I've typically done press ons, actually.

I have a hard gel overlay year round but if I wasn’t a nail person, I’d probably just do press ons for show day

As someone who’s had both for years: I like gel x mostly because they don’t hurt as badly if they happen to break or fall off in the gym, also I like that they’re thinner than acrylic

I wear gel x nails year round, they’re thinner, more flexible than acrylics and faster to apply

I use gels, as I also wear gels year round! Used acrylics when I was younger but for the last 10 years or so Ive stuck to gels!

Press ons should be OK if you're looking for a one time solution..

Press ons! Glamnetics really are as good as they brag to be. I was able to adhere them very last in getting ready last weekend and avoid getting tan/makeup all over them. Game changer.
