Acrylic Nails: How to Avoid Excessive Thickness
The Importance of Proper Filing
To prevent acrylic nails from becoming too thick, meticulous filing is essential. Avoid aggressive filing to remove excessive bulk quickly, as this can damage the nails.
Gel Nail Extensions as an Alternative
Gel nail extensions offer a durable alternative to acrylic nails while being less prone to excessive thickness. Their flexibility and shine make them a popular choice.
Fixing Thick Acrylic Nails
Using an E-File or Nail Drill
An e-file or nail drill can efficiently remove nail thickness. Use a light touch and work gradually to avoid damaging the natural nail or the acrylic.
Striking a Balance
Natural-looking acrylic nails should strike a balance in thickness. They should not be too thin or thick, but provide sufficient strength and durability.
