💅 Nail System Guide: What’s the Difference?

Not sure which service to book? Here’s a simple breakdown of the nail systems I offer, ranked from strongest to lightest 👇

________

Acrylic (Strongest)

🧱🧱 ACRYLIC (Strongest System)

✔ Extremely durable and long-lasting
✔ Best for long nails + heavy wear
✔ Very strong structure and resistance
✔ Great for extensions and sculpting

💡 Best for maximum strength + long sets

⚠️ Less flexible than gel systems

_______

🧱 BUILDER GEL (Strongest Structure)

Best for: long-lasting nails, weak nails, long sets

✔ Strongest and most durable
✔ Builds a structured apex for support
✔ Best retention (3–5+ weeks)
✔ Ideal for natural nail overlays or extensions

⚠️ Heavier structure and requires proper application for best results

⸻

GEL-X (Soft Extensions) (NOT OFFERED)

✔ Full nail tips applied with gel
✔ Lightweight, natural feel
✔ Quick application compared to sculpting
✔ Clean, pre-shaped extensions

💡 Best for fast, lightweight extensions
