Professional Acrylic Nails in Spring and The Woodlands, TX
Acrylic nails are one of the most durable and versatile nail enhancement options available. Created by combining a liquid monomer and powder polymer, acrylics harden into a strong, rigid overlay or extension that can be shaped, filed, and painted to any specification. Acrylic nails are ideal for clients who want maximum durability, significant length, or a long-lasting canvas for nail art.
At Polished by Kim, acrylic nails are applied with precision and care. Kim customizes every set to the client's desired shape, length, and finish — from short and natural-looking to long and dramatic. Every set includes cuticle care, nail prep, and shaping. Nail art is available as an add-on at additional cost.

Acrylic Nail Questions
How long do acrylic nails last?
Acrylic nails typically need a fill every 2 to 3 weeks as the natural nail grows. With regular fills, a full set can last many months before needing to be removed and reapplied. Proper aftercare — including daily cuticle oil and wearing gloves for cleaning — significantly extends the life of your acrylics.
Do acrylic nails damage natural nails?
When applied and removed correctly by a trained technician, acrylic nails should not cause significant damage to the natural nail. Kim follows proper prep and removal protocols to protect nail health. Improper removal — such as peeling or forcibly lifting the acrylic — is the most common cause of nail damage.
Can I get nail art on acrylic nails?
Yes — acrylic nails provide an excellent canvas for gel polish, hand-painted nail art, chrome effects, and embellishments. Many clients combine a full acrylic set with custom nail art for a durable, beautiful result that lasts 3 to 4 weeks.
What shapes are available for acrylic nails?
Available shapes include square, round, oval, almond, coffin (ballerina), stiletto, and squoval. Kim will recommend the shape that best suits your natural nail bed, finger shape, and lifestyle. Custom shapes are also available on request.
