It has become a common debate among beauty conscious women as to which nail polish is better, gel nails vs shellac. Both of them have their own pros and cons when it comes to applying them on the nail. When it comes to the benefits of gel nails, they come out on top when compared to the disadvantages. The biggest advantage of gel nails is that they can last for up to two weeks before they need to be re-applied.

Another great benefit of gel polish over natural nail polish is that they are very easy to apply. You can simply brush on the gel and let it dry for a few minutes and then you can simply buff the polish on your nails. Unlike with natural polish, you will not have to worry about the brush bristles getting smeared all over your nails. With gel manicures, your manicure will last for several weeks before you will need to reapply it. This is something that you can never achieve with natural polish.

There is also an added bonus when it comes to gel polish because you do not need to wait until the glue on the back dries up like you would with shellac. All you need to do is brush on the shellac and buff until it is completely dried. This means that you do not have to wait for the glue to dry before putting on your nails.

Gel nail polishes usually have a natural base that helps it get better results with less work but there is one major disadvantage with these gels and that is the removal process. Natural gels are applied using a cotton swab or applicator bottle and they have a very simple removal process that simply involves rinsing the fingers with acetone. The acetone gets rid of any water present in the gel and the nails come out looking nice and neat. With gel nails, the acetone that is used to remove the oil can have a drying effect on the skin and this can cause dryness over time.

As you can see, both gels and shellac nails are pretty similar. The main difference between the two is that gel polishes have a stronger bond with the nail and they tend to last longer. In some cases, you may find that gels will actually look better on some fingernails than natural nails do. It really just depends on the person wearing it and their own personal preference. Overall, both products should do the job just fine.

Both acrylic nails and gel nails can be great nail enhancement techniques. Both types can be very easy to do and you should be able to master either technique in a matter of a few short days. If you want to try something new, however, you may find that you prefer the natural process over the artificial one.
