What is the difference between gel and resin?

Gels and resins both have the goal of having beautiful nails, but they are two completely different approaches. Today, the nail supply expert Maryton will tell you what are the points of divergence between the two techniques.

The laying method

First of all, the appearance of the gel and that of the resin are quite different. The gel comes in tubes or bottles in a viscous form, while the resin is a powder that must be mixed with a liquid. In addition, the gel requires a UV lamp in order to cure, while the resin can air dry.

The duration and the price of the installation

The duration of the gel application is quite long, because the work is more meticulous, it lasts between one and two hours. The resin is faster to apply, it lasts between 45 minutes and an hour and a half at most if the work requires decorations by hand.

The final result

The final result with gel is much more natural than that with resin. The hold is also better, because with the gel, there is not much detachment. Also, resin can be more harmful to the nail than gel. Indeed, it penetrates the natural nail and makes it slightly yellow.
