Gel overlay on acrylic tips?

I got a gel overlay on acrylic tips. Now it needs to be filled in and I broke one off. Can they still fill it in? Do I have to go to the same place? What will it cost?

Update:

I meant that the tip broke off, not the whole nail.

    Well what do you mean by "broke off" do you mean it was 100% off, like no trace of the nail? If so they will just put a whole other nail on. I would go to the same place so that when you fill the rest of them they will all look the same, otherwise you will have one ugly duckling! ;P I am not sure how much it would cost since I have never broken one off, and I have no idea how much your whole set cost. I would guy for all the fills and the new nail around 15? maybe 20? You can always call your salon and ask or walk in and ask! :) good luck, doll

The gel is utilized to the nails in addition and is processed/finished putting by making use of an ultraviolet gentle, then quickly filed without buffing and polished if needed. as quickly as the small bead with the nail liquid is brushed onto your nail it would not desire any extra activation or set up purely to dry & be buffed & filed. The concepts are distinctive, yet many times they final now no longer one than the different in case you're looking after them, do no longer document them in case you do no longer ought to and attempt to evade figuring out on at them around the cuticle, do no longer use acetone based polish remover and attempt to no longer harm or pull one off it somewhat is rather painful, finally, neither likes water very a lot. no longer that they do no longer final as long yet prolonged publicity to water can in some cases the place lifting has surpassed off reason a nail fungus on the two one, so in case you ever see a darkened spot under the area of the nail mattress the place it somewhat is to be sealed, it appears that evidently yellow-dark or smells humorous, HAVE THEM bumped off right this moment! They do many times final although a good jointly as, if top maintained and cared for. desire this helps!
