Hairdressers nails

[angel87]

Hi,
I have been having acrylics for almost a year now but am wondering what other options I have.
I'm a hairdresser so my hands are in water a lot so I find it doesn't really affect my nails, acrylic seems pretty strong and hard wearing.
The only problem I have is the varnish chipping from my tips, not awful but looks a bit scruffy.
Any other options as to what I could have or is acrylic still decent?

Does your nail tech use coloured acrylic? I use nsi colours & they give the same effect as polish just in acrylic form

Shellac on top of acrylic? I use vinylux polish and never get chipping on top of acrylics as the top coat is so hard wearing

Thanks, will have to ask what they have, I only see acrylic and gel stuff there.
