The latest invention in nail grooming and care is acrylic nails. These are
artificial nails that are pasted onto the real nail. Acrylic nails are
basically made by mixing a particular powder and liquid. The best liquid
that can do no harm should contain Ethyl Methacrylate, also called EMA. This
is slightly expensive.
However, a cheaper option is Methyl Methacrylate or MMA, but is known to have certain harmful effects. The only reason it is preferred while preparing acrylic nails is because of its cost effectiveness. Amongst its side effects are serious skin reactions and deformities in natural nail growth. |
Keeping this in mind, it is better to pay extra and get acrylic nails can do
you no harm at all. Most nail technicians do believe that an artificial nail
should not be treated differently from the natural nail. This is because any
damage caused due to the fixture of acrylic nails could lead to unwanted
problems for natural growth of nails.
Why do people opt for acrylic nails ? Basically those who are unable to
naturally grow their nails for varied reasons opt for this. Some people have
extremely brittle nails that just cannot grow beyond a certain point.
Sometimes people get acrylic mails fixed simply for a particular function or
occasion when they want to look their best, which includes their nails.
There are yet others who fix acrylic nails simply to curtail their nail
biting habit. No one would want to bite expensive and exquisitely designed
nails!
One of the main attractions of acrylic nails is that because of its length,
nail technicians or nail artists can imprint unique designs that could be
the envy of many eyes. One of the latest trends is that of nail piercing,
which is possible only with long and strong nails and this is where acrylic
nails plays its role. -
