The short answer: GEL NAILS are an extremely natural-looking enhancement: thin, clear, flexible, non-yellowing, nonporous, resist lifting. Gel nails can be used for natural nail overlays (actually one of the most difficult techniques--but it looks the easiest), tip overlays, and sculpted onto forms for short extensions, and to help encapsulate a damaged free-edge as it grows out. (For definitions of unfamiliar terms, check the "Glossary of Nail Tech Terminology" page.) Silk or fiberglass can be added to gels when needed for repairs or extra strength (don't get ahead of me, I' ll cover when, why and how later in these pages :).

Myths about Gel Nails:
1) Myth: Gel nails are soooooo easy to do, they apply just like nail polish! Anyone can do them! (Then why isn't everybody already doing them?)
The truth: "Gel nails are easy to learn, but hard to master".
2) Myth: Gel nails are "lumpy" because you can't file them or do finish work.
The truth: Gel nails are non-porous and completely cured, there is no reason not to file them to perfection if needed!

I'm afraid you got some misinformation. Let me shed some light on gels vs. acrylics:
First, 99% of damage to the natural nail is caused by techs using mechanical force during prep and application (drilling, nipping, pinching, etc.) This is the case for both acrylic or gels. One product is not more damaging than the other. It is all in the application.
Second, there can certainly be lifting with gels, just as with acrylics. Again, it is all in application and preperation of the natural nail. For example, if gel is applied too close to the cuticle or side walls of the nail, you better believe you wil have lifting.

The content you have provided is pretty interesting and useful.
Today while I was surfing the Internet, I read about Gel Nails being the latest trend now in the nail fashion industry. After reading about gel nails, I think it’s a great way to dress up your nails giving them a trendy look.
I thought this information might be useful for anyone looking for genuine nail decoration stuff and may not know where to buy them from.
