My Indulgences on Acrylic Nails.....

My indulgence on acrylic nails was influenced by my colleague, Sunnie. She did her nails so nicely that made me so tempted to do arcylic nails too. She is such a bad influence....Wahahaha.

I did my first acrylic nails at my favourite Nail Xpert Salon @ Purvis street . I must say they really did a good job in painting nails and they have wide selection of nail arts for you to choose from. If you really want to consider doing acrylic nails for your wedding occasions. They have quite a bridal nail packages for you to choose..

You can refer to my previous review on this nail salon.


I was totally in love with it despite of the expensive cost involved (usually cost S$100 bucks over depending on the nail designs and colour) and time taken in doing the fake nails. The whole process took me 6 hours to finish doing the acrylic nails. Phew...you must have the patience to do it.

There is two types of Acrylic Nails:-

1) Normal Acrylic Nails using Acrylic White Powder to mix with chemical to form a white paste. That what we usually do for those 3D nail art.

2) Acrylic Gel Nails using the liquid gel to apply on the fake nails and the drying process can take quite long as compared using the acrylic powder.

Of course, Acrylic Gel Nails would be more popular by ladies coz it looks more natural

The process of doing the acrylic nails would require the buffering on the surface of your natural nails and trimming your natural nails short before they can glue the fake nails onto your natural nails. And then mixing the acrylic powder with small portion of liquid chemical to form a white paste...They will use the airbrush and start coating the acrylic paste over the fake nails layer by layer...

This is the first acrylic nails with my normal nail arts that I have done...



The second one is the acrylic gel nails with 3D nail arts...And this is one of my fav acrylic nail design... I totally fall in love with it...
