nails

Can anyone please tell me the benefits of gel or acrylic nails? Which would you choose. I had acrylic a few years ago and they ruined my real nails.

Basically, they both ruin your nails but acrylic can be soaked off with acetone and so are a slightly better choice. Saying that, your original nails will be softer and weaker from the filing prior to application and break off anyway. You're probably better off buying a nail protecting serum or product such as Sall Hanson's Teflon nails which I've always found to work providing you use it regularly.
