The technical explanation for gel nails is: GEL NAILS are an extremely natural-looking enhancement: thin, clear, flexible, non-yellowing, nonporous, resist lifting. Gel nails can be used for natural nail overlays (actually one of the most difficult techniques--but it looks the easiest), tip overlays, and sculpted onto forms for short extensions, and to help encapsulate a damaged free-edge as it grows out.
Personally I just had two nails done Saturday. One was broken and the other nail is having trouble growing out. So in my case, it was the gel over my natural nails to strengthen them. The salon I go to costs $32 for a full set and $25 to fill, which is done every 3wks or so depending on how fast your nails grow. Filling just means to put more gel at the base of the nail by the cuticle to even it out again. Hope this helps.

What are gel nails? How do they differ from acrylics?
Gels and acrylics are similar in that they both can be used to extend the length of the nails and make them stronger.
One advantage of gel services is that they are odorless Like acrylic, gels can be applied over the natural nail or over artificial nail tips.
