Gel Nails vs. Gel Tips: Which is Right for You?

Question
Which is best gel or gel tips, how are gel tips applied?t

Answer
There are so many gel products on the market these days, there's no way to pick out which one is "best."

Plus, each nail tech has personal preferences and skill levels that factor in to their choice of products.

Light Elegance, Akzentz,Masterworks, Young Nails, CND, OPI, and NSI are some of the major players in the gel product game here in the U.S. While other countries have other big name brands as well. You'll have to try several lines and decide which one you like best.

Applications methods also vary and you'll need to play around with different techniques to see which one works best for you. All the major manufacturers back up their product with education available to professional nail techs-- just check out their websites or give them a call to find an educator and/or seminar near you.

You can also attend an industry trade show, which will give you a chance to visit several companies under one roof and view application techniques.
