Ways to keep your enhancements lasting long and how to cope with longer nails. Cheyenne's FAQ SectionSculpted NailsUV Gel Acrylic Nails Solar Nails Nail Mold Fungus The Truth about Nail Drills Sculpted NailsSculpted nails are created by placing a "Nail Form" under the tip of the natural nail. The length and shape of the nail enhancement is created by sculpting over the nail form. "Nail tips" are not used during this process. "Nail Tips" are glued to your natural nail to create length and then applying a nail product over the top. See sculpted nails by Cheyenne here.UV GELUV Gel Nails combine natural beauty with strength and durability. They are beautiful lightweight enhancements that are odorless, natural feeling, thin, flexible, non-yellowing, nonporous, resist lifting and are crystal clear."UV Gels" can be used for nail overlays that look extremely natural looking, tip overlays, and sculpted. UV Gels are an incredibly natural looking enhancement without the odor or airborne dust of a traditional acrylic. UV Gel Nails feel remarkably natural and are less damaging to the natural nail. UV Gels when applied properly will not lift or crack; they simply are as durable as any acrylic. Most UV Gels are acid-free and gentle to your skin. Do not confuse gel with traditional acrylic, even though they are similar, they apply and wear differently. UV Gels are pre-mixed monomers that are hardened/cured to polymers by UV light. A gel top-coat applied over an acrylic nail to seal the surface does not make your nails "Gel Nails". Gel nails are actually acrylic nails; they are made from the same class of acrylates, but with different molecular structures, appearance, application procedures and different curing methods. Be certain you are receiving the nail enhancement you requested. SOLAR NAILSPink and white acrylic nails are often referred to as "Solar Nails".

When applied properly they won't lift or crack; they combine strength and durability. Acrylic is a liquid & powder mixed, applied with a brush that will harden (cure) with no UV lamps in 2 minutes or less. The term acrylic is a shortened version of methacrylate, a combination of a monomer liquid with a polymer powder. The polymer powder found in the nail enhancement is polyethylmethylmethacrylate, or PMMA. This chemical is what gives the nails its strength and durability. The chemical units of the monomer liquid react when mixed with the chemicals in the polymer powder to form long fibers that dry and harden to resemble a natural fingernail.
