What’s Included in a Full Set of Acrylic Nails?
- An acrylic full set typically includes color.
- Acrylic nails involve applying liquid and powder to natural nails to extend length and add strength. The acrylic is transparent initially, but color is usually added after it hardens.
- You can choose pastels, neons, metallics and more. Consider the occasion or season when selecting a color.
Average Cost and Maintenance of Acrylic Nails
- At average levels, a full acrylic set costs $30-$35.
- Fills are cheaper than new sets.
- A full set should last 6-8 weeks, with fills needed every 2-3 weeks.
Gel Sets and Different Shapes
- Gel sets use pre-shaped gel tips secured to the nails with gel. They don’t need filling so application is quicker.
- A full set creates new nails by applying acrylic to the natural nails. Multiple coats are applied and shaped as desired, then painted with polish. Almond, coffin, square and oval shapes are popular, along with trendy "lipstick" and "mountain" styles.
