Just wanted to share some information that may help busy professionals caught up with work and who have less time to maintain their nails. You can try out gel nails which are now becoming a hot favorite as they are natural looking even without nail tips and the best way for nail enhancement. Also, if you are allergic to those strong smelling chemicals which you can experience with acrylic nails, then you should use gel nails as these are odorless. However, when you are planning on gel nail application, make sure you approach a nail salon or a nail artist who is well versed with gel nails and is properly trained and mastered in gel applications. This will save you from problems that can arise with improper gel nail applications. Interesting content.

First, no light gel nails are not 'gel' nails at all. Yes, they are called 'gel' but they are in reality cyanoacrylate based (think 'Super Glue.' That's made from cyanoacrylate). They are nowhere near as strong as light cured UV gel nails. In fact, simple exposure to water can weaken the structure of these nails and cause them to break down. I do not suggest their use unless a person wants nails only for the short term. Second, neither damages your nails worse than the other - meaning acrylic or gel. Actually, neither causes damage to your nails when approved, top quality products are used, and they are applied properly by a well qualified nail tech. It is a poorly trained or unskilled nail tech who damages your nails, not the product itself. Third, nail polish will adhere to gel nails, but the use of a base coat is highly recommended. Saying that polish will not 'stick' to gel nails is not true. However, gel nails are - by their very nature, highly glossed and shiny. So, to apply polish is, in my opinion, kind of ruining the beauty of the nails. Lastly, the removal methods you described are perfect for the removal of either no-light 'gel' nails, or acrylic nails. But neither method will work for true UV light cured UV nails, unless they are the soakable kind which not many salons use. Some do, but its not as common as traditional UV gels are. This type of nail enhancement must be filed off. Acetone, or polish remover will not work to remove them. You could sit for hours with your fingers in acetone or polish remover, and not much will happen - if anything. Filing is the pretty much the only way to remove traditional UV light cure gel nails. This should not be done at home. I suggest that people go to a highly experienced tech who has a lot of experience removing UV gel nails. Its very easy to file off too much of the gel and file right5 into your natural nails, causing much damage in the process. An unskilled tech can easily ruin your nails for many months while your nails grow out all the damage they had done to them. Always seek the services of a highly skilled, and experienced nail professional for just about any type of nail services. There are some things that can be done at home, but others really should be left to the pros. A few comments on this article. First, no light gel nails are not ‘gel’ nails at all.
