Question

Are gel nails or acrylic nails better? Which one has less maintenance?

Answer 1

I never got gel . I always got acrylic. I guess it depends on how you take care of them. If you go every to weeks they should be maintainable.

Answer 2

Solar Nails are the only kind i have ever had and i didnt have to do anything to them and they lasted a long time

Answer 3

Gel is less maintenance because they tend to last longer, but I've never gotten them because they are more expensive and acrylic looks just as good.

Real uv gel nails can last over a month.  They are thinner, more flexible and look natural.  Make sure to find a really good nail tech and the nails should never lift.  Don't let anyone try to convince you that gel nails come in a powder form because they do NOT!  

Those are acrylic nails that say powder gel... They are more adhesive than regular acrylic nails but are brittle and NOTHING like gel nails.

I love gel nails.  Mine never lift and I only need a fill every 3 weeks!  With acrylic nails I had to have them filled every week to week and a half.. That cost tons...

I save money with gels... They look and feel better.  The initial set cost more but it is definitely worth the money!!!!

Get gels they are fabulous!!!!!

Answer 5

Neither are of any maintenance.

However, gels are healthier for your nails.

Answer 6
