Gel vs Acrylic Nails: What You Need to Know

The Great Manicure Debate

When it comes to choosing between gel and acrylic manicures, our experts agree: there's no definitive answer. Both have their pros and cons, so the best option for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences.

Gel Nails

* Chip-resistant and long-lasting * Easy to apply and remove * Can be soaked off without damaging nails * Can be filed thinner for a more natural look * May cause nail damage if not applied or removed properly

Acrylic Nails

* More durable and longer-lasting than gel nails * Can be sculpted into different shapes and lengths * Can be used to fix damaged nails * Can be difficult to remove and may require professional assistance * Can lift and cause nail damage if not applied or removed properly
