Choosing between Acrylic Nails or Gel Nails

If you are always knee deep in water, cleaning, washing and scrubbing at very speck that may lie on your kitchen marble-top, then you must go for Acrylic Nails. But if you tend to spend less time trying to keep all the dust of the house, and do not spend most of the day with your hands in a bucket, then Gel Nails are the right choice for you!

Acrylic Nails

One of the most popular inventions in nail grooming and care are Acrylic Nails.

Many times people who are unable to naturally grow their nails for varied reasons opt for Acrylic Nails. Some people have extremely brittle nails that just cannot grow beyond a certain point.

Sometimes people get acrylic mails fixed simply for a particular function or occasion when they want to look their best, which includes their nails. There are yet others who fix acrylic nails simply to curtail their nail biting habit. No one would want to bite expensive and exquisitely designed nails!

One of the main attractions of acrylic nails is that because of their length, our nail technician and nail artist can imprint unique nail art designs that could be the envy of many eyes. One of the latest trends is that of nail piercing, which is possible only with long and strong nails and this is where acrylic nails play their role.


Gel Nails

Gel Nails are becoming very popular in Malta. Although not as strong as Acrylic Nails, many are opting for Gel Nails because Gel Nails are truly natural looking: flexible, clear, thin, non-yellowing, nonporous, etc.

Gel nails can be used for natural nail overlays, tip overlays, and sculpted onto forms for short extensions, and to help encapsulate a damage free-edge as it grows out.

The ultimate long-term goal with gels is for you to end up growing out and wearing your own long, strong, beautiful, healthy nails under the gel; so that you are no longer to be considered wearing artificial nails, but with the gel becoming essentially just a very strong, bonded base coat to protect your own nails from cracking, splitting, peeling, chipping, etc.

Wouldn't it be better to feel that you are now wearing a nail enhancement, not "fake" nails? And the enhancement need never be removed, only maintained on a regular schedule!

Just as hair colour is an enhancement of your natural hair, not "fake" hair, and can be maintained indefinitely. Gel nail enhancements are your own natural nail... only better!


And gels are totally compatible and complementary to other salon add-on services such as paraffin wax or hand facials, to complete the total hand beauty regimen.
