Yes you can....dont make them thick and make sure the toe nails are not to long.

No apex is needed and a good prep.

You can enhance toe the same as fingers including design,remember to prep extra carfully and make you balls small if its l&p.
Good Luck.

Just make sure you do a good prep. Acrylic toe service is a superb way to boots your profits.Not only can you creat a permanent french look on toes you can also:
Mask discoloured nails, prevent splits, strengthen the natural nail, extend the natural nail, fix broken nails,Also great for when your on holiday and it lasts.HTH.xxx

we do these at work but my problem with them is if the client suffers from ingrown toenails it would be a bit hard to get them out with the acrylic on the nail.

Iam wearing them now too, but I have seen some that were beautiful in GEL!!! and with glitter fades, french, color, etc.... However, I do not know about masking discolor with gel because I have not had enough experience lately. (back when I learned, it was like four hundred steps.... and I thought it was too soft for endurance and strength) Now there seem to be gels that are less problematic and stronger. I am going to play around with different ones to see what I like and then do tons of toes!!!

HI
I've had clients that went from gel to acrylic and back to gel. i also prefer gel. lighter

I think toe enhancements are fabulous and so long lasting. I prefer gel to l&p, though.

Hi! I just most recently did acrylic on a clients toes. They are so fun. These are a little long, but she insisted. I would have made them shorter if she had let me!

Hands_Only · 28-05-08, 09:06 AM

I have just attempted acrylic toes on myself for the first time and i love them.

wah-nails · 04-09-09, 05:56 PM

what tips do you use? or do you use forms? we just had someone in for a toe refill which was fine, but what would we use for a full set to extend?
