Gel Nails vs. Acrylic Nails
                    
Gel Nails
                   Hello everyone! Welcome back! Today we will be taking a break from nail designs and we will be focusing on  Gel Nails vs. Acrylic Nails! In my opinion gel nails are much more better than acrylic nails. The positive side of gel nails is that the gel nail polish doesn't damage your nails. The polish is just a thicker polish compared to a normal nail polish. The negative thing about gel nails is that they cost more. Since the polish is very thick and the polish  comes in many different colors, the nail polish is expensive.

Acrylic Nails
                   Acrylic nails are a best friend to every girl whether the girl is two years old or fifty years old. Acrylic nails are todays trend. I personally don't like acrylic nails because they can damage your nails, but there are many positives about these types of nails. Acrylic nails are very strong and can stick onto your nails for a longer time if you take care of them properly. When you are putting acrylic nails on, the process involves applying many chemicals on your nails. Too many chemicals on your nails are not good.

Gel Nails vs. Acrylic Nails
               Now that I have introduced you to the disadvantages and advantages of both gel and acrylic nails, I have put up a chart just to tell you a little bit more about the advantages and disadvantages. Also, after you are done reading this post, you may vote on the poll for either gel or acrylic nails; the poll is at the corner of my blog.


                                                                                                    




 Let's Summarize It All Up!
                      Everyone has a different opinion which we all should respect, but as I have stated before gel nails are better than acrylic nails. Each of them have their advantages and disadvantages. Now let me tell you guys something, when you look at the chart, which side has the most disadvantages? The answer is the acrylic nails side. Also, the affects of applying acrylic nails are very severe. Now, I am just telling you my opinion. You are always welcome to comment and suggest your own opinion on this topic and any other topic.
