Gel vs. Dip Powder: Which Is Right for You?

Gel and dip powder are two of the most popular nail enhancement options, but they serve different needs. Gel nails offer a glossy, natural look and are cured under UV or LED light. They typically last two to three weeks and are easy to remove with acetone soak-off.

Dip powder, on the other hand, involves dipping your nails into colored powder and sealing with a clear coat. Dip powder tends to last three to four weeks and is generally considered stronger than gel. If you want flexibility and easy removal, gel is your best bet.

If you want maximum durability and don't mind a slightly thicker nail, dip powder is ideal. Our technicians at 355 Nails Spa can help you choose the perfect option for your lifestyle.
