A Nail Technician Weighs In
We reached out to Zintle Mthotywa, a nail bar owner and nail technician specialist, for her take on the growing popularity of stick-on nails. Zintle confirmed that she has noticed a significant shift as more people opt for this convenient and cost-effective solution.
"Stick-on nails are creating a buzz in the market because they save time compared to traditional acrylics, which require cutting and shaping. It’s a modern approach that caters to busy lifestyles without compromising style."
What Are the Different Types of Stick-On Nails?
Zintle also explained the various types of stick-on nails available on the market today:
"There are gel-based stick-on nails that need a special light to set, and then there are ready-to-use ones that last up to three days with minimal maintenance. These simply require glue for application. Ultimately, the longevity depends on the quality of the product and how well you care for them."
