Can you fill in pink and white nails?

Some techs like to drag the pink acrylic over the entire nail, lightly covering the white acrylic. While the pink-and-white backfill is more work than a regular fill, the extra time it takes to prep the nail pays off at the end of the service.

How often should you get pink and white nails filled?

Fills are needed to maintain pink and whites at least every other week, depending on how fast the nails grow. Acrylic powder is brushed onto the area of new growth, 'filling' the space between the nail bed and the original acrylic, producing a smooth appearance.

Is it better to get a fill or new nails?

We recommend that you get a fill once there is a visible gap between your cuticle and your existing acrylic set, about every 2 to 3 weeks. Once you have filled your acrylics 3 or 4 times, it's probably time to get a new set. You have more control over the strength and look of your nails this way.
