Acrylics are formed using a liquid-and-powder system and are known for strength and durability. Gel nails are applied as a pre-mixed gel and cured under UV light, they tend to be more flexible and have a more natural finish, but may not be as durable as acrylics for longer lengths.

It’s really down to personal preference. Gels give a more natural, glossier finish than acrylics, but acrylics tend to be stronger. Gel nails cure under a UV lamp; acrylics start curing as soon as they’re exposed to air. They can both be used to lengthen nails. Gels last for 2 weeks and should then be removed; Acrylic nails last 6-8 weeks, but will need fills after 2-3 weeks to hide regrowth. Both can damage your natural nails, so it’s always best to seek out an experienced nail technician who can do the application, filling and removal for you.
