Shellac vs Acrylic Nails: Ultimate Guide
What is Shellac?
Shellac is a type of nail polish that is applied like regular nail polish, but cured under a UV lamp. It is a hybrid of gel and traditional nail polish, offering the durability of gel with the ease of removal of traditional polish.
What is Acrylic?
Acrylic nails are created by combining a liquid monomer with a powder polymer to form a paste that is applied to the natural nails. This paste hardens to form an artificial nail that is strong and durable.
Can I Use Shellac on Acrylic Nails?
Yes, you can apply shellac over acrylic nails just like you would apply regular nail polish. However, there is no need to soak off the shellac when you want to remove it. You can simply file off the shellac and then remove it with nail polish remover.
