Hard Gel Vs. Acrylic Hard gel is not necessarily a better enhancement than acrylic nails. Both are very good enhancements when performed by a skilled technician. Hard gel is more flexible and stronger than acrylic, but it’s not as hard. Someone who is used to acrylic may feel that hard gel is weaker, but that is not true. Hard gel can withstand greater pressure and it is less likely to break or crack than acrylic is. Just like acrylic, gel can crack if it is flexed beyond its stretching point. However, because it has more flexibility, it will generally cause less trauma when cracked than when an acrylic nail cracks. It can withstand greater pressure and it will cause less trauma if a crack does occur. However, I personally prefer hard gel for many reasons and here's why:
✔️No odour, no strong fumes
✔️More hypoallergenic than acrylic
✔️More flexible
✔️Feels and looks more natural
✔️Safe during pregnancy
✔️Won’t yellow like acrylic (especially helpful for a hair stylist)
✔️Less damaging to the nail in case of trauma
✔️Super shiny and shine lasts until your next fill
✔️More resistant to lifting and cracking than acrylic
