Gel French Manicure Pics
I have to admit that I have never been a big fan of artificial nails but if I were to choose one of the so many artificial solutions, I would choose the gel and I am going to tell you why.
I suppose you have seen gel French manicure pics that you really liked. We all know that in our times acrylic is very trendy and wide-spread but you must know that it is a lot better to use gel because it is more durable and it is of better quality. It comes in different colors, mostly white and pink and in different shades, so that you can choose whether to have French manicure that looks natural or one that is a little bit different. In order to get good results the gel is cured under a UV lamp for a period of time. Gel itself is a tough substance but it can be protected by using clear sealant.
The difference between acrylics and gel is that acrylics are flatter because they were designed to fit the most women’s nails, while the gel is custom-made for every customer. Besides all this gel has other advantages as well; for example it can be sculpture to be tapered and the tips to be more rounded. The arched nails are the characteristic that make gel French manicures so easily recognizable.
Like everything else in the world, gel also has some disadvantages. The biggest of them is that the result that can be achieved is limited to the expertise of the manicurist. If the technician isn’t well trained enough the gel can get too thick. There are some people who like to have thick nails and they can ask for extra thickness, but it can be annoying when this is not what you wanted.
Some people are of the opinion that gel nails look a lot more like natural nails than the acrylic nails and if the gel is made of good quality ingredients then they won’t get a yellowish color. Besides, they are not toxic in any way. All this is true only if the nails are real gel. It is very important to be careful in nail salons about the fact that if you ask for gel nails, the manicurist to provide you with gel nails.
It is simple to tell the difference between gel and acrylic. If the technician is using any kind of powder or liquid on your nails, you can be 100% sure that they are acrylic nails. I have mentioned before that gel must be cured under a UV lamp for each layer of gel. Then a UV sealer is applied and at the end you get a top coat which needs to be cured too. Another indicator might be that gel nails can’t be soaked off, but acrylics can, so if it happens, you can be sure that you didn’t get the real deal. If you liked the gel French manicure pics maybe it’s time to give it a try.
