When arriving at the nail salon, the choices seem endless, but not all options are created equal when it comes to the health of your nails. The following alternatives offer durability and strength and are much healthier than dip and acrylic due to the toxins that are in those products.
PURE GEL MANI
Gel nails have become incredibly popular for their durability, glossy finish and no dry time. Unlike acrylic nails that use liquid monomer and polymer powder, gel nails cure under UV or LED light for 30-60 seconds.
One of the main reasons gel nails are considered a healthier option is their flexibility. The gel formula allows the nails to bend and move more naturally, reducing the risk of breakage and chipping.
This type of nail service is ideal for those who would like adding more strength to their nails. The added strength is also helpful for those who want to grow out their natural nails with the assistance of the thicker gel. This gel is thicker and more durable than regular gel, offering a protective layer that can withstand your daily activities.
The application process for a PURE SCULPT MANI involves building layers of gel to create more strength. The curing process, typically done under UV or LED light, results in a solid and resilient finish.
PURE GEL-X
PURE GEL-X combines the benefits of gel and soft gel caps that cover your natural nails. This service uses premade gel tips that are adhered to the natural nail using gel. The application process eliminates the need for any harsh glues or chemicals, contributing to a healthier and less damaging experience.
One of the most attractive advantages of Gel-X nails is their lightweight feel and customization. The flexibility of the gel caps ensure a comfortable fit that matches the nail curve of your nail. The soft gel caps come in many different shapes and lengths, offering instant gratification with each visit! If you like to experiment with different shapes and lengths or would like to add length to your nails for a special occasion, this service would be perfect!
Why Are These Healthier Alternatives?
Minimal Damage During Application
Unlike acrylic or dip that often involve rough filing, these options prioritize the health of the natural nail during application. The absence of strong chemicals and aggressive techniques reduces the risk of damaging and dehydrating your nails.
Non-Toxic Formulations
Gel nail products are typically formulated with non-toxic ingredients, minimizing the exposure to harmful chemicals commonly found in some acrylic or dip systems. At PURE NAILS, we use a non-toxic gel product line that makes these services a safer option for both you and our nail technicians!
Gentle Removal Process
At PURE NAILS, we will use an e-file to remove the previous products on your nails because this technique is the safest way to remove product without damaging your natural nail bed. This gentle removal process ensures that the natural nail remains intact, promoting overall nail health and minimizing the risk of damage.
Natural Look and Feel
These nail services provide a more natural look and feel but with added strength. The flexibility and lightweight nature of the products contribute to a comfortable and authentic experience.
It’s essential to prioritize health and choose options that enhance rather than compromise the integrity of our natural nails. These services are healthier alternatives, offering durability, aesthetics, and a gentler application and removal process. Making the switch and embracing these healthier alternatives can set the stage for the endless possibilities for your nails!

Choose soak-off gel nails instead of acrylic nails.
While gel nails can cause nail brittleness, peeling, and cracking, they're more flexible than acrylic nails. This means your own nails are less likely to crack. You'll want to ask for gel nails that soak off rather than ones that must be filed off.
Unlike traditional techniques like acrylic or gel, dip powder nails do not require any UV light exposure. This eliminates the potential harm caused by UV lights, making dip powder a healthier choice. Moreover, dip powder nails are known to be highly resistant to chipping and peeling, ensuring longer-lasting manicures.
The au naturel manicure is great for the person that wants to just wear their own nails (it's also called a classic manicure for a reason). This treatment includes cutting and filing your nails to your desired shape and length, cuticle grooming, a hand massage, and regular nail polish.
Overall, Dip Powder Manicures are a great way to get a healthy manicure that will protect and strengthen your nails without causing any damage. Just like any nail treatment, you do have to make sure you properly remove it to keep your nails safe and healthy – Don't pick at your manicure!
Individuals with oily nail beds or chip-prone nails, for example, may have trouble getting a gel manicure to last for more than two weeks. If that describes you, dip powder nails are the superior option because they're built up in layers, which enhances nail strength and creates a barrier against chipping.
Gel polish is more durable than its traditional counterpart, making it low maintenance and easy to care for. The debate between gel nails vs. acrylic nails is a common one within the beauty industry. While both styles have their benefits, the gel option is healthier for your natural nails.
Appearance. Acrylic nails have a more artificial look than gel nails and are often thicker and more opaque. On the other hand, gel nails have a more natural appearance; they are shiny and have a glossy finish.
Polygel nails are a cross between acrylic and gel nails. Polygel nails are durable, long-lasting, and yet still flexible. They can cause less damage to the natural nail than other gel manicures.
Nail polish, in moderation, isn't necessarily bad for your nails. Nails don't need to “breathe,” per se, because they get their nutrients from your blood. But it's still not great to wear nail polish all the time.
Shellac. Shellac is comprised of an acrylic base that's undergone a chemical reaction after being cured with a UV lamp (in other words, it's something of a gel-and-regular-polish hybrid. Shellac offers a high-gloss finish, and it protects your nails (and maintains your manicure) for up to two weeks.
A basic manicure, with the right polishes, is the healthiest for your nails. When we say the 'right polishes' we mean the best nail growth polish or breathable nail polish. The harsh chemicals in many polishes often degrade our nails. Using an organic polish that contains vitamins, is the best way to avoid damage.
Dip powder nails are healthier than acrylics in basically every way imaginable. They're among the safest nail enhancements you can get, and you're not sacrificing any quality at all. We pride ourselves on being a health-conscious nail salon – and our clients love the dip powder treatment.
To trim your fingernails, cut almost straight across the nail. To reduce your chances of getting an ingrown toenail, cut straight across when trimming your toenails. Smooth uneven or rough edges using a nail file or emery board. Leave your cuticles alone.
round nails are the most natural and easiest to wear of all of the nail shapes. they're easy to shape, low maintenance and, because they're entirely curved, they have no sharp edges or corners to snag on clothing or surfaces.
