Acrylic Nails vs. Gel Nails

I have created a comparison chart of acrylic nails versus gel nails.

ACRYLIC NAILS
GEL NAILS
Artificial nail enhancements
·      The appearances of the acrylic nails sometimes look less natural than the gel nails.
·      The appearance of the gel nails have a glossy look.
·      The costs of acrylic nails are about $30 to $40.
·      The costs of gel nails are about $35.
·      Acrylic nails are cured slowly by patiently waiting for them to dry.
·      Gel nails are cured fast by a UV-light, which ensures a high shine.
·      The overuse or incorrect application of primer nails can cause damage to the nails.
·      Gel nails are applied without a primer, which doesn’t leave any hard impressions the nails.
·      Acrylic nails last for about 2 to 3 weeks, they are easier to break, and aren't durable.
·      Gel nails last for about 3 to 4 weeks, are stronger, and more durable than the acrylic nails.
·      Acrylic nails have to be made on the natural nail, they have to be filled, and shaped to satisfaction.
·      Gel nails are a lot more fun because they require less filing and filling during the application process.
