Dipping powder/ SNS overlays

Is SNS better for my nails than gel or acrylic? There is very little evidence that SNS is any better or worse for your nails than gel polish, hard gel or acrylic. What causes damage to your natural nails is not the product itself, but the application and removal process. This is why your technician will advise you not to pick at or peel off your gel or acrylic. Dip systems often claim to have vitamins and nutrients that help your nails grow longer and stronger. It is important to remember, however, that the only living part of your nail is under your skin. Technicians often like to remind our clients that the only proven way of maintaining the strength of our nails is through regular use of nourishing cuticle oils and creams.

SNS provides a bit of extra strength and length to your nails, whilst maintaining a lightweight feel. It is much thinner than acrylic but thicker than gel polish. It’s a great way of getting a bit of extra strength in your nails, whilst maintaining a more “natural-looking” finish.

We hope we were able to answer all your SNS questions! It’s always a great idea to thoroughly research a service before you get it done so that you are aware of the risks or possible problems beforehand. Most importantly, though, remember to have fun with your nails! They’re an expression of you – from a classic French to nail art and beyond.
