Should I get acrylic or gel nails? ?

Question

I bite my nails really short and I'm tired of them looking like c**p. I'm going today after work to get fake nails done and I'm wondering whether I should get acrylic or gel. I’m wondering which type will last longer and are easier to keep looking nice.

Answer 1

Get over your nails and get a life.

Answer 2

DONT GET ACRYLIC!!!!! MY AUNT GOT MOLD AFTER THEM!!! Try the french tip or gel but anything but ACRYLIC!!!

Answer 3

I have had both numerous times.  I had gel's the longest and overall I don't believe I ever had a single gel nail fall off.  They looked far more natural and felt totally different.  When I took them off they also did less damage to my nails underneath.  I recently got acrylic nails put on again just to compare and was disappointed yet again.  They don't look as natural no matter how short you get them.  For some reason the gel lays so much nicer.  The one thing that did bother me was that on some gels when you look from the side you can see a few imperfections and small bumps where the gel doesn't lay as flat as acrylic but overall they looked 50x's better.  Try them both but once you try gel, you will know what I mean!  

Answer 4

GEL nails are the best.

Why not just used the nail strongner and build your own nail then get french tips.

Answer 5

Get the gel...most of my female friends tend to get it  and there's always comes out nice and they last longer.

Answer 6

Don't do Acrylic !!! you will regret it it will wreck your nails..Do gel.
