Alright, let’s talk about overlays. You’ve probably heard the term thrown around in the nail world, but what exactly is an overlay? And more importantly—why should you care?
What’s an Overlay?
An overlay is like that best friend who hypes you up without stealing your spotlight. It’s a layer of product—whether it’s hard gel, builder gel, acrylic, poly gel, dip powder, or even Gel X—applied directly over your natural nails. No extensions, no extra length, just pure, unfiltered you, but stronger. Think of it as a bulletproof vest for your nails.
Who Do We recommend Overlays To?
If you’re trying to grow out your natural nails but keep breaking them doing dishes, cleaning, or—let’s be real—your own bad decisions, this is for you. An overlay adds strength, structure, and just enough durability to keep your nails from snapping every time you so much as look at them the wrong way.
It’s also perfect if you: Want a break from nail extensions, yet aren’t ready to commit to your bare, fragile nails. Love the look of your natural nails, but wish they had the strength of a Marvel superhero. Are tired of chipped polish after two days and want a longer-lasting, low-maintenance solution.
The Benefits Of Overlays Nails (AKA Why You Need This in Your Life)
Strength Without Bulk – Unlike extensions, overlays don’t add crazy length, however, they do add protection, so your nails can actually grow without snapping in protest. Natural, But Better – If you love the look of your own nails, yet wish they were just a little more polished, an overlay gives you that effortlessly clean, glossy finish. Longer-Lasting Manicures – Overlays make your gel polish last longer, meaning fewer trips to the salon and more time living your best life. Healthier Nails Over Time – By reinforcing your natural nails, overlays help them grow out stronger instead of peeling and breaking every other day.
So, Should You Get an Overlay?
I mean… duh. If you want stronger, healthier, longer-lasting nails without the commitment of extensions, this is it. And lucky for you, I happen to know a place that does them really well.
