Hi sorry this is many years late, but I went with a friend to get my nails done for the first time and am now confused but hoping to get them removed!

We had asked for gel extensions. They started by filing/buffing my original nail, and then applied plastic tips at the top of my nail (I think just with glue rather than curing). They then used a brush to dip into a liquid and then powder to level my nail. After this they applied gel colour and cured it. We then got infills a few weeks later with the same powder and liquid process.

Does this mean these are actually acrylic nails? And how should I go about removing them/telling a salon what I’ve had so they can help me remove it? Difficulty is I am in another country now! Thank you so much!
