What Is the Difference Between Gel and Acrylic Nails?

Gel and acrylic nails are both popular options for enhancing nail length and durability, but they differ in application and finish. Gel nails are applied as a liquid and cured under a UV or LED lamp, resulting in a glossy, natural look that feels lightweight. They're known for their flexibility and are less likely to chip. Acrylic nails, on the other hand, are created by combining a liquid monomer with a powder polymer to form a hard protective layer. They're typically stronger and more durable than gel but can feel heavier. Choosing between the two depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and how often you plan to maintain them.

How Do I Choose the Right Nail Colour for My Skin Tone?

Choosing the right nail colour for your skin tone can enhance your overall look and complement your natural beauty. If you have fair skin, soft pastels, pinks, and classic reds work beautifully. Medium skin tones glow with corals, rose shades, and rich berries. Deeper skin tones shine with bold colours like plum, gold, navy, and bright neons. Undertones also matter, cool undertones pair well with blues and purples, while warm undertones suit oranges and earthy tones. If you're unsure, a neutral like nude or blush is always a safe and flattering option. For personalised guidance, salon technicians can help match shades to your style and tone.
