Is gel or dip better for your nails?

Gel and dip nails each have advantages, and the better option depends on your goals. Gel polish provides a glossy finish and flexibility but requires curing under UV or LED light, which may not be ideal for everyone. Dip powder is often considered stronger and longer lasting, as it involves layering powder onto the nails without light curing. However, removal for both methods can be harsh if not done professionally, sometimes thinning the nails. For nail health, the best choice is whichever method is applied and removed with care. Proper technique and aftercare make the biggest difference in safety.
