Nails: what’s right for you?

Yessica Gonzalez, Reporter

When it comes to us lady’s choosing what type of nails to get. Of course we can never choose the shape, color and length. There are two types of nails that people get.

Gel and Acrylic nails are the most popular type of right now. There are two types of gel nails: soft and hard. Hard gel is tough enough to be made into a nail extension. Nail extensions are artificial  nails created by using a nail product to extend the nail past the edge of the natural nail. Soft gel refers to the gel products that are too soft to create a nail extension. This includes gel polishes and thicker gels meant for gel-overlay services. Gel polishes are used for the increasingly popular gel polish manicures. Acrylics, the most popular artificial nail, are a combination of a liquid and powder that creates a hard, protective layer over the natural nail. A nail tip is applied to the nail.

So next time you don’t know what type of nails to get look into both gel and acrylic nails.
