Why You Should Consider Gel Nails

July 17th, 2010

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.

Gel nails should be applied in a salon to ensure the difficult process is performed properly. Although less time-consuming than acrylic nails, it is difficult to perform the application procedure on your own nails. Gel nails do not damage the underlying nail, and do not need to be soaked off in acetone that damages the nail as well.

You can use gel nails to enhance your natural nails until they grow. Although they are said to last for less time than acrylic nails and may be a little more pricey, the lack of nail damage makes up for it. Acrylic nails can do so much damage to your natural nails that you cannot grow them out and find that you have to repeatedly apply acrylic nails to hide your damaged ones. Gel nails are more of an enhancement than a replacement for your real nails, unlike other types of false nails.

Long, well manicured, attractive nails make your hands look better, and since our hands are constantly exposed to the world, most women prefer to keep their nails looking as good as possible. Gel nails protect your nails, allowing them to grow out healthy and strong while keeping up appearances. Instead of waiting months for your nails to grow, hoping none of them will break, you can have gel nails professionally applied and polished to lengthen short nails or strengthen weak ones, allowing them to grow. Natural looking, causing no damage to your nail – that’s why you should consider gel nails.
