Has anyone here have or had Gel Nails? I was wondering what the Pros and Cons are of them. Also are they better for your nails then the acrylic? Thanks!

    Gel nails r stronger more softer and thinner so they look very natural.

    You cant soak them off where as acyrlic you can soak your hands in acetone, gel they have to be filed right off. and are about 10 dollars more expensive. They also look very shiney =]

    i cannot wear acyrlic as my nails are very thin once they come off my nails look like hell! Gels make my nails look 'normal' when they fall off...i would say gels are better for your nails.

    just make sure the place you go to..is using gel's some people lie.

    gel is from a pot and is like hair gel. acyrlic is liquid and powder.

    I easily have had the two ones. I beloved gels greater by way of fact they did not spoiled my nails plenty, and for my section they have been a lil bit greater gentle. yet acrylic ones are greater proper and that they final for longer... however the damaging ingredient of acrylic nails are that for the period of time the acrylic isn't looking so properly .. Oh, and gel nails damaging is that the gel is beginning as much as peel after a time .. If i had to % returned then i might % gel nails .. :)
