I've only used acrylic. They are very thick, and I can't go without nail polish. Do silk or gel appear more natural?

Queen: I didn't realize it could just be technique. When I removed my polish you can see a white line to mark each fill. Also, like the rings of a tree trunk. Is that a sign of poor technique? Should I find another nail technician?

Sorry, I meant SIMILAR TOO the rings of a tree trunk, not "also."

Acrylic, you know what that is, the powder and liquid. The gel is a powder they apply to your own nail and wet it with gel to make your nail stronger. Silk is actually silk, cut to the length and width of your nail and applied with a liquid and buffed.. There are also solar nails, like the acrylic, but they use two different powders (pink and white) and they dont polish them, just buff with a cream....they can make all of them thin if that is what you want. I would try them to see which you favor more. Everyone's tastes are different.
Those rings mean they are drilling at your cuticle too deep at each fill in. You definitely should find someone else. They just look at you as another fill in and not trying to keep you. They would not be doing this if they were more professional and careful.

gel nails are pretty much just a regular acrylic but at the end they put on this gel and put it under i light. i am not sure what it does but that what i get and my nails stay on forever! they tend to be 25-30$ acrylic nails are just basic acrylic put over your nails to make them hard. you can get that for 20$ silk wraps are the best quality and they look very natural. on most nails you know how your nails look thick from the acrylic? well the sick wrap you can even tell there is anythin on them it looks like your real nails. but i am not sure what extreme nails are. sorry :(. maybe they are like the really really really long nails some people have.

Maybe it's not the fact they are acrylic.... but the technique of your nail tech! The people I currently go to now do very nice natural looking acrylic nails for me. find a different tech and see if they don't do better work.
