Pros of Acrylic Nails
If you break an acrylic nail you can almost always fix it temporarily and rather easily yourself.
Acrylics are very strong. When done correctly and good nail care is practiced, they can last a long time. They鈥檙e robust!
Pros of Gel Nails
Gel nails often look more natural and glossy than other types of cosmetic nails.
Gel nail mixtures are odorless.
There is less filing involved during the application process.
Cons of Acrylic Nails
They can damage your real nails in a harsher manner than gel nails can.
Acrylics can look fake instead of natural and they can look even worse when done incorrectly.
It can be hard to grow out acrylic nails.
Cons of Gel Nails
They don鈥檛 last as long and are less durable than acrylic, even though they tend to cost more.
Gel nails are harder to do yourself if you like to do home manicures.
It鈥檚 been noted that nail polish won鈥檛 stick to the gel finish as well as it does to an acrylic finish.
If a gel nail breaks, you may be in for some trouble. It can sometimes be more of a shatter effect than a clean break, so self-fixing a break is not usually an option. You鈥檒l need to make an appointment right away with your manicurist. Sometimes they do break cleanly; basic nail glue could be used in that case.
Gel nails almost always need to be filed off. You can鈥檛 just soak them awayGel or acrylic nails? which are better?

Gel
However they are both really bad for the real nail underneath!
Gels last longer...I think Acrylic look better but Gels are stronger.
