Women who are fond of artificial nails may be surprised to discover that solar nails are able to offer them better benefits. Having beautiful nails is always an important aspect of physical beauty. However, most of them nowadays are still stuck with the acrylic or gel types. Contrary to this, solar nails actually have several benefits which may not be easy to achieve with the common artificial types. This article will explain further how the solar variety of artificial nails is actually way better.
Solar Nail Refill
First and foremost, what gives the solar nail its clear advantage is the refill feature. With acrylic nails, it is necessary for you to replace the nails in an interval of two weeks. In the case of the solar nails, moreover, you merely need to refill them for a longer span of after three weeks. This means that you are able to experience better convenience and gain greater savings when compared to using the other varieties of artificial nails.
No Worries When Tanning
With solar nails, you don’t face the worry of damaging your nails during regular tanning sessions. This is a clear advantage since people with artificial nails normally dread going to tanning parlors, as their nails are prone to turning yellow when tanning on a regular basis. Thus, if you are someone who loves to have that golden glow and at the same time maintain the beauty of your nails, solar nails are the way to go.
Strength
Achieving stronger and longer lasting nails is another benefit that you’ll be getting with a solar nail. When it comes to wearing regular artificial nails, caution is always a requirement, since the slightest pressure could cause your nails to break or to disfigure. With the solar type, your nails will be tougher and more resilient to pressure. This is because solar nails are created using sturdy and top quality materials for added and long lasting strength. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about your nails splitting into parts, even when you merely have to dedicate a short time in applying the solar nails.
Not the Extension Variety
Unlike the common artificial types of nails, solar nails are not extensions. This is another benefit inherent in the solar types. With common acrylic nails, it is a standard to add extensions to your natural nails, exposing them to potential damage, especially if used for an extended period. Solar nails on the other hand are certainly not extensions, so your beautiful nails maintain their luster.
Polished Look
Everyone loves looking at shiny and well polished nails. Not only do beautiful nails look neat, they are also a real asset. When you use the acrylic nails, you will most likely use a certain nail polish in order to give your nails a radiant look. However, you can’t expect this shine to last for long, since it will fade eventually after a specific period. When you use a solar nail, you will have that well-polished look that is bound to last longer. This is because solar nails are glossed to begin with, so what you get are nails that shine and attract attention wherever you are.

Solar Nails ARE acrylic nails, there is no difference. The name “solar nails” came from a specific brand name, but has been generalized by the NSS (discount non standard salons) community to describe all pink and white acrylic nails. They like to tell you that “solar nails” are a revolutionary new product, but this is just a way to get you to pay more for the same old product. I am a licensed nail technician and my advice is not to buy into this scam!

I have developed what I think is a fungus infection after having solar nails for about one year. I developed red soreness just below the cuticles on every nail and my thumbnails started pulling away from the nail beds. I had to take them off and my nails are a mess and it will take months for them to look presentable again. The tips of my fingers keep cracking open like paper cuts and hurt much worse. Has anyone had the same problem and how did you get rid of it.

If Solar Nails are the same as Acrylic - I think that’s BULL. I’ve had Acrylic and Gel nails for over 5 yrs now. The Solar ones shine and are thin. They are almost the same as acrylic - but they don’t have dental bonding in them. They are a slightly different make. I can tell, they are lighter and much much thinner and Honestly - Acrylic does go yellow - the Solar doesn’t go yellow. Proof is in wearing them.
Gloria with your nails that are all wrecked in 3 months they should be good. Just take care of them cuticle oil, and keep cutting them till they get strong again. Soon you’ll find yourself getting these Solar ones they are great !

I love my solar nails. I have gotten my nails done for years and I finally tried solar nails. I used to have the problem with my nails coming off, but with solar nails, I rarely have a nail come off. They stay on very well and they are very strong too. Perfect for the woman who is constantly on the go.

I believe that there is a Huge difference in Solar nails compared to the regular acrylic nails. I think Brittany above needs to go back to beauty school according to her comment. I have had bad experience with regular acrylic nails. Splitting, yellowing etc, etc. I finally came back around and just got my nails done Tuesday and got the solar. Already I love them and feel better. I tan on a regular basis and sont see any yellowing at all so far. Thanks!

i know that there is a difference in solars because you can get different colored tips for solars. another thing is that acrylic nails yellow quickly in chlorinated water and solars do not. i work in a pool teaching swim lessons. also the solars are stonger, throwing discus is a strain on the nails and my nails are still going strong.

I am a 55 year old woman, and have been getting solar nails for over a year now (and I have to say, that’s not too often). I have never been one to get manicures and paint my fingernails, but when I discovered solar nails, it was a wonderful discovery. I am very rough on my hands, but my solar nails are so durable–no nailbed infections, no chipping, no yellowing. Solar nails are my gift to myself when needed. I’ll tell you something else…get a deluxe pedicure at the same time you get your solar nails–it makes even someone like me feel so much better, and it is always heavenly.

I just got my first solar nails and I love, love them. They are the best! I will never go back to regular arcrylic, what a big difference.

Just had solar put on, as my nails were very weak and splitting. The solar looks fantastic, without any polish! For foodservice workers, the solar pink and white nail is the lesser of evils when it comes to artificial nail materials because you don’t need polish. They are very strong too. I have worn acrylic in the past, and disliked it.
