What is Prosthetic Nail?
Nails that break quickly are an application that can be done for treatment purposes as well as being preferred for beauty and care for women who want to look well-groomed, or even for men or women who have a habit of biting their nails.
Prosthetic Nail; It eliminates the problem of nail polish that is deformed and needs to be renewed constantly, and offers the convenience of a bright, well-groomed appearance for 21 days. It allows you to extend your nail length in an average of 2 hours, decorate it with any shape, color or even nail art you want and use it for an average of 21 days without any damage. When we think of prosthetic nails, we immediately imagine very long, exaggerated nails, but prosthetic nails are a nail extension process that can be made in the desired size and shape. While sometimes they can be so natural that they cannot be distinguished from our natural nails, unlimited nail art and designs can be applied in maxi lengths upon request, this completely varies according to your request. Prosthetic nails are x4 times harder and harder to break than natural nails, so they are highly preferred. Prosthetic Nail applications may vary in terms of materials and techniques used. In terms of material, it is divided into 3 materials specially produced for nails.
Gel Acrylic Polly Jelly / Acryl & Jelly
All materials are available in various color ranges. Prosthetic Nail; In terms of application technique, it is divided into TEMPLATE and TYPE techniques. Although we have seen that it can be applied with many different side materials lately, the main thing is to ensure that it is extended by adding it to the tip of the nail or by making a mold support under it. One of the questions we receive most is “which of the materials used is more durable and better?” In fact, the durability of all materials should be measured according to the product quality and application technique used, because there is now a wide variety of quality products in the industry. If we consider the materials one by one, the most common and most preferred type of material is the nail gel material due to its shine, odorlessness and flexible structure. Gel applications, which are more popular in our country, are now also called “gel prosthesis” or “gel nail”. We can say that next comes the nail acrylic material. Of course, this order may vary depending on the preference of the specialist or salon, and sometimes it may even differ according to countries and regions. Nail acrylic material is the oldest type of material that has survived since the first invention of this application by a dentist. It has a powder-like structure and solidifies and takes shape with an acrylic liquid, and its much mentioned disturbing smell is actually caused by acrylic liquid. We may sometimes encounter that this application, whose general name is prosthetic nails, is referred to as “Acrylic nails” with the material names. Polly gel, also known as Acryl-Gel, which is an alternative to acrylic material, which is defined as a new and easy material that has been trending recently, has now taken its place among the material types. Some of the questions we encounter most and the applications that are difficult to distinguish are; Considering that prosthetic nails and gel prosthesis are different, “No, prosthetic nails and gel nails are the same process.” Sometimes we may encounter confusion between prosthetic nails and permanent nail polish, and sometimes the two applications may be thought to be the same. “No, prosthetic nails and permanent nail polish are different procedures.” In the easiest way we can understand; If you want to lengthen your nails or change their shape, “prosthetic nails”, or “permanent nail polish”, also known as “gel nail polish”, should be preferred if we want our natural nails to look colorful, bright and well-groomed for +21 days at their current length. Another issue is that it is thought that permanent nail polish and gel nail polish are different. “No, permanent nail polish and gel nail polish are the same process. “We would like to point out a very small point here. There is confusion due to the fact that some experts apply colored gels under the name of gel nail polish. However, the “gel” material is a material we use in the construction of prosthetic nails and has a denser structure than permanent nail polishes. We also include this application as “gel coating on natural nails” in our service list and it is a suitable application for those who are generally satisfied with the natural nail length but prefer a thicker and harder nail care than permanent nail polish, but the contents and structures of gel and permanent nail polish are also different from natural nails. The extraction processes are not the same either. While the application of prosthetic nails requires serious manual labor and takes an average of 2 hours, the application of permanent nail polish takes an average of 40 minutes since it is applied to your own nail and no extensions are made. Of course, the application techniques of permanent nail polishes have also improved greatly recently, with a dry and special manicure device called micro manicure. When this is applied in combination with manicure and nail strengthening process, a much more detailed permanent nail polish application results. You can request a nail strengthening application from our salons for these new applications that make the nail size longer and fuller and at the same time protect your nails twice as much. Nail strengthening applications protect your nail with the rubber structure of the material used and also camouflage any deformation in your nail.
Prosthetic Nail Prices
There are many options in prosthetic nail applications. First in line with the lowest price is the natural color gel prosthetic nail. It is a nude colored gel that is close to the natural nail color. If you want to use natural prosthetic nails, you can apply the normal nail polish you want on it and remove it with acetone. This option is ideal for either the ones preferred by our customers who love our nude colors or for those who do not want to use permanent nail polish and want to use normal nail polish in the color they want. Natural prosthetic nails are in second place in terms of price, followed by prosthetic nails with permanent nail polish. In this option, you can choose one of our more than 200 color alternatives over the gel prosthetic nail. Permanent nail polish, also known as gel nail polish, remains the same shine on your nail as long as you use the gel prosthetic nail. Afterwards, the prices change. Prices for specially designed nail decorations and Nailarts that you will add to your nails vary depending on the procedures you will have done. Since our nails continue to grow with the application of prosthetic nails, they require periodic maintenance every 3-4 weeks. These maintenance fees are more affordable than the prosthetic nail or gel nail applications made from scratch, the maintenance application is a kind of renewal process. As your nails grow, a gap forms between the prosthetic and natural nails, so these gaps are filled and the deformed nails are corrected. Although a short application comes to mind when we say care, we actually clean your nails as if it were an application from scratch and perform detailed prosthetic nail care procedures.
Prosthetic Nail Types
Acrylic Nail
Acrylic nails are one of the oldest prosthetic nail materials. The type of prosthesis made by combining acrylic powder with acrylic liquid is generally preferred by Far Eastern experts. Although we do not prefer it much because it contains a slightly disturbing odor, acrylic nails are made in our salons. Today’s more modernized version of acrylic is smart acrylic.
Dipping Nail
It is a more simply applied type of acrylic material. Acrylic powder and nail glue are mainly used and are generally preferred for amateur applications such as express prosthetic nails or amateur applications.
Gel Nail
The most preferred material type in our salons is gel. We mostly apply gel due to its bright appearance, odor-free, color alternatives and durability. These are applications performed by shaping the gel material specially produced for prosthetic nail application on the nail.
Smart Acrylic
In fact, this product, which contains both gel and acrylic, has many positive properties of both materials. This product, which we introduced at the 2018 beauty fair, has many different application options that have been developed and are still being developed. Smart acrylic applications are one of the services that we will definitely include in our salons next season, with different alternative application techniques. In short, prosthetic nails are an application that makes life easier for both busy working women and women who are constantly busy with housework and cannot adequately care for their nails.
Does Prosthetic Nails Harm Natural Nails?
What is important in the Prosthetic Nail application are the stages in which the natural nail is in contact, that is, the preparation phase and the removal phase are important. In the preparation phase, the natural nail needs to be degreased and in this purification process, excessive filing or not choosing the appropriate nail file will damage the natural nail. Likewise, the removal process is done with a file, but this filing must be done on the prosthetic nail, and the file or heads differ as it gets closer to the natural nail. If it is applied to the natural nail with an electronic file or some heads that are not suitable for natural nails, it will still damage the nail. In summary, it is important that the specialist performing the application is sufficiently knowledgeable and professional. If the preparation and removal process is done correctly, prosthetic nails or permanent nail polish will not damage the natural nail.
How Long Should Prosthetic Nails Be Used?

Long dentures should not be preferred, especially in cases of deep eating problems where there is no natural nail to which the prosthetic nail can be attached. In the first sessions, short applications should be preferred until the natural nails return to normal, and it would be better to perform applications for cosmetic and appearance purposes after the nail bed and form have improved. We explain the application and its processes with a cause-effect relationship and prepare a program for all our customers who have nail biting problems, because sometimes, especially in the first sessions, people with nail biting problems may need to be cared for in a shorter time than normal prosthetic nail applications.
