Pink and white creates a defined French tip, while ombre blends into a soft gradient. Both are $60 for a full set and $50 for a fill-in on our current menu. Prices may vary based on length, shape, design, and customization.
If you want a clean French-style acrylic look in South Jordan, the menu offers two ways to get there, plus the fill-in appointments that keep them going. Both live under the same Artificial Nails group, described there as "Acrylic, ombre, pink & white, dip powder, and gel enhancements." Here is what separates the two, and what happens at the fill.
How Pink and White Gets Its Color
Pink and white is not a French manicure painted over a finished set of tips. The color sits inside the acrylic: a pink-toned powder covers the natural nail bed, and a separate white powder is sculpted to form the tip, the section that reads as the smile line where pink meets white. That boundary is shaped into the material itself and never drawn on afterward with polish.
How Ombre Gets Its Gradient
Ombre skips the hard line entirely. Two powders, often a lighter shade near the cuticle fading into a deeper one toward the tip, blend into each other while the acrylic is still workable, so the transition has no visible seam.
Pink and white draws a line and keeps it straight. Ombre blends two colors and lets the line go soft.
What Happens As The Set Grows Out
Every acrylic enhancement grows out the same way underneath. New nail forms at the cuticle and pushes the existing set forward, leaving a strip of natural nail behind the color. A standard Fill-In covers that strip, building fresh acrylic over the regrowth so the surface is level again. Pink and white and ombre both need a bit more, because regrowth moves the whole design out of position, not just a gap.
Pink & White Fill-in
The menu lists the Pink & White Fill-in as a back fill to maintain your set. A back fill rebuilds the white tip section along with the pink regrowth. Left alone, the smile line would slide down the nail as it grows, ending up too far from the fingertip for a clean French edge. The back fill resets the white section forward, over fresh pink on the new growth, so the line lands back where it started.
Ombre Fill-in
The Ombre Fill-in is a maintenance fill for ombre enhancements. With no fixed line to reset, the work is reblending the new growth into the existing set so the whole nail reads as one continuous fade again.
Which Look Fits Your Hands
Pink and white asks for precision. Every fill has to land that smile line in the same spot, so it suits anyone who likes a crisp, classic edge and keeps a close eye on the calendar. Ombre is more forgiving of a slightly late fill, since a soft boundary shows regrowth more gently than a sharp one. Our nail shapes guide is worth a look before you book.
Where Dip Powder Fits
The menu lists Dipping Powder at $45 and Dipping Powder with Gel at $50. It has no ombre or French line, so ask about a design when you book. Our gel, dip powder and acrylic comparison covers how the three differ, worth reading if acrylic itself is still an open question.
Getting A Real Price
Pink & White and Ombre are each $60 for a full set and $50 for a fill-in. Acrylic Powder/Gel is $45 for a full set and $35 for a fill-in. Prices may vary based on length, shape, design, and customization.
Fills And The Calendar
The menu does not publish a fill schedule for acrylic sets, so ask when you book how often yours will need a fill. Nail services carry a 10-day guarantee against lifting, chipping or breakage, so keep that window in mind if a fresh fill feels off early.
The Dry Season Around An Enhancement
The Salt Lake Valley sits in high desert country, and the low humidity that comes with it, worse once winter heating kicks on, is hard on the cuticle around any acrylic enhancement. Through a Utah winter, the natural nail and the skin around the set need real care, and your nail technician can tell you what they recommend. Dry, lifted cuticle skin is the first thing to make a smile line or a gradient look untidy between fills.
After The Set Comes Off
Acrylic Removal is its own line on the menu at $15, or $10 with service, described as safe, gentle removal of acrylic enhancements. What the natural nail looks like underneath, and what actually helps it recover, is a longer topic than fits here. Our guide to nail recovery after acrylics covers the honest timeline.
Between the $45 acrylic set and the $60 sets covered here sit two lines that list at $55+, Gel-X and Hybrid Poly Gel. How those two differ from each other has its own post.

What does the Pink & White Fill-in include?
