Nowadays, there aren't many significant differences between the two nail enhancement systems. However, there are a few differences in the application process that should be considered. For example, acrylic nails are harder than gel nails, and because of the material, a thinner and more natural-looking enhancement is possible. Acrylic nails therefore resemble natural nails much more closely. The plastic used for gel nails, on the other hand, must be cured under a UV lamp. The finished nail is then softer and more flexible than an acrylic nail. Women with brittle nails should consider both options, as acrylic or gel nails could certainly be a solution for them.

It's best to consult your nail stylist beforehand. You can read all about fiberglass in our blog post.

Strictly adhere to the manufacturer's curing time. If the nail enhancement is not cured long enough, the finishing gel will become matte. If you are using a gloss with a sticky layer, you must wait approximately one minute after curing with the cleanser to allow the enhancement to cool.
