Are gel nails easy for yourself?

You don’t actually need to visit a salon in order to have a professional-level set of gels. Sure, doing your own may seem more intimidating than a traditional mani, but with a bit of practice and the right tools, a near-indestructible manicure of your own doing is totally achievable.

Which is better gel or acrylic nails?
