Deformations can occur on the nails of hands and feet due to various reasons. These deformations can negatively affect both the aesthetic appearance and daily life. Artificial nails, also known as prosthetic nails, are developed as a nail application to provide a solution for nail deformations. Prosthetic nails can be used for reshaping or recreating the nails.

​

Prosthetic nails are made from gel or acrylic materials and applied to the nail surface. They are used to restore the original shape and length of the nails. This application resolves issues such as cracks, fractures, protrusions, or other deformations on the nail surface. Prosthetic nail models are available in various materials, colors, and sizes. A nail specialist will choose the most suitable prosthetic nail model based on the client's needs and preferences. Prosthetic nail models are divided into gel prosthetic nails and acrylic prosthetic nails.

​

Gel prosthetic nails resemble natural nails more closely. These nails are flexible, lightweight, and durable. Gel prosthetic nails harden under UV light after being applied to the nail, providing an extremely natural look. Additionally, gel prosthetic nails can be easily removed without causing damage to the nail.

Acrylic prosthetic nails are harder and more durable. These nails are created by applying a mixture of acrylic powder and liquid to the nail. Acrylic prosthetic nails dry faster and are easier to apply compared to gel prosthetic nails. Additionally, acrylic prosthetic nails offer more options in terms of colors and sizes.

​

The prices of prosthetic nails can vary depending on the location where the application is done, the selected prosthetic nail model, and other factors. Generally, gel prosthetic nails are more expensive than acrylic prosthetic nails.

​

The application of prosthetic nails should be done by an experienced nail specialist. During the application, the nail specialist will perform the procedure according to the condition of the nail and the client's preferences. The application can be done without experiencing any pain or discomfort on the nail.

Prosthetic nails can be used in your daily life just like natural nails. However, avoiding prolonged contact with water and exposure to strong chemicals increases the durability of prosthetic nails. Prosthetic nails can be included in your nail care routine, and regular maintenance is recommended for the health of natural nails.

​

In conclusion, prosthetic nails offer a solution for nail deformations and nail-biting habits. Prosthetic nails can appear like natural nails and be used in daily life just like normal nails. The prices of prosthetic nails can vary depending on the selected prosthetic nail model and the location where the application is done. The application should be done by an experienced nail specialist, and with regular maintenance, they can have a long lifespan.
