Ive had Acrylic before and really really liked them. Just wondered what the difference is with gel really. Thanks. xx

Gel Overlays are the best they strenghten your nails while still allowing them to breath. They are much better then acrylic as they do less damage to your nails. I get mine done twice a month and now no longer have tips just gel on my own nails which adds strength.

Acrylic is the strongest type of nails you can get the only thing is if the nails start to lift or come off the acrylic could take the natural nail off as well. Gel is a lot more flexible than arcylic, it's strong but not as strong as the acrylic, the difference with gel is that when it lifts or come off, it's only the gel that comes off and not the natural nails and it doesn't damage the nails as much as acrylic can do.

I really like the gel nails because they last longer than acrylic and they make your nails look more natural.

Acrylics killed my nails. It's taken 3 months and a lot of nail strengthener to get them back to how they used to be and good enough to wear longer and paint them! I'm going to try gel if I ever have them done again, even though it's more expensive.

Gel nails are the best because they last longer and they look better after you have them for a week or so.

In my experience the gel is a little better to my original nails. When I have had acrylic, they seam to eat through my natural nails and it takes weeks to recovr. Instead of getting the fake ones, have you tried Sally Hansen Maximum growth? The light pink one makes my nails super long and strong in a matter of days, you can almost watch them grow!

Gel if you're into falsies but I'd go for silk wraps to strengthen your real nails

I've had the gels before and they are pretty good.

Fibreglass nails are great,
It's a little mesh that they put over natural nail to create a tip, leaving nail free to breathe!
