grow. Price varies based on length and shape

Much better than you remember! Ideal for someone who loves designed nails! These days, you can find pre-painted sets for all nail lengths and shapes, from short square nails to long oval nails. Press-on nails can last as long or as little as you want them to. With a strong-hold nail glue, your press-on mani might still look good two weeks later, but the beauty of press-ons is that you can change them up easier and faster than other types of manicures on this list.
