Acrylic is not harmful to your nails. Manicurists who butcher the natural nail and surrounding skin are harmful to your nails. People say that acrylics are harmful because they went to a NSS salon and had their nails butchered or they ripped their acrylic nails off themselves and damaged their own nails, then blamed it on the acrylic. Anyone can do the same amount of damage with gels. It's not the product, it's how the product is applied and/or removed. FYI acrylic is safely removed by soaking in acetone. Picking, ripping or biting them off causes damaged nails.
Gels are a pre mixed, UV cured nail enhancement that is light weight, flexible, will not yellow and is extremely durable with no odor. I prefer to use gels, I like them better because they are very easy to file and have a great shine without buffing, it is a personal decision. Acrylics are a liquid and powder product that the manicurist must mix and then apply the mixed product to the nail. Acrylic has an odor. I have nothing against acrylics except the odor, that is why I am a gel master :-) Katherine St. Louis, MO Sent from my iPad On Sep 29, 2010, at 1:57 PM, Veronica Mora <[email protected]> wrote: Can anyone tell me why everyone says that acrylic is so harmful to your nails? Is it true or False and why? another question is that, clients often ask what is the difference of gels and acrylics, which one is better and which one is worse ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
