Nail Care & Manicures - Use of sunbeds turns my acrylic nails yellow!


Expert: amber Edwards - 6/17/2009

Question
I use sunbeds a few times a week and have found that the UV lights are turning my acrylic nails a yellow colour. I have white tips. Is there a way that I can get them back looking white, without having to make a trip to my nail technician every few days?

Answer
Hi Emma,

Unfortunately acrylics and the sealers they apply to them yellow.
I can suggest you investigate Gel Nails My clients Tan and vacation, clean, cook whatever and there nails always look like a perfect french,
Other than the outgrowth.I switch all my new clients to Gel.They have all said they would never go back to acrylic.
3-4 week fills
no odor
no vapor
no yellowing

Check out these few on line :

BioSculpt
En Vouge



If you stick with acrylics allot of tanning places sell these nail covers for when you tan.Ask the tanning salon for more info.
