A sculpted acrylic nail is an extension of your natural nail. It's a form that goes underneath the nail bed with acrylic powder and liquid. We brush over the top, over the edge of the sculptured form to give you any length that you need. Most people use sculpted nails to add extension to the length that they might not be happy with on their own nails, or to use for polish to last longer, or to avoid any type of glues. A sculpted nail is a little less abrasive.
