Frequently Asked Questions About Acrylic Nails

How long do acrylic nails last and when should I get a fill?

Acrylic nails are incredibly durable and can last 6-8 weeks with proper care. However, as your natural nails grow, you'll notice a gap at the base of the nail. We recommend getting a fill every 2-3 weeks to maintain the appearance and structural integrity of your acrylics.

Regular fills prevent lifting, cracking, and keep your nails looking freshly done. The frequency may vary depending on how fast your natural nails grow and your daily activities.

Will acrylic nails damage my natural nails?

When applied and removed properly by a trained professional, acrylic nails should not damage your natural nails. At Dream Spa, we use gentle application techniques that preserve your nail health.

The key to preventing damage is proper removal—never peel or pick off acrylic nails yourself, as this can remove layers of your natural nail. We use a safe soak-off method that gently dissolves the acrylic without harming your natural nails. Many clients find their natural nails are actually protected and grow longer while wearing acrylics.

What's the difference between a full set and a fill?

A full set is the initial acrylic nail application where extensions are created on all ten nails from scratch. This service includes nail prep, tip application or sculpting, acrylic application, shaping to your desired length and style, buffing, and finishing with your choice of polish or gel color.

A fill (also called a refill) is a maintenance appointment for existing acrylic nails. During a fill, we file down the grown-out area near your cuticles, apply fresh acrylic to fill the gap, reshape and buff the nails, and apply new color. Fills are more affordable than full sets and help extend the life of your acrylic nails.

Can I get custom designs on my acrylic nails?

Absolutely! Custom nail art is one of the best features of acrylic nails. The smooth, durable surface of acrylics provides the perfect canvas for intricate designs. We offer custom nail art starting at $8 per nail, with pricing varying based on design complexity.

Popular options include:

  • Ombre effects and gradient blends
  • Glitter accents and sparkle designs
  • Geometric patterns and line work
  • Floral designs and nature-inspired art
  • French tips with creative twists
  • 3D embellishments and rhinestones
  • Hand-painted artwork and portraits
  • Seasonal or themed designs

Bring inspiration photos or describe your vision, and our talented nail artists will create a unique look that reflects your personal style.

How do I care for my acrylic nails to make them last longer?

Proper care can significantly extend the life and appearance of your acrylic nails. Follow these tips:

  • Wear gloves when cleaning, doing dishes, or working with chemicals
  • Keep your nails and cuticles moisturized with cuticle oil daily
  • Avoid using your nails as tools to open cans, scratch, or pry things
  • Be gentle when typing or doing activities that put pressure on your nails
  • Schedule regular fill appointments every 2-3 weeks
  • If a nail breaks or lifts, get it repaired promptly to prevent further damage
  • Avoid exposing nails to excessive heat or prolonged water submersion

With proper care, your acrylic nails will stay beautiful and strong between appointments.
