In the world of beauty and nail care, well-maintained nails are more than just a detail — they’re a symbol of confidence and self-care. But not every natural nail is strong enough to endure daily wear. Especially for clients with weak, brittle, or damaged nails, acrylic offers a durable and reliable solution.
MONLIS Studio in Munich, a trusted name in professional nail and beauty services, explains when acrylic nail strengthening is the best option — and what clients should know before choosing it.
What Is Acrylic Strengthening?
Acrylic strengthening involves applying a paste made from acrylic powder and liquid monomer directly to the natural nail. This material air-dries and does not require curing under a lamp. Thanks to its exceptional strength, acrylic is ideal for clients whose nails undergo significant stress in daily life or who want a long-lasting, sturdy result.
When Is Acrylic Nail Strengthening Recommended?
1. For very brittle or soft nails
If traditional manicures or gels aren't effective, acrylic can offer superior strength and prevent further splitting or breaking.
2. For clients with hands under constant stress
People working with their hands – such as hairdressers, cleaners, or healthcare workers – benefit from acrylic’s durability and resilience.
3. After severe nail damage
Acrylic can help rebuild and protect nails that have been weakened, for example, by improper gel removal, mechanical damage, or medical conditions.
4. For those who prefer long or sculpted nails
Acrylic is perfect for shaping longer nails and complex designs, offering the needed structural support.
5. When maximum durability is required
Compared to gel, acrylic typically lasts longer – making it ideal for vacations, special occasions, or clients with infrequent salon visits.
Advantages of Acrylic at a Glance
Very strong and resistant to daily wear
Long-lasting (3–5 weeks with proper care)
Suitable for any nail shape and length
Less prone to lifting if applied correctly
Versatile for creative or classic designs
Are There Any Drawbacks?
Like any nail system, acrylic has some specific considerations:
The monomer has a strong, recognizable odor during application
It requires skill and technique for consistent, smooth results
Improper application can lead to over-filing or damage to the natural nail plate
