Gel nails or acrylic nails, which do I choose?

One of the most common questions we are asked is about the type of technique to be used for nail sculpting.
We help you choose the technique that is best for you.

WHAT DO I USE TO BUILD MY NAILS WITH ACRYLIC OR GEL?

We have asked our advisor to build two nails with two different techniques, as you can see both when showing them off and maintaining them the differences escape the less expert eyes.

When building nails with Gel or Acrylic we advise you to use the technique that is most comfortable for you, this way you will be sure to get a great result.

Our consultants agree that the gel nail sculpting technique is more manageable and easier to learn so if you are just starting out it will be easier to develop your skills with this technique.

With time and practice you will surely be indifferent to building with one technique or another and it will be the advantages offered by each product that can help you decide.

ADVANTAGES OF BUILDING NAILS WITH GEL
