💡 Frequently Asked Questions


What is an acrylic overlay?

An acrylic overlay is a thin layer of acrylic applied directly over your natural nail (no tips or added length). It provides extra strength, smoothness, and support for everyday wear or detailed nail art.


How long do acrylic overlays last?
With proper care, overlays typically last 2–3 weeks before needing a fill. Your lifestyle, nail growth, and maintenance habits can affect timing.


Can I get overlays on short nails?
Yes! Acrylic overlays are a great choice for short nails—they can help protect and encourage growth over time.
