With regular 2 to 3 week maintenance, an acrylic set can be safely refilled for 3 to 6 months before needing a full fresh set.

Infinite Style Customization

Change your top coat color, nail art design, or finish with every fill without needing a brand-new set.

Your appointment

What to expect

Debulking & Lifting Removal

Old gel polish, topcoat, and any lifted acrylic edges are carefully filed away using gentle e-file techniques.

Natural Regrowth Dehydration & Prime

The exposed natural nail bed near the cuticle is prepped, dehydrated, and primed to ensure maximum acrylic adhesion.

Acrylic Sculpting & Reshaping

Fresh liquid-and-powder acrylic is placed into the regrowth gap, blended, shaped, and polished to perfection.

Plan your visit

Preparation and aftercare

Before your appointment

Schedule your refill every 2 to 3 weeks to prevent shifting the structural center of gravity and causing nail breakage.
Never pick or tear at lifted acrylic edges prior to your visit, as this rips off underlying natural keratin layers.

After your appointment

Apply high-quality cuticle oil twice daily to nourish the skin matrix and maintain acrylic seal flexibility.
Wear protective rubber gloves when doing housework or washing dishes to protect acrylic bonds from water degradation.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a full set of acrylics and an acrylic fill?

A Full Set applies brand new tips or forms and fresh acrylic across the entire surface of all 10 bare nails. An Acrylic Fill simply fills in the small gap of natural growth at the cuticle line on an existing set, rebalancing its structure and shape.

How often should I get an acrylic fill?

We recommend booking an acrylic fill every 2 to 3 weeks. Waiting longer than 3 weeks places excessive leverage on your natural nail bed as the apex shifts too far forward, greatly increasing the risk of painful cracks or lifting.

Can I change my gel polish color or nail art during an acrylic fill?

Yes, absolutely! During your fill, we file away the old gel polish coat down to the clear or nude acrylic layer. Once prepped and filled, you can choose a completely new color, design, or topcoat.

How many fills can I get before needing a brand new full set?

With proper care and hygienic fills every 2–3 weeks, a set of acrylics can be refilled continuously for 3 to 6 months before needing a complete soak-off and fresh application.

How long does an acrylic fill appointment take?

An acrylic fill at Galeo Beauty typically takes between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on nail length, structural repairs, and your selected nail polish or art finish.
