I'm going to post a picture of the amazing job James did for me today. I have been wearing acrylic nails for years and James suggested I try a gel build up. I was hesitant because my sister despises gel.
I'm SO glad I tried the gel build up. Here is a list of differences between gel build up and acrylic.
Acrylic Nails: Peel up around the cuticle, Can make your real nail feel constricted and tight, Don't look or feel natural especially if you use a light colored polish, acrylic tends to change color on you. You may see a yellowish tint.
Gel Build Up: No peeling around the cuticle as your nails grow out. The Gel feels extremely lite like it's your real nails! If you like a natural look all you need is clear polish and you're set.
The Gel Build Up costs a bit more than the average acrylic set but it's worth the extra bit of cash. It takes a bit longer to apply. Go for it though!
Last but not least: Jewels. I LoVe jewels. There are lots to choose from. I personally am obsessed with he gold stars.
Please let James be your guy!
