Nail Tech needs help!!!!

My employer is pushing me to begin doing gel nails as not many people in our town do them. My question, what are the pros and cons instead of acrylic????

I don't agree with the fact your employer is forcing you to do Gel. I don't think anyone should do something unless they want to. are you even certified to do gel? there are a lot of pro's and cons. Gel: Basically need a perfect nail to pull them off. can't get a crisp white smile line like acrylic. they are very dusty when filing. lift easier on a lot of people. are often the only thing that works on someone with their hands in water a lot. Some think they look more natural. But thats because you can't get a white that is REALLY white so they match more of that natural white look. Comes in colors. Acrylic: Covers flaws on the nail. Available in many shades of white and pink to match up to different skin tones to get a more natural look. Stronger than Gel. Great for nail biters. Comes in different colors and sparkles for colored tips when doing French.
