In this post, I will be explaining how you can change the colour of your nails when you get them filled.
Changing the colour of your nails
Changing the colour of your nails when you get them filled is easier than you think. When you get your nails filled, they will first be filed down to the basic manicure, meaning you can change your nails’ entire design.
You can change the nails’ shape, take the length down, and change the colour or design. The nail tech will start to fill the nails as usual; if you’ve chosen to change the shape or length, this will be done once the old manicure is removed and the growth gap has been filled. Then the new colour will be applied to the new filled nails.
Something that you’ll need to bear in mind is, making sure you maintain the length of time you’ve had your nails done. If you’ve had your nails on longer than the recommended time before getting infills, you may need to take them off and get a new set done. This is because your manicure will lose strength and can end up breaking off and causing damage to your natural nails.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it cost more to get different coloured nails?
It can cost more to get a different colour, but there is also the possibility that there isn’t any price difference; it depends on many factors.
If you decide to change the colour, the type of colour can change the price. For example, if the new colour you change to is a regular nail polish, then there shouldn’t be any change in price.
However, if you change from regular nail polish to something like shellac or choose designs, it can cost more.
Another factor that may end up costing you more is if you choose multiple colours. A recent nail trend has been getting a different colour on each nail or having a different design on a few nails. This may cost you more as it takes more time, and it uses more products.
Each nail salon is different, and the way they run things may differ. If you want to be certain on the price changes, ask a staff member before getting it done so you can then decide on what you want to go for.
Can I change the colour of my dip nails?
Dip nails are long-lasting, so if you are someone that likes to change up your nails quite regularly, maybe another type of manicure would suit you better.
That being said, it is possible to change the colour of your dip nails. You can either paint over them or change the colour when you get your nails filled.
If you choose to paint over them, you can paint over them with regular nail polish. Use two coats of regular nail polish, add more if needed, and top with a top coat to finish.
I’d only recommend doing this as a temporary as it won’t give the best results. You can use a nail polish remover to take it off, and you still have your manicure underneath.
If you choose to change the colour when you get infills, this is the best way. The nail tech will fill down the top of the nail to remove the colour and fill in the nails in the normal method.
The nails are now ready to be re-done, so the nail tech will start by applying the primer, followed by the base coat. After this, they’ll apply the new dip you have chosen, and you will then have a different colour.
Should I get my nails filled or a new set?
It would depend on the state of your nails; if you take good care of your nails and maintain them properly, your nails can last up to two to three months.
It would be best to get your nails infilled every two to three weeks and aim to get a new set after three months max. This does depend on each individual, as some people’s nails may grow a lot faster than others.
You should aim to give your nails a break after three months, to allow them to rehydrate and strengthen naturally.
Summary
I hope that now you know a bit more about changing your nails when getting infills. You can change the colour of your nails as much as you want, especially with acrylic nails it’s very easy to change your design regularly.
As long as you keep your nails maintained and looked after, your nails can look like a fresh new set each time.
