Acrylic & extensions
Extensions are where length and shape stop being a compromise. Acrylic is sculpted onto a tip or a form and filed down to whatever silhouette you want — almond, coffin, square, squoval or stiletto. Gel-X is the softer alternative: a pre-shaped soft-gel tip bonded to the nail, lighter on the hand and quicker to apply.
Every Belle Palace salon has artists who sculpt daily, which matters more than the product. A well-applied acrylic set is thin at the cuticle, even across the apex, and does not click when you type.

How the service runs
Choose length and shape before anything is applied
Bring a photo if you have one. Your artist will tell you honestly whether a shape suits your nail bed and how it will hold up with the way you use your hands — a stiletto set and a keyboard job are a hard combination.
Sculpt, then file to the line
Product is built with a proper apex so the nail is strong where it needs to be and thin where it meets the cuticle. Most of the skill is in the filing, not the application.
Finish in gel color or nail art
Extensions are usually finished with gel color. If you want art, chrome or an ombré fade, say so at the start — the design changes how the set is built.
Making it last
Book the fill before you need it
At two to three weeks the regrowth gap starts acting as a lever on the free edge. A fill booked on schedule is cheaper and quicker than a repair after one lifts.
Your nails are tools now — stop using them as tools
Opening cans, scraping labels and popping tabs is what breaks extensions. It also breaks natural nails; the extensions just make the break louder.
Lifting is not something to wait out
A lifted edge lets moisture underneath. Come in and have it rebalanced rather than letting it grow out — that is how the natural nail underneath stays healthy.
Worn out the door
Three quiet steps
Every appointment follows the same unhurried rhythm — so the result is never left to chance.
Consult
Your artist looks at your nails first — length, condition, how you use your hands — then talks through shape and color. Bring a photo, or start from the seasonal wall.
Prepare
Hospital-grade sterilization on every tool, every visit. Single-use files and buffers are opened in front of you, then discarded.
Perfect
Unhurried detail work under proper light — clean cuticle lines, even edges, and a finish checked from every angle before you leave the chair.
Acrylic & extensions questions
The questions guests actually ask at the front desk, answered plainly.
- How often do acrylic nails need a fill?
- Every two to three weeks. After that the regrowth gap at the cuticle starts to act as a lever on the free edge, which is when sets lift or break.
- What is the difference between acrylic and Gel-X?
- Acrylic is sculpted from liquid and powder and filed to shape, so it can be built to any length or silhouette. Gel-X uses a pre-shaped soft-gel tip bonded to the nail — lighter on the hand, more flexible, and faster to apply, but with less freedom over shape.
- Do acrylic nails ruin your natural nails?
- Properly applied and properly removed, no. Damage comes from two things: drilling too aggressively on the natural nail plate, and prying sets off. We soak and file extensions off rather than lifting them.
- Can I bring a picture of the nails I want?
- Please do — most of our guests do. A photo tells your artist more about shape, length and finish in five seconds than a description does in five minutes.
Your chair is ready.
Opening hours vary by branch. Walk-ins depend on availability, and weekends usually fill quickly, so booking ahead keeps the time you want.
