Gel nails are a new, more natural substitute for acrylic nails. They help protect and not harm your natural nails.

Gel Nails are like a gel (as in one you would put in your hair) and they cure (go hard)under a UV lamp.

Gel nails do not chip.

You can even use them to help grow your natural nails when you use them as a base coat to strength your nails.

Gel nails VS Acrylic nails

Acrylic is a hard, thick plastic susbtance which can be applied over the natural nail or tips. Most Nail Techs use a primer (or glue if you have fake tips) on the natural nail which literally eats into the surface of the nail to created a rough surface so the acrylic will stick to the nail.

Acrylics are VERY hard and unflexable. Most people knock their nails on something, whether it's the car door, or even typing on the keyboard. All these shocks and knocks will loosen the chemical bonder (the primer or glue) which eventually detiorates. Because acrylic is so hard, the whole lot will snap off and then your nail is broken. Most of the time the natural nail is damaged with the knock and then if you apply the acrylic over the top to fix the nail you keep damaging the natural nail and it doesnt get a chance to heal itself.

Even if you are one of the very few ones who doesn't stress your nails and they last the 3 - 4 weeks, constant use of the primer/bonder and the suffocating effect of the Acrylic on your nail will damage your natural nail plate, so if you decided to take your Acrylic offs later, your nails will be very thin and damaged, and will take an average of 6 months to grow back to the healthy nails you had before they were put on.
