How long do artificial nail applications usually last?
Artificial nail applications should be maintained every two weeks. It is important to have regular fills because if the acrylic lifts away from the natural nail, moisture and bacteria can accumulate between them. A professional nail technician can spot problem areas better than someone with an untrained eye.
How often you visit your manicurist is a personal decision. Time varies for each person depending on the client’s use of their hands and length of their nail bed. Gel nail applications should be maintained regularly. It’s better for the health of the nail to continue the process month to month rather than picking them off and starting over. Regular monthly fills will keep your nails beautiful. A professional nail technician can help you decide how long between visits is best for you.
