False nails of some sort have been popular for a while. In their various forms, they allow women who struggle to grow their own nails to have long, attractive nails. Some types of false nails, however, not only look fake, they damage the natural nail beneath them. The advantage of gel nails is that they do neither.
Made from a pre-mix of polymer and monomer gel, gel nails are applied to the nail and then cured in one of several ways. Light-cured gels are cured under UV lights, no-light gels are cured by brushing or spraying a gel activator onto the gel nail - a quicker process than sitting with your hands under UV lights. Gel nails are quicker to apply than acrylic nails, as there is less filling. The mixture is odourless, making it a more pleasant process for the technician and yourself.
They are thin, clear and flexible, making them look and feel more natural than acrylic nails. Gel nails, unlike acrylic nails, do not lift as easily. They don't yellow either, which means that you don't have to polish them to hide the unnatural colour. Gel nails are also glossier than acrylic nails, and you can apply nail polish to them as well. Gel nails also work well with a French Manicure or other nail art designs. In fact, the options with gel nails are limitless.
The biggest advantage of having gel nails applied over other types of false nails is that they do not damage the underlying nail. Most women wanting false nails find it difficult to grow their own nails, or they have nails that grow in awkward shapes. You can choose your preferred length and have the gel nails applied by a professional in a salon quickly and easily. Although home kits are available, it is quite a difficult to procedure to carry out by yourself.
With Acrylic nails, the damage to the natural nail means that you will be more likely to keep replacing them to hide your damaged nails. This becomes a never-ending cycle that is difficult to halt. Gel nails, because they don't damage the nail, can be considered a temporary nail enhancement that allows your own nails to grow out, strong and healthy. Gel nails are a little more expensive than acrylic nails, and tend to last for less time, but at least when you do remove them you'll have your own lovely nails underneath.
Manicured, elegant nails are the finishing touch to a polished image. They are on show all day, and it is important that they look as good as the rest of you.
