The difference between gel nails and acrylic nails is in its application, material used and curing process.

Acrylic nails are created using a powder and liquid called monomer. It is applied to the nail and is cured when exposed to air. It then creates a hard shell over the nail.

Gels nails however is created from a gel like substance which is applied to the natural nail and cured via a UV light. Gel nails have a more natural finish.
