    Default Acrylic Nails

    I have white permanent tips with regular, clear acrylic. They're growing out, and i want my nails cut, but that means that the white will be cut off. How do they fill in more white when you have permanent white tips, and how do you tell them you want that specific kind of fill-in (as opposed to a pink and white one or one where they just add clear acrylic to the bottom of your nails)?

    At my nail salon they use one of those sander machines to take off the white powder on the tip, then cut my nails and re-apply the powder.

    If you have a white tip, when it grows out, they will just end up airbrushing the tip white for a French Manicure if that is what you want.

    I personally like a white tip when I get acrylics done too, that way I can also measure my nail growth progress easier.

    Wow, I had this exact same question in my mind for awhile now.... I was like, "There MUST be a way to keep the white on the nails, without just polish". I forgot about the white powder they have! THey can also paint it white or airbrush it and then they put some kind of clear strong coat on top (forget what it's called) to protect it from chipping. I used to get them done a long time ago, just forgot. Thanks for asking this.

    ^ Glad I could be of some help while asking for help!

    So, if I want a "permanent white tip fill-in," I should just basically ask for a "pink and white fill-in," right?

    Yeah it can either be airbrushed or they can sand down the tip part and refill it in with white powder. a white backfill you want.
