FAQs

Are gel nails better than acrylics?

Gel and acrylic nails have unique strengths and weaknesses, and deciding which one is right for you depends on a few factors.

Acrylic nails are created by building up a polymer powder and monomer liquid over your natural nail and a synthetic nail tip. The result is a hard, very strong nail extension that will be durable and well-suited to creating long and dramatic shapes. If you love a stiletto or coffin nail that extends far beyond your natural nail length, acrylics might be the winner.

Gel nails, by comparison, can be applied over your natural nail or built out with a synthetic nail tip. When cured under LED light, the result is a more flexible shape better suited for daily use. Some users find that the inflexibility of acrylics can place stress on their cuticles and nail beds — something which is avoided with gel manicures.

Do gel nails damage your nails?

Gel nails are definitely less damaging to your natural nails than acrylics, which require the natural nail surface to be buffed and roughed up for the acrylic to adhere. Gel nails are shiny and strong, and as long as they are properly removed (no picking, please!), they shouldn’t damage your natural nails and in fact help protect them from any hard bumps and scrapes during our daily life work and activities.

How long do gel nails usually last?

Thanks to the flexibility of gel nails, they offer some of the longest-lasting manicures. With proper care and high-quality gel nail polish, a gel manicure should last up to 4 weeks. A properly cured top coat will definitely prolong the life of your gel nails.

How are gel nails removed?

Gel nails are removed by soaking in nail polish remover and then gently coaxed off once softened. Using a soaking remover solution is essential to safely break the bond between the gel nail polish and the nail itself and protect the integrity of the nail.

What tools are required for gel nails?

There are some essential gel nail tools you will need to create a manicure at home. The two most essential pieces for your kit are high-quality gel polishes and a UV lamp to cure the polish with. A nail primer, base coat and top coat will also help to better preserve the life of your nails.

If you want to create nail extensions, you’ll also need the following:

• PolyGel kit which contains nail forms
• PolyGel to build out the length and shape of your new nail
• Spatula tool and dual brush and slip solution for easy application
