Pink %26amp; White refers to the colors used in a nail enhancement. When you get a set of Pink %26amp; Whites, it is normally done in acrylic. It can be done, and is commonly done with UV gel as well. But, most often when people refer to P%26amp;W's, they mean acrylic nails. So, there is no difference. It is still acrylic. Acrylic comes in many, many different colors. Pink %26amp; White full sets refer to the pink being at the base of the nail, and the white being the tip - or the extension of the nail. This can be done the easy way by using white plastic tips glued to your natural nails and then the tech will apply clear acrylic over that to provide strength to the nail extension. Or, they can literally 'sculpt' the white on - which I much prefer. Sculpting is an advanced technique where the tech applies forms over your fingertips, and uses the form to sculpt the entire extension. No plastic tips are used in this method. I feel it gives a much more realistic looking final result, and is more durable and more realistic looking than using tips. It takes more skill as well to sculpt nails, and to do a good job with it. You will usually see unskilled techs using white tips because they aren't skilled enough to sculpt, or just don't want to take the time to do the job right, IMO. To me, using tips is taking the easy way out, LOL!


A fill is when the tech fills in the area that has grown out and away from the cuticle area leaving a space between the acrylic and the natural nail that is visible. This space is filled during a, um, fill...A backfill is typically done every other fill. This is done on P%26amp;W nails. See, as your natural nails grow out, so does the nail enhancement - obviously. And, with enough growth, the 'white' extension moves outward and begins to look out of place. The tech essentially corrects that by filing off most of the white along with some of the pink, and then reapplys the white while at the same time - moving the 'white' back to it's original position on the nail. This makes the nail look more in balance once again. Think about it. The white grown out to way past where your natural free edge is supposed to be looks awfully funny after a while. So, that has to be repositioned, and moved back to where it should be. A backfill is also referred to as a rebalance.


No, you won't have to get new sets applied very often at all. Maybe once or twice a year. If the tech wants to apply a new set each time you go to have your nails done, you are definitely going to an unskilled tech. This is because doing a fill is a bit difficult to do. But doing a rebalance is even more difficult to do, and more time consuming too. So, many of the techs who work at these discount salons you see everywhere would rather take off your nails, and apply new ones instead of doing it the right way - which is to give you either a fill or a rebalance, depending on which is needed. Most simply lack the skills necessary to do either. It happens all the time in these types of salons. Don't fall for it. They make more money off of full sets than they do with fills, or backfills.What exactly are pink/white nails and how are they different from acrylic? What are pink fills and back fills
the difference pink and white is permanent french and acrylic is usually with clear or natural tip and pink and white use can use glitter in the pink and white powder .. the same time frame as acrylic does . they take longer to do . you can get a fill of both pink and white powder if the tip its thick enough . to me its just as bad for your nails as acrylics are
Pink/White are permanent french, you get fill in over other month just as acrylics. With the Pink and White they use a gel instead of acrylic, there suppose to get damage less easily. They are more expensive then acrylic,and from my experience wasn't worth it, they look too fake I like having acrylic.
A simple answer instead of a novel. Pink %26amp; White nails are artificial enhancements that can be done with gel or acrylic. Depending on where you are going will depend on how long they last. My clients get fills every three weeks. The amount of damage done to the nail also depends on the nail tech. Going to a budget nail salon is not good. Remember, you get what you pay for!
