What do all of the different types of fake nails mean (acrylic, silk wrap, etc.), which is the most natural?

I've had alot of people ask me which is better for your nails... In my professional opinion Wraps are better due to the fact that they are the lighter of the three.





Most nails become dependent on things that are applied to the nail. The best way to grow strong healthy nails is to get them manicured on a regular basis without adding any additives to them. Yes its true most people have naturally weak nails and for them I suggest to get an overlay to their nails and maintain their keep up.





That's why its soooo important that your nail tech be more than just a person who applies tips... She/ He should be just like your doctor(educated and informed).





I do more acrylics than gels and wraps because to me they are more durable than the three.





Now when it comes down to the removal process Acrylics and Wraps are removed the same way with 100% acetone, while Gels have to be drilled off with an electric file. Now there are gels out there that can be removed just like acrylics and wraps and they are called NO-Light Gels(which I prefer to work with-because they are not as time consuming as regular gels). Gels are easier to break than acrylics because when you break an acrylic the tip just pops off and more than likely you are left with the new growth(if any), but if Gels break they shatter like glass and nine times out of 10 you lose the whole tip including the new growth.What do all of the different types of fake nails mean (acrylic, silk wrap, etc.), which is the most natural?
