What is the difference between gel nails and acrylic nails?
Acrylic nails have been around since the 1970’s and they still remain the most popular artificial nails as they are very sturdy. The difference is that acrylic paints are made with an acrylic liquid and a powder.
This mixture hardens quickly and forms the strongest and most durable artificial nail. Gel nails are also made with a combination of liquid and powder, but when cured they look more natural and are more flexible than a natural nail. Ultimately, it is your personal preference as to which technology suits you better. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Acrylic nails tend to be cheaper, but are still stronger and more durable. Gel nails are probably safer and gentler on the natural nail. Though gel nails still need UV lamp to cure.
The good news: there has been a wide range of nail polishes with a gel look in drugstores for some time, which you can apply to your nails yourself. Yes, it may not look exactly like the pro, but it can get better and better with practice. You can also see it as a sample for different nail polish colors, try the latest gel nail trends first and then have them done in the nail design studio.
For example, how about the new color of the year 2023 – Digital Lavender?
