Acrylic or Gel?
I've been using acrylic and I enjoy them. But I am considering trying these out
and would like some feedback. I used to never get my nails done, but I find I play a bit different with acrylics. It's a softer and brushier sound, more delicate and aware. So, I have been enjoying them quite a bit. Any thoughts? Here's a link http://blog.dreamguitars.com/guitar-nails/ |

Gel, definitely. They won't destroy the top of your nail when you remove them.

I haven't removed my acrylics in almost twenty years... never had any reason to do so.
I get them filled every five weeks, and they just keep on going. |

I tried Gels before but they did not hold. They chipped and cracked. I have heard this from numerous people. On the flip side I have heard people say that gel is much stronger than acrylic. I am sure it also depends on the person applying and their technique, also how much gel they use. Ideally, it would be best to do them myself. I only put two fingers. Index and Middle

I use acrylic and have tried but never found a better solution FOR ME. One thing I do is only cover half my nail bed and blend it down smooth to my real nail. This leaves half the nail exposed so it can properly grow.
