GelX, Hard Gel, BIAB or Acrylic?

GelX, Hard Gel, BIAB or Acrylic?

Not sure what to ask for? GelX — lightweight soft-gel tips, natural feel, great for length. Hard gel or Russian gel — a strong overlay that protects your natural nail. BIAB — builder-in-a-bottle, low-maintenance strength (yes, we do it for him too). Acrylic — the durable classic, endlessly customizable.

Still deciding? Bring a photo or just describe the vibe — no question is too basic here, and we'll match you to the right set.
