In 1954 acrylic nail extensions were designed by a dentist named Frederick Slack who broke a fingernail at work and created an artificial temporary nail replacement using dental acrylic. Since then, acrylic nails have progressed into what is worn by many people today as a beauty and fashion statement.

Acrylic nail extensions are made from a monomer liquid mixed with a polymer powder to form a paste. The acrylic paste is applied to the natural nail along with a tip to allow long lasting nails at the clients chosen length.
