Hard Gel Nails Vs Acrylic

If a client has hard and brittle nails.

Hard gel nails vs acrylic. Gel nails dont have a chemical odor. Also a huge bonus of gel nails is that you can add length and essentially create the dream nails. Hard gel can withstand greater pressure and it is less likely to break or crack than acrylic is.

A synthetic nail tip is applied to the natural nail then the solution is placed over both and blended to make the entire nail look like one natural nail. Once the solution is applied it can be molded into a variety of shapes and lengths. Yes gel nails cost more and take longer to apply but they are durable and last much longer.

A manicure can last up to 3 weeks. I found this easier to apply than acrylic in the beginning. Hard gels are not much different than Acrylic Nails.

When you come in for a filling your technician will apply a small amount of gel or acrylic to the space between your cuticle and the old grown-out gel or acrylic application. While most people are familiar with acrylic nail extensions there IS another option. Schedule a filling appointment every two to three weeks.

Just like acrylic gel can crack if it is flexed beyond its stretching point. These nails are costly compared to other nails. Gel nail coloring retains its shine for a long time.

Acrylic nails are stronger cheaper and last longer than gel nails. Gel nail polish is applied similarly to that of a normal polish but instead of leaving the polish to dry it is cured under a UV light. It is NOT gel polishshellacsoft gelsoak off gel.
