Question Hi,
I want to know the difference between acrylic n gel nail. which is the most demanding, n does acrylic or gel last longer?
Will i hv to do refill for gel after 15 days?
THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER
AnswerHi Kim.
acrylics vs. gel; acrylics and gel are basicly the same thing, acrylics, or l&p (liquid and powder) consists of two products, a liquid and a powder, that start to cure (dry) as soon as they are mixed, to cure they need heat (the body temperature is enough). Gels don't need mixing and they cure with U.V. light so you can work with it until you place it under an U.V light. Gel cures faster than acrylics (about 2 min). The removal process is also diferent, acrylics can be taken of by soaking them in acetone, when gel usually has to be filed off although most recently IBD gel system has been made to soak off. Some people might prefer one system over the other. Acrylic tend to be stonger while gels might give a more natural look.
Both require fills every 2wks or so and or any repairs from breakage.
Hope this helped.
Good luck.
AMber
