If you are going to get your nails done, get the gel nails. They are much more better than the acrylic.What are the pros and cons of gel nails? what about having them taken off? any info about gel nails??
acrylic is really bad on your nails, they can't 'breathe' i woudl say get the silk wraps.. the nail salon doesn't bore into your natural nail like they would when they are filing the acrylic ones.. as for gell just be careful in the applicatino!
gel nails are good because you can get them french and if you want to paint over them to match an out fit you can do it yourself nad then take it off the next day and still have pretty french nails. they cost a little more than acryllic ones but they are better. Personally i like solar nails the best, they never get yellow like acryllic ones especially if you go tanning!
When I get my nails done I always get gel nails. They look really great. But... there is a huge downside. If you are planning on going back every other week to get them filled in, then they are totally worth it. If you aren't, they SUCK after a few days. They start chipping around the cuticles and there is NO easy way to take all of them off at once. For a while you will have chipped and missing nails. One other small thing that doesn't really bother me but you may want to know is that once your real nail grows back out it will have a ridge in it. I was told about a nail remover that is supposed to take them off if you soak them for a while... It didn't work at all, only made it worse.


But, even knowing all this, i still get gel nails when I have a special occasion because they look great. As long as your willing to pay the price for the next two weeks.


Good luck! Hope I helped.
