One question that a number of moms who have read the guide have asked
me is “What’s the difference between acrylic and gel nails?” Here are
some comparisons to help you decide which works best for you.
Acrylic nails - Composed of 2 parts: liquid and powder
- Take a bit longer than gels to dry
- Most are stronger, but can break due to lack of flexibility
- Cost less than gels
- Requires filling every 2-3 weeks depending on how quickly your nails
grow Gel Nails
- More natural looking
- Limited filing required reducing the risk of burns/cuts
- Dry with a UV lamp - Quick to dry, but the whole application process
takes longer
- Lifting can occur if you have oily nails or live in a humid
environment
- Cost is higher than acrylics
- Also require filling every 2-3 weeks
Most nail salons offer both options. Always talk with your nail
technician about any concerns you have beforehand. Choose the option
that works best for you and enjoy you’re pretty, new nails, you Hot
Mama, you! ;) ------
