Acrylic Nail Enhancements
Odyssey Nail Systems is built on the principles of supplying superior products and first class education. O.N.S Advanced Monomers is a low odor, 100% ethyl Methacrylates blended monomer with U. V. inhibitors and added plasticizers. This perfect monomer, contrary to the cheap bulk product, maintains brilliance, can be soaked off rather than filed off and stabilizers the colours of the acrylic polymers (powder) for astonishing result on your fingertip
UV Gel Nails Enhancements
Gel is commonly called "UV gel" (in correct chemical terms a polymer resin) hardens under ultraviolet light. Depending on brand, these can show a broader variety of quality and properties (flexibility, strength, etc.) but may be more expensive. They generally cannot be removed by organic solvents, but only be removed by filing (or left to grow out with the natural nail).
If a technician propose you ‘powder gel’ and your enhancements are not ‘cured’ under the UV light (blue light), you are not having gel nails but acrylic nail enhancements.
BE AWARE OF THE FAKE. DO NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT!
Which one? Acrylic or Gel Nails?
Acrylics used to be stronger than gel nails, but that has changed a real lot over the past few years. Nowadays, a high quality UV nail gel product's line is usually every bit as strong as acrylics are. Thus, gel nails are just as durable as their counterparts, acrylic nails, when top quality gels are used. The cheap gels are pretty much the same as cheap acrylic products in that neither stands up very well with regards to durability, and both will yellow over time. In addition, some very expensive gel yellow over time. The use of high quality products for either acrylic, or gel nails makes a lot of difference in the strength, the look and feel of the finished nails, and also do not yellow like the cheap ones do. Anyway, acrylic nails are the good old standard of nail enhancements. It seems like everywhere you go, salons are doing nothing but acrylic nails. That is slowly changing. More and more salons are offering UV gel nails to their customers. Some salons are 'gel only' and do not offer acrylic nails. Some good points about gel nails are - as I mentioned already, their strength and durability. They are also non-yellowing when good products are used. Gel nails are also non-toxic, are odorless, and are more realistic than acrylic nails are. Gel nails also feel more realistic too and are 'lightweight' meaning you cannot really tell you are wearing 'fake' nails. It is true that you can go a bit longer between fills, though not all that much longer - maybe a week or so longer than you would for acrylics. However, that also depends on the skill level of the tech who applies them. If they are applied correctly, they will not lift. This in turn means getting fills less often. If they aren't applied correctly, or if you are prone to lifting no matter what then you will need fills more often. Typically, for acrylic nails, a fill every 2 weeks is normal.
Gel nails are not harmful to your nails, nor are acrylic nails. An unskilled tech can create problems like thinning of the natural nails happen in the first place. An experienced and highly skilled technician who uses the best quality products will not let this happen to you.
