Acrylic Nails
The Acrylic is the strongest and most popular form of the nail extension, be it with a tip or form. Tips are made of lightweight plastic plates that are "nail"-shaped. They are glued on the end of the natural nail and acrylic is then applied over the entire nail. Forms are fitted over the nail and then an artificial nail is molded out of acrylic. The form is then removed and properly shaped and buffed to a shine.
