Are solar nails better than acrylic nails?

I'm getting my nails done for the first time and i wanna know if i should get the silk wrap, gel, solar, or just regular acrylics. I'm so confused, what's the difference anyway?Are solar nails better than acrylic nails?
Wraps are like a cloth that is glued on to your nails (only very hard). Gels are clear and more natural looking. They are more flexible, too. If you do not have a good nail tech though, they can be bumpy and rigid as the point is to not sand them down. Solar nails are where the tip is white so it is like a permanent french manicure. Regular acrylics are the best if it is your first time. Make sure you do your research!! If the place is wearing masks, they are using a product that contains MMA which is illegal in the US but still sold via black market in many asian countries. It is TERRIBLE for your nails and your body.Are solar nails better than acrylic nails?
Sorry, I get hung up on one topic too often. I should have just answered your question and left my opinions out of it...

Solar nails are NOT something new, and better than acrylic nails. These so-called solar nails ARE acrylic nails. Plain and simple. 99% of the time, it is an Asian salon or tech who calls pink %26amp; whites ';Solar Nails.'; I'm NOT trying to be racist here by any means. I don't have to be. It's just that the plain facts speak for themselves. And what I said is a fact. Many times, they will try to sell you on these overpriced acrylic nails by telling you ';it better for you' and ';it stronger.'; Lasts longer too. Oh bull. It's the same exact same acrylic used no matter what. The one and only difference is that they use a white ACRYLIC powder on your free edge of the nail. P%26amp;W's have been around for many years now. They are nothing new. Don't be fooled into thinking that solar nails are better than acrylic nails. Why? One last time - because they ARE acrylic nails.

  1. Solar Nails ARE acrylic nails. They are just a particular brand of acrylic. My company manufactures acrylic & gel nail products - we make white powders (for the free edge) and pink and clear powders (for the nail bed). A lot of salons use one color over the whole nail enhancement and then airbrush the white. Just because the tech is sculpting the white, doesn't mean it isn't acrylic. It's liquid and powder right? Well, then it's acrylic.
