Why Acrylic Nails Get Bulky

WEB Acrylic nails can get bulky very quickly, especially if they are not filed down properly. When acrylic is applied, it is in a liquid form and can easily be shaped. However, once it dries, it becomes hard and can be difficult to file. If the nails are not filed down thin enough, they can start to look bulky and unnatural.

Fixing Thick Acrylic Nails

Thankfully, bulky acrylic nails are not beyond saving. There are a few simple steps you can take to fix them: 1. **File the nails down.** This is the most important step, as it will help to reduce the thickness of the nails and make them look more natural. Use a fine-grit file and file in one direction only. Do not saw back and forth, as this can cause the nails to become weak and break. 2. **Buff the nails.** Once you have filed the nails down, use a buffer to smooth out any rough edges. This will help to give the nails a more polished look. 3. **Apply a top coat.** A top coat will help to protect the nails and prevent them from becoming discolored.
