Gel Nails
Gel acrylic is a one-part system consisting of the application of a thick viscosity gel acrylic. Gel is normally 'cured' under a UV light. Do not confuse gel with traditional acrylic. Even though the two products are actually acrylic, they apply and wear differently. Gel applied over acrylic to seal the surface does not make your nails "Gel Nails". Gel nails are actually acrylic nails; they are made from the same class of acrylates, but with different molecular structures, appearance, application procedures and different curing methods. Be certain you are receiving the artificial nails you requested.

Gel nails are the same as acrylic nails. They are an overlay over your natural nail and add tips for length if wanted. The gel "sets" over an ultraviolet light, instead of hardening like the acrylic ones. . They are about the same care-wise as acrylic nails.

Yeah, they are just a different kind of artificial nails. They are put on then an ultroviolet light is used to set them. They look nice. I'm a guy so I am not into too much detail on that stuff. And no I don't have any of my own. lol
