HONEST Gel X Vs. Acrylic Opinion- Nail Tech
Okkkk so as a beginner nail tech who strictly does acrylic I’ll be the first one to tell you truth. Acrylic is not easy to do. Gel X can be done well by someone with very little experience but acrylic can not. So you are better off going to a beginner Gel X tech rather than a beginner acrylic tech.
