Gel Nails: The Natural Look

Gel nails have become the gold standard for natural-looking manicures. They cure under UV light, feel lighter on the nail, and maintain a high-gloss finish for up to three weeks.

Pros: Flexible, lightweight, natural look, lower damage when removed properly.

Cons: Shorter lifespan than acrylics, higher cost per session.

Acrylic Nails: Strength and Length

Acrylics are ideal for clients who want significant length and strength. The powder-and-liquid system creates a durable overlay that can be shaped into virtually any style.

Pros: Extremely durable, great for extensions, lower per-session cost.
