Content: it's just a little longer than regular manicures since there's u/v curing involved. gel nails don't break, since they're formed on top of your natural nail/nail length. maybe some people have gotten nail tips or something with the gel? doesn't really make sense, because you might as well just get acrylic, but i don't really know if that's even really done. it lasts for a while like maybe two weeks until you have to do touch ups at the salon (your nail grows, so the polish/nail tips/nail gel shifts up.) you can really just look up some more information about gel vs. acrylic. i actually got the information i looked up and know confirmed by a salon that does both that gel is much better (apparently they say it makes your nails better, but i don't know how... might not even be true.) hope i helped they come out SO beautifully~

My family owns a nail salon, but I myself don't do acrylic nails...so here's what I know based on what my family tells me (and listening to what they tell customers): -Gel looks a lot more natural, if the nail tech has good skills
-The timing of the two isn't that different. The longest part (from what i see) is actually doing the acrylic.
