Contrary to popular belief, no damage or discomfort should be caused if products are used correctly by a professional nail technician.Acrylic is a liquid and powder system whereas Gel is built up and used with a lamp to cure it into place. Both the Acrylic and Gel nail systems are used in a completely different way to each other but create a similar result. There are pros and cons to using both systems, which we are happy to talk through further with you before you decide on a nail course! (Or, you can just book our Complete Nail Tech Course where you will learn both systems – and tons more!)
