Chemically, both types are made of acrylic, but differ in their application. Gel nails are easier to shape than acrylic nails. Here, you don't have a ready-made product to use; instead, you have to mix the powder and liquid yourself directly before applying the nails. With some liquids, the acrylic smell can be unpleasant.
