I think you can refill the same way as acrylics.
I was confused too about whether the acrylic is really acrylic or light-cured gel.
Also I'm sure I read somewhere that the nails are actually made of acrylic rather than plastic too.
I use a system called Inails Express.

It is a pro product - but I don't use it on clients - just on myself - it is very good. Customer service is good - but best to phone them.
I have the system and love it. Just use it on myself - I need more than gel polish - but I'm not qualified in enhancements - just gel polish.
If you go to web site http://www.inailsexpress.co.uk/ and there are contact details - you can email them and Steven Yang will ring you. He was very...
Thanks for replying - I do appreciate your input. I do have faith in her - been going for highlights every 4 weeks for almost 10 years now. Always been nice except for the fact that the ends were becoming frazzled - but that could be over-styling on my part as well as colour through to ends. I...
I returned for a free toner but it still was too light - it doesn't look too bad as it is only really light on the roots - the ends are more of a dark blonde. I'll be returning in 2 weeks for my 4-weekly root retouch. I'm thinking of asking to see the shade charts before she starts - is that an...
Thanks for all your replies. She's normally very good on colours. If it hadn't gone so light it would have been OK I think it would have blended. I hope the toner doesn't fade in the future leaving a yellow stripe around my hair! I just can't understand why she used a hi-lift. Anyway, it's done...
Thanks - yes I have been doing this and the condition is improving - even the new yellow roots are OK. Just want to achieve my long-term goal now to get darker (but lighter than natural shade), then have regular root re-touch so that I don't have colour over and over again on the ends.
Update - My stylist did an all over root retouch but it came out light yellow blonde. My stylist was shocked too and suggested I see how it goes and if I don't like it, she will tone it. I had wanted it light brown/dark blonde with a few highlights at the front (my own hair is light to medium...
Thanks for explaining - I hadn't realised it would be difficult to match the colour. I'll see what she says. I don't want to carry on with highlights as I did query the overlap ages ago and I think she said it was only with the darker one, but she seems to do it with all 3 shades. Am I right...
Thanks for your replies. I firstly have a few high lift blonde highlights, secondly a shade lighter than my natural colour but not hi-lift blonde, third a brown shade. It looks very nice and natural. But all the colours are overlapped each time it is highlighted every 4 weeks.
I thought if I...
ColourGirly and Krystalinx - thanks for your replies.
One of the colours is a light blonde - but my hair dresser doesn't seem to want to tell me what strength it is or what exact shade.
I was thinking myself that the overlapping might be weakening my hair.
I was considering going for an...
Please can you help? I need advice about my hair - which is fine, mousey brown, straight. I have tinted highlights and it is layered - the top layer is frazzled and has been for 2 or 3 years. This is what I do which I think may cause a problem - but don't want to STOP everything as I like the...
Have you thought about hair extensions which hang on a wire - like flip in hair and halo also do them. Instead of clips they hang on a thin wire - that would give your hair a rest and give it chance to recover, then you can try again with the hair extensions.
I tried flip in but struggled to...
Please can you advise me? I have weak, bendy nails and my Shellac tends to chip after around 5 days on 2, 3 or 4 nails. I am going to persist with them though and am using my Solar Oil 2x a day. I get them re-applied every 2 weeks.
I have bought some CND Shellac, base and top coat and have...
