Thinking about adding some length to your nails but confused by the salon menu? Let's settle the debate between acrylics and hard gels.
Acrylic Extensions
Created by mixing a liquid monomer and powder, acrylics air-dry into a rock-hard casing. They are incredibly durable and perfect for women who work with their hands. However, the application process involves strong odors.
Hard Gel Extensions
Hard gels are practically odorless and are cured under a UV or LED lamp. They tend to look slightly more natural and have more flexibility than acrylics, making them less prone to snapping under severe pressure.
The Verdict
If durability is your main concern, acrylics are the winner. If you prefer a lighter feel and lack of fumes, hard gels are the way to go!
