Gel nails and nails applied with glue are two different types of artificial nails, and they have some differences in terms of their application method, durability, and removal process.

Gel nails are applied by brushing a gel-like substance onto the natural nails, which is then cured under a UV lamp to harden and create a long-lasting, glossy finish. Gel nails are known for their durability and can last up to three weeks without chipping or peeling. They can also be easily removed by soaking in acetone.

Nails applied with glue, on the other hand, are usually pre-made artificial nails that come with adhesive glue tabs or liquid glue. The pre-made nails are placed over the natural nails, and the adhesive is used to secure them in place. These nails are typically less durable than gel nails and may last only a few days to a week, depending on how well they are applied and maintained. They can be removed by soaking in warm water or using a nail polish remover that contains acetone.

In summary, gel nails are more durable and longer-lasting, while nails applied with glue are quicker to apply and easier to remove. Both types of artificial nails can be used to achieve a variety of looks and styles, depending on your personal preference and needs.
