If you’re looking for something other than acrylic to decorate your nails, you’re in luck. There are plenty of options available that won’t irritate your skin. From nail wraps and stickers to gels and polishes, we’ll show you how to achieve salon-worthy manicures without the use of acrylic.
Gel Nails
For those with an allergy to acrylic, gel nails can be an excellent alternative. Gel nails are a form of acrylic, but the formula is more flexible and less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
There are many hypoallergenic gel nail products on the market such as PRIMA Gel Polish, Ovation Polymer Sculpting Gel, Evolution Soak-Off Sculpting Gel, Ultimate 3-Phase Sculpting Gel, Hypnos Soak-Off Colour Gel, One 1-Phase Sculpting Gel, and Opium 3-Phase Sculpting Gel.
To reduce the risk of allergies, we recommend using S-PRO Nitrile Gloves when applying any type of nail product.
Dip Powder Nails
If you’re looking for a longer-lasting alternative to gel nails, you may want to try dip powder nails. This type of manicure uses a special powder that is applied to the nails and can last up to five weeks. It is also a form of acrylic, so it is not suitable if you are allergic to acrylic.
However, if you are looking for an alternative to acrylic that is longer-lasting than gels or wraps, this may be the right choice for you.
Fibreglass Nails
If you are looking for a more durable alternative to acrylic nails, then fibreglass nails could be a great option. Fibreglass nails are made from a thin layer of fiberglass material that is applied over the natural nail.
This creates a strong, durable base that can be both strengthened and decorated with gel polish or acrylic paint. Fibreglass nails are also hypoallergenic, so anyone with an allergy to acrylic will be able to wear them without worrying about experiencing any irritation.
Acrylic Nail Alternatives
If you’re looking for a more permanent solution for your nails, there are plenty of acrylic nail alternatives available. Many of these are hypoallergenic and help reduce the risk of developing an allergy.
For example, there are several brands offering hypoallergenic gel polishes, such as Prima Gel Polish, Ovation Polymer Sculpting Gel, Evolution Soak-Off Sculpting Gel, Ultimate 3-Phase Sculpting Gel, Hypnos Soak-Off Colour Gel and One 1-Phase Sculpting Gel.
Additionally, you could opt for Polytek Polymer Sculpting Gel as another option. If you’re concerned about sensitivity to latex, we recommend S-PRO Nitrile Gloves as a great alternative for both nail technicians and clients.
Nail Wraps and Stickers
If you’re allergic to acrylic, nail wraps and stickers may be a great alternative. They are a great way to create a unique design on your nails without the use of any chemicals. You can find nail wraps in a variety of styles, colors, and patterns, so you can create the perfect look for any occasion.
Nail wraps are also easy to apply and remove and they don’t require any special tools or techniques. If you’re looking for a more natural look, there are also many brands of nail stickers that can be applied directly to your nails without the use of any chemicals.
Sculpted Nail Extensions
If you’re looking for a more natural-looking alternative to acrylic nails, you may want to consider sculpted nail extensions. These extensions are made of a light and flexible material, so they don’t put extra weight on the nail.
The material is also hypoallergenic, so it won’t cause a reaction if you have an acrylic allergy. With these extensions, you can get a beautiful, natural-looking manicure that won’t irritate your skin.
Press-on Nails
If you’re looking for a non-permanent way to get beautiful nails and are allergic to acrylic, press-on nails are a great option. These nails are easy to apply and remove, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They also don’t require any glue or adhesive, so they’re a great way to achieve beautiful nails without any risk of an allergic reaction.
Gel Polish Over Natural Nails
If you’re allergic to acrylic but still want to have a beautiful manicure, gel polish over natural nails is an excellent solution. Gel polish is a type of polish that is cured with a UV or LED light and can last up to two weeks. It is also much easier to remove than acrylic nails and won’t damage your natural nails.
To ensure your manicure is hypoallergenic and free from any chemical irritants, make sure you use a hypoallergenic gel polish like PRIMA Gel Polish. This product is specifically designed to reduce the risk of allergy, giving you a beautiful and safe manicure.
Porcelain Nails
If you’re looking for a luxurious alternative to acrylic nails, then porcelain nails are worth considering. Porcelain nails are made from a mix of powder and liquid, which is then applied over your natural nail. The result is a stunningly smooth and shiny finish that can last up to two weeks.
Porcelain nails are also incredibly lightweight and flexible, making them a great option for anyone who wants to avoid the heavy feeling of acrylics. However, porcelain nails require regular maintenance, as they can chip or break easily.
Natural Manicures
If you are looking for a more natural solution to your nail woes, try a natural manicure. Natural manicures are an excellent way to keep your nails looking great without having to use any harsh chemicals or artificial products.
Natural products like coconut oil, jojoba oil, and shea butter can be used to keep your nails hydrated, strengthen them, and even help promote growth. In addition, many natural manicures also contain essential oils, which can help soothe and protect your nails from further damage.
Natural manicures are a great option for those looking for a natural way to keep their nails looking beautiful without the use of harsh chemicals or artificial products.
