They're perfect for clients who have dry, brittle nails as they provide a lightweight flexible feel to the nails.

The gel is brushed on like polish and then cured under a UV light to harden the nails. can be applied over a natural nail or plastic tip, or they can be sculptured.

Clients choose gel over acrylic because of preference- they can be much more shinier than the acrylics or they may not be able to wear acrylics for whatever reason such as an oily nail bed (acrylic doesn't stay on well) or sensitivities to the product. We do much more acrylic than gel nails. They seem to hold up on the nails better. See similar questions...
