Nail Extension FAQs
Find out more about nail extensions and how to do them yourself through our frequently asked questions.
What are nail extensions, and how do they work?
Nail extensions are enhancements that add length and shape to natural nails. You create them using materials like tips, builder gel, or sculpting liquids that you apply and cure to form a stronger nail surface.
Can I do nail extensions at home?
Yes, at-home nail extensions are possible with the right tools and some practice! You will need all the right equipment to complete the process safely and effectively; thankfully, we offer everything you need in our nail extensions collection.
How long do nail extensions last?
When properly cured, nail extensions can last two to three weeks. Regular filing and gentle care can help extend their wear and prevent lifting or damage.
What is the difference between nail tips and sculpted extensions?
Nail tips are pre-formed plastic shapes that attach to the edge of your natural nail, while sculpted extensions are built directly onto the nail using gel or acrylic and a form for some guidance.
Are nail extensions safe for natural nails?
Yes, nail extensions can be safe when you apply and remove them properly. Using quality products and refraining from harsh filing or picking helps protect your natural nails underneath.
