gels look more natural but they aren't as durable as acrylics and they are more expensive. acrylics are more durable but they are a bitch on your nails if you have them daily. tips are acrylic nails with the white french manicure tip already on it. crystal tips are basically nails with a crystal gem/jewel, whatever. if your getting it done as one time thing, i'd get acrylics because they are easy to remove.

The person above me pretty much said it all.
I had my nails done once, and they were gel nails and apparently I was allergic to something that was in them, because my fingers were red and irritated and broke open and bled around the nail and I had to go back a few days later and get them removed because the pain was something else. So deffinately make sure that you don't have an allergies. |

some people's nails are like that. I see a lot of them when i work. Mostly you're just allergic to the primer. The trick is not to get that on your skin.
