Change the Color of Acrylic Nails During a Fill
Freshen Up Your Nails with a Color Switch
Acrylic nails are a great way to enhance your appearance and express your personal style. However, as your natural nails grow out, you'll need to get a fill to maintain their length and shape. During this process, you may also have the opportunity to change the color of your nails.
Considerations for Color Change
Whether you can change the color of your acrylic nails during a fill depends on several factors, including:
- Base Acrylic Color: Clear acrylic is more easily altered than colored acrylic.
- Second Layer Color: If your second layer (the colored layer) is dark or contains glitter, it may be difficult to change the color.
Process of Changing Nail Color
If you decide to change the color of your acrylic nails, the technician will typically follow these steps:
- Remove the existing nail polish.
- Fill in the gap at the base of your nails with clear acrylic.
- Apply a new layer of acrylic in your desired color.
- Shape and file your nails.
- Apply a topcoat to seal the design.
Benefits of Changing Nail Color During a Fill
Changing the color of your acrylic nails during a fill offers several benefits:
- Convenience: You can update your nail color without having to wait for a new appointment.
- Cost-effectiveness: It's more affordable than getting a completely new set of nails.
- Time-saving: It eliminates the need for a separate appointment for a color change.
Alternatives to Changing Nail Color
If you're unable to change the color of your acrylic nails during a fill, there are other alternatives:
- Nail Polish: You can apply regular nail polish over your acrylic nails for a temporary color change.
- Nail Wraps: Nail wraps are a quick and easy way to add color and designs to your nails.
- Getting a New Set of Nails: If changing the color during a fill is not feasible, you may need to get a new set of nails.
