Many fun and innovative designs can be found in the wonderful world of acrylic nails. Although acrylics are commonly associated with extra-long looks, they actually allow you to experiment with various stunning lengths and styles, whether you want a short, square French manicure or a set of long, neon pink stiletto nails. The possibilities seem almost limitless (and sometimes overwhelming).

Since these manicures are long-lasting, you should choose a design that you like. Acrylics are longer lasting than gel, according to nail artist Brittney Boyce. They are made by combining a powder (polymer) and a liquid (monomer) to form a dough-like consistency that can be filed and molded. A talented manicurist will be able to create anything your imagination conjures up.
