Gel Vs Acrylic which is best?

[Emma09]

I prefer gels, they look more "natural" in my opinion. Hard to find a technician to do a good job, so I myself have acrylics- just got them re done 10 mins ago, completely black with silver and white nail art on ring finger

How often do you have to get nails redone?

Just got acrylics done on Sunday. I prefer acrylics as they last longer. They do look a little fake when you first get them done but as they grow out more you are able to get them thinner and they stop looking so stuck on.

Depending on how hard you are on them and how fast your natural nails grow you need to get them done once every 2-3 weeks. Last time I had mine it was about 2.5 weeks sometime shorter as mine tend to grow pretty fast.

Just don't get them too long the first time if you haven't had them before or for a while as it can be annoying trying to get used to them. I get mine shorter to start and then let them grow more as I get them filled each time.
