Choosing between acrylic and gel extensions

Who should do acrylic extensions:

People who are very rough with their nails (gel extensions will BREAK very easily), people who don't mind sitting for longer period to have the manicurist file their extensions, and people who likes to change their extension designs like oh, every few days?

Who should do gel extensions:

People who like SHINY finished product (i.e. shiny without much buffing like acrylic), people who takes REALLY good care of their extensions, people who are sensitive to the stink of monomer, and people who cannot sit still for their manicurist to file the extensions. BUT, most importantly, people who don't mind the SAME extension designs for a VERY long while (think 6 months and beyond).

Interesting content.

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.
