We’ve got exciting news: acrylic nails are now part of the beauty menu at Mijn Wimpers! Whether you’re new to nails or already obsessed with the look of a fresh set, we’re here to make your hands shine — in your own style, at your own pace. But what exactly are acrylic nails, and are they right for you? We’re answering your top questions below to help you feel confident (and excited!) before booking.
What are acrylic Nails, anyway?
Acrylic nails are a combination of liquid monomer and powder polymer that, when mixed and applied to your natural nails, harden into strong, sculpted extensions. They can add length, strength, and a polished look — from clean and natural to bold and creative.
Are acrylic nails safe for my natural nails?
Yes, when applied and removed properly, acrylics are safe. It’s important to care for them well and avoid picking or peeling. And when it’s time to remove them? Come back in — we’ll do it gently and safely to protect your natural nails underneath.
How long do acrylic nails last?
Acrylic nails typically last between 2–3 weeks before needing a fill. Everyone’s nails grow at a different pace, so you might need a touch-up sooner or later. Taking good care of them (like avoiding rough work without gloves) will help them last longer.
Can I choose the length, shape, and color?
Sounds dramatic? Maybe. But if you’re lighting candles, barbecuing, or roasting marshmallows, keep a safe distance. Lashes are delicate and can singe easily — and once they’re burned, there’s no going back. Your natural lashes will thank you, too.
Is this service beginner-friendly?
100%! At Mijn Wimpers, we take time for you — especially if it’s your first set. We’ll guide you through the process, explain each step, and make sure you leave feeling confident and happy with your nails.
How do I care for my acrylic nails?
A few simple habits go a long way:
- Moisturize your cuticles daily
- Wear gloves when cleaning or doing dishes
- Don’t use your nails to open things (we know, it’s tempting!)
- Book a fill every 2–3 weeks to keep them looking fresh
We’ll give you tips after your appointment too — so you feel supported even after you leave the salon.
