Acrylic Nails vs. Gel Nails

Use of acrylic as well as the gel nails has been in trend for many years. However, due to the growing popularity of gel nails ladies are opting less for acrylic nails as reported by several salons across the country.

Acrylic nails

Acrylic nails are basically the most robust artificial nails which are applied using a powder polymer and a liquid monomer. This mixture when layered upon your natural nail and exposed to air for nearly 15 minutes gets hardened. A hard layer of acrylic nail gives a perfect canvas for various nail embellishments, piercing or mere nail coloring.

Gel nails

These nails have the hardness like an acrylic nail and appearance like a natural nail. However, they need to be cured under the UV or LED lamp to get hardened. The gel nail polishes need to be cured for 3 minutes after every coat.

If you are confused about which artificial nails to go for, then there is a simple solution- asking your manicurist. She must be knowing what kind of nail would suit you. However, before consulting her, you might also like to see a comparison between the two yourself:

 Acrylic Nails vs. Gel Nails

Features	Acrylic Nails	Gel Nails
Repair	Easier to fix	Almost impossible to fix at home
Removal	Easy. Soaking off is an easy method	Difficult. Need to be filed off completely.
Strength	Very strong. Last for 18 days or more	Don’t last long
Finish	Look fake	Glossier. Look natural
Curing Time	More than gel nail	Less than acrylic nail. Takes around 2 minutes.
Odor	Typical smell of acrylic colors	Odorless
Shaping	Filing is required	Filing is not required only shaping is required.
Side Effects	Harmful for natural nails	No side effect noticed
Appearance	Thicker than gel nail	Thin
Convenience	Can be done at home easily	Needs a professional
Cost	Cheaper	Expensive

Acrylic Nails

Are you going to a party soon and want big nails for it??? Growing nails is definitely going to take a lot of time which I guess you would be lacking. How about going for acrylic nails??? Every woman loves long nails, and acrylic nails are the most alluring ones.

Acrylic nails are the strongest nailsthat can be used by you. If you really want long lasting beautiful nails, then you must visit your spa for a professional to do the treatment.

Acrylic nail is an artificial nail which is glued on the natural nail. These acrylic nails are formed by combining a liquid (EMA, i.e., Ethyl Methacrylate or MMA, i.e., MethylMethacrylate) and a powder. The nails made of EMA are generally more long-lasting and flexible than those made of MMA. MMA nails might be cheaper, but often they cause skin irritation. So it’s always recommended to go for acrylic nails made up of EMA.

Acrylic nails are not new in the market; these nails are in fashion since centuries. The Egyptians were the first one to introduce these artificial acrylic nails. However, at that time these nails were worn by ladies belonging to affluent class while nowadays those ladies who have brittle nails wear them too. Being made up of resilient substance they prove to be more elastic and flexible nails good for brittle nails.

Short nails may look odd on special occasions or weddings. Wearing acrylic nails can solve the problem as acrylic nails with several designs, including 3D effects are available, which would make your nails the center of attraction of the party. You can go for different types of embellishments on your acrylic nails.

Wearing artificial nails doesn’t mean that you don’t have to care for them instead you have to care for them a lot. Few things have to be kept in mind while going for acrylic nails:

– When applying you must be sure that your natural nail is moisture free or infection would appear after some days beneath the artificial nail.

– Even after the application you must not keep your nails under water for long time. Water might seep through and create infection. It may also create a gap between the natural nail and the acrylic nail which can also lead to fungus or bacteria growth.

The acrylic nail care service is not as costly as the gel nail service and will complete in 20 minutes. Their robust feature makes them ideal for piercing and other embellishments.

Applying acrylic nails:

Step 1:

Prepare the nails by removing any old nail polish present on the nail. Clean the nails with hand sanitizer.

Step 2:

File and buff the nail. Try to make the nail a bit rough. Put the artificial nail extensions beside the hand.

Step 3:

Apply glue to the nail extension and stick it onto the natural nail.

Step 4:

Dip the brush into the liquid to get a little quantity, which is enough for one nail. Then dip this brush into the acrylic powder. A small moist ball would be formed at the brush end. Apply this to the nail.

Step 5:

Repeat the process in order to make the surface even. Ensure that no discrimination can be made between the natural nail and the artificial one.

Step 6:

After every coat of the acrylic mixture check that it doesn’t touch the cuticles otherwise it would lead to lifting of the skin.

Step 7:

Allow the nails to dry for 15 minutes. Once they become hard you can file them.

Step 8:

Now your nails are ready for French manicure or any gel or simple nail color application.

You can do this process at home to save money and time. However, if you want to pamper yourself, then you must visit a salon and let the nail professional do this job for you.
