Adore Nails & Spa
Acrylic nails have long been a go-to for clients seeking durable length, striking shapes, and creative nail art. At Adore Nails & Spa, our acrylic services combine professional sculpting techniques with an emphasis on nail health to produce results that are strong, wearable, and tailored to your personal aesthetic.
Why Acrylic Nails Matter
Acrylic systems allow for dramatic transformations—lengthening, strengthening, and perfecting nails in ways that are difficult with natural nails alone. Acrylics are highly customizable: they can be built to any shape, reinforced for active hands, and are an ideal surface for detailed nail art or complex finishes. When applied and maintained correctly by experienced technicians, acrylics provide a long-lasting solution for clients who want consistent length and durability.
However, quality and technique matter. Improper application, excessive filing, or careless removal can damage the natural nail. Adore Nails & Spa emphasizes correct protocols: base preparation that preserves the nail plate, appropriate product layering, and professional removal to protect your natural nails.

Why Choose Acrylics at Adore Nails & Spa
Expert Application
Our technicians build acrylics with a focus on balance and natural movement. Correct apex, appropriate thickness, and smooth transitions reduce stress on the natural nail beneath the enhancement.
Quality Materials
We use professional monomers and polymer powders that adhere properly and provide consistent results. Products are chosen for durability, finish, and safe handling.
Proper Removal
To preserve the natural nail, professional removal is critical. We do not encourage aggressive scraping—soak and gentle removal techniques protect the nail plate and cuticle.
Key Benefits of Acrylic
Nails
Durability: Stands up to everyday wear and is less prone to chip or break compared to some overlay systems.
Shape Versatility: From soft squared nails to dramatic stiletto or coffin shapes, acrylics can be formed and refined precisely.
Creative Canvas: Acrylics are ideal for complex nail art and durable designs that last between fills.
Long-Term Maintenance: With regular fills and care, acrylic sets can stay in great condition for months.
How We Protect Nail Health with Acrylics
Initial Assessment: We assess the natural nail’s thickness and health to determine a safe approach. For weakened nails, we may recommend strengthening treatments or gentler systems before committing to long lengths.
Appropriate Thickness: Thin acrylic is not always better — it must have enough structure to resist bending but not so thick it stresses the nail bed. We balance strength and flexibility.
Gentle Filing Techniques: We minimize aggressive buffing of the nail plate. Surface preparation is conservative and controlled to avoid thinning the natural nail.
Aftercare Instructions: Clients receive clear guidance on at-home maintenance: avoid prying, keep nails dry and clean, use cuticle oil, and return for fills promptly to avoid lifting-related problems.
Frequently Asked Questions Manicure & Pedicure
How often do I need fills?
Typically every 2–3 weeks depending on growth rate and nail condition. Delaying fills increases the chance of lifting and bacterial or fungal infiltration.
Can I switch from acrylics to gel or dip?
Yes, but professional removal is required to avoid damage. After removal, a recovery period with strengthening treatments might be recommended before switching systems.
Will acrylics ruin my nails?
When applied and removed properly, acrylics should not permanently damage nails. Problems arise with improper techniques, infrequent fills, or harsh removal practices. Adore Nails & Spa emphasizes safe protocols to protect the nail.
What if an acrylic lifts?
Lifted acrylics should be addressed quickly. Small lifts can be repaired; extensive lifting may require partial removal to prevent moisture or debris under the enhancement.
Can I swim with acrylic nails?
Yes, but extended exposure to chlorine, seawater, and intense friction can affect the life of the set. Rinse and moisturize after exposure and schedule maintenance if lifting occurs.
Maintenance and Longevity Tips
- Apply cuticle oil daily to maintain flexibility and prevent brittleness.
- Avoid using nails as tools to pry or open items.
- Wear gloves for heavy cleaning tasks to reduce chemical exposure.
