Please help ?When getting nail extensions do you return to the same place to get them infilled?
You should...because they all use different products and methods. If you want them to look like they did when you first got them done, then you should go back to the place where you first got them done.When getting nail extensions do you return to the same place to get them infilled?
You don not have to, as long as the other nail salons do ';Fills'; (that's what we call them where I'm from), it dosen't matter..It's actually your choice...
kinda

Somewhere in Edinburgh for cheap good gel nail extensions?
i am a student in Edinburgh and am looking for somewhere that does good gel nail extensions but are not really expensive? it's my birthday coming up and i want a treat!
any places and prices would be great thanks :DSomewhere in Edinburgh for cheap good gel nail extensions?
I used to go to a nail bar on the Gorgie Road - I cant remember what it was called as moved two years ago but it is small salon/hairdresser. It across from a news agent and some sort of council building/ office. It is right next to a bus stop without a shelter.
It was 拢20 for Acrylic and 拢25 for Gel extensions and the staff were great and you get 20% student discount to boot.beauty eye

What are the best fake nail extensions ?
Better than press on, but easy to put on and remove, and I also want to paint myselfWhat are the best fake nail extensions ?
Best in my books is natural nails of any length. I have tried the kits from the drug store, with tips and an acrylic gel to bond over the nail, but they are very difficult to apply, and don't turn out as well as nails applied at a salon. Even if you get nails put on at a salon, you can apply nail polish to them yourself later, if you want.

a chop shop using inferior products that are harmful to not only your nails but your health.....about 30 min.....

Are arycrlic nails as straiht forwards to do as gel nail extensions could i teach myself?
Oooh, they are definitely not straight forward, and take a lot of practising, and can be difficult to do on yourself (think of how tricky painting your right hand nails can be if you're right handed, and have to use your left hand). I'd only recommend learning by training through a professional level course, to learn the correct way to apply the nails and to learn the proper ways to prevent infection and damage to the natural nails.Are arycrlic nails as straiht forwards to do as gel nail extensions could i teach myself?
I wouldn't risk it. Those things can be dangerous if not applied by a skilled professional. You can leave little pockets of air and dirt and bacteria can get in there and you could develop a fungus (think about it, fingernails are one of the dirtiest places on your body). I had a friend who developed a fungus on her nails because of little air spaces left between the real nail and the acrylic one and she had to get injections into her nail beds for like 6 months to get them fungus free. Her nails are now the ugliest things I've ever seen and she can't do anything about it.
Hire someone 20 bucks to have it done (if you really want to-they're kind of out)

How do I to get gel off my nail extensions?
Hi everyone, i got my gel nails done a week ago. I want to keep my nail extensions but remove the gel (which is just impossible to remove!) any information gratefully appricated. thank you!How do I to get gel off my nail extensions?
Hi,
If they are full gel nails if you dont know if they are was they constantly in and out of a uva lamp throught out the procdure? if so then they will have to be filed off acetone wont touch them, although if gel was only put on at the end and under the uva lamp once its most likey they are acrylic with gel overlays, in which case you can file over the top of the nails so to get the thin layer of gel off then soak them in acetone for i dunno it will take ages as they new set new acrylic it may take an hour or so even more depends on how thick they are. You will need to leave them for at least 20 mins at a time.
Then file off the jelly like substance then back in the acetone if you keep taking them out too much it wil take longer,
If this seems to much hard work go to a salon it shouldnt be too expensive your only having them taken off.

xHow do I to get gel off my nail extensions?
Some of the answers have been pretty good! I would just like to expand on them a bit though.
I'm not really certain what you mean by 'keeping the extensions.'
OK, if you had acrylic nails put on, and then the tech applied a UV gel topcoat over the acrylic, then yes, you can keep the extensions. Do this by simply removing the UV gel topcoat. Buy a good 180 grit nail file, and remove the UV gel topcoat by gently filing it off of the acrylic. Gel files really easily, and it should not take you very long to do this. But, keep a close eye on what you are doing as you may end up filing off some of the acrylic as well. While filing the gel off, keep using a nail brush or something to take the dust off so that you can see how much you have removed. You'll be able to tell when the UV gel is gone, though you will have to look closely because it has a similar look to that of acrylics. But once you have done a few nails, you'll be able to tell all that much easier when all the gel has been removed.
And if you have real gel nails - real meaning that the tech applied ONLY nail gels, and NO liquid and powder, then they cannot be soaked off. They must be filed off. Remember, no liquid and powder is ever used to make gel nails. Only gels are used - never anything else. If the tech used any liquid and powder, you have acrylic nails, even if they applied a UV gel topcoat, and cured them under a UV lamp - they are still acrylic nails. In this case, go to a tech who has a good amount of experience doing this because an unskilled tech will more than likely ruin your nails by filing off much of your natural nails along with the gel.
I hope this helps!

Sorry To Say But You Cant
Go Back To The Nail Salon And Get Them To Do It =]
There is no way to keep the extensions and not the gel.
The best thing to do is get them soaked off at your nail salon and re-done, the only problem there is that it takes AGES and costs quite a bit of money.
No win I'm afraid! I normally pick mine off, your nails will be damaged underneath (because they file them down before applying the extensions) but that would be the case if you had them soaked off too.
Don't worry if your own nails are thin and rough after you take the fakes off, they will grow again and there won't be any permanant damage.
Good luck!!!
if it is infact gel. you have to have it filed off. DO NOT do this by yourself. i did and completely screwed up my nails for like 3 months afterwards.
Go get it done at a place.

How can I remove my nail extensions at Home??
I have had Nail Extensions on for 2 Weeks and the extensions are Acrylic. I am getting sick of them now and I can't play the Piano with them on. People say '; Just cut them Shorter';, but I want them off completely. Also, someone told me that you have to back to the place that put them on for you, but I'd prefer taking them off myself. Please Help. By the way, I've tried soaking them in Warm and Hot Water, and I've also tried soaking them in ACETONE. They just wont budge.How can I remove my nail extensions at Home??
Oh, I know what you mean, but you have to soak them FOREVER in pure acetone. It takes quite awhile and I'd take mine out every now and then and scrap some of the goo off. They get slimy after awhile. It takes a long time.How can I remove my nail extensions at Home??
Cut them as short as you can. Then soak them in finger nail polish remover. Not for just a few minutes though, more like 10 minutes.
At the nail salon that's all they do to get mine off. They cut them short soak them in acetone, file them , soak them, file them, soak them, and finally, there's nothing left
you are just going to have to cut them. and keep cutting them until your nail grows out.
