Soft Gel vs. Hard Gel: What’s the Difference? A Comparison of Their Pros and Cons

When it comes to getting a manicure at nail salon, one of the biggest dilemmas is choosing between soft gel and hard gel. If you want your nails to look more natural and beautiful, soft gel manicures are the way to go. However, if you’re looking to extend the length of your nails or create more elaborate and dramatic nail designs, hard gel may be the better choice. So, what are the differences between them, and what are their respective advantages and disadvantages? Let’s take a closer look at the comparison below.

What is Gel Nail?
Gel nails, also known as resin nails or gel polish, involve using natural resin that is hardened under an LED light to strengthen and shape the surface of the nails. Gel nails can be used for both nail enhancement and nail art designs. Generally, gel nails are divided into two types: soft gel and hard gel.

What is Soft Gel?
Soft gel, also known as soak-off gel, gets its name because it can be easily removed by soaking the nails in nail polish remover. Soft gel manicures are thinner and more translucent, resulting in a more natural look. They are suitable for short to medium-length nails but are not as strong as hard gel for nail extensions. As a result, the choices for nail art designs in soft gel manicures are somewhat limited, typically involving single-color polish or simple decorative drawings on the nails.

After applying soft gel polish, it is cured and hardened by UV or LED light for approximately 30 seconds, enhancing the hardness and durability of the nails. Soft gel manicures generally last for about 2 to 4 weeks.

What is Hard Gel?
Hard gel, as the name suggests, is more rigid and durable compared to soft gel. It is used for nail extensions and allows you to increase the length of your nails. With hard gel, you can shape your nails into various desired forms, such as long and slender stiletto or elegant oval shapes.

After a hard gel manicure, the nails become hard and sturdy, making it suitable for repairing damaged nails. Additionally, hard gel allows for more elaborate nail art designs, such as crystal and rhinestone decorations that require a stronger base.

Hard gel manicures also require UV or LED light for curing and hardening. Due to their higher hardness, hard gel nails are more resistant to daily wear and tear and less prone to breakage. With proper care, hard gel manicures can last approximately 3 to 4 weeks. However, the removal process for hard gel is more complex and typically requires professional filing by a nail technician to avoid thinning the nails and affecting their health.

Pros and Cons of Soft Gel vs. Hard Gel

AdvantangesDisadvantages
Soft GelSlightly enhances nail strength without damaging the natural nails.
Can be easily removed with nail polish remover.
Shorter manicure time, usually taking about an hour.
Cannot achieve nail extensions or significant nail shape corrections.
Nails are softer and more prone to damage.
Relatively shorter durability, typically lasting 2 to 4 weeks.
Hard GelAllows for nail lengthening and shaping.
Provides a harder surface that can repair and protect natural nails.
Resistant to chipping and longer-lasting, usually lasting 3 to 4 weeks.
Offers a wide range of manicure options, from solid colors to intricate 3D designs.
Complex removal process, requiring professional filing.
Longer manicure time, usually taking about two hours.
Slightly higher cost compared to soft gel.

The choice between Soft Gel and Hard Gel depends on personal preferences and expectations for nail art results. When making a decision, consider factors such as nail length, desired nail art designs, durability, and maintenance requirements.

If you’re looking for professional advice that is tailored to your individual needs, it’s best to consult with a professional nail technician.

Soft Gel vs Hard Gel: 兩種Gel甲優點缺點比較

在美甲店做指甲時,最大的困擾之一就是選擇 Soft Gel 還是 Hard Gel。如果你希望指甲看起來更自然美麗,Soft Gel 美甲是不錯的選擇。然而,如果你想要延長指甲的長度或者創造更精美華麗的指甲設計,Hard Gel 可能更適合。那麼,它們之間有什麼不同,各自的優缺點是什麼呢?讓我們仔細比較一下。

Gel甲是甚麼?
Gel甲,也被稱為樹脂甲或者光療甲,是使用天然樹脂在LED燈下加固硬化,以加強和塑造指甲表面的一種方法。Gel甲可以用於指甲增長和 Nail Art 設計,一般來說分為Soft Gel和Hard Gel兩種類型。

Soft Gel是甚麼?
Soft Gel,也被稱為 Soak-off Gel,因為可以通過浸泡指甲在缷甲水中輕鬆去除而得名。Soft Gel 比較薄,更透明,呈現出更自然的外觀。它適用於短到中長度的指甲,但對於延長指甲來說,Soft Gel 不像 Hard Gel 那麼堅固。因此,Soft Gel 的 Nail Art 設計選擇相對有限,通常只包括單色指甲油或者簡單的圖案裝飾。在塗上 Soft Gel 指甲油後,需要使用紫外線或者LED燈進行約30秒的固化和硬化,增強指甲的硬度和耐久性。Soft Gel 通常可以持續大約2到4個星期。

Hard Gel是甚麼?
Hard Gel 如其名,比較堅硬和耐用。它用於延長指甲,使你的指甲長度增加。使用 Hard Gel,你可以塑造出各種你想要的形狀,例如細長的尖頭形狀或者優雅的橢圓形狀。經過 Hard Gel 美甲後,指甲變得堅硬且牢固,特別適合用來修復受損的指甲。此外,Hard Gel 還可以進行更複雜的 Nail Art 設計,例如需要更堅固基底的水晶和鑲嵌設計。Hard Gel 美甲也需要使用紫外線或者LED燈進行固化和硬化。由於 Hard Gel 更硬,指甲更耐磨損,不容易斷裂。在適當的護理下,Hard Gel 美甲可以持續大約3到4個星期。然而,Hard Gel 的卸甲過程比較複雜,通常需要專業美甲師使用打磨工具進行卸甲,以避免指甲變薄並影響指甲的健康。

Soft Gel 和 Hard Gel 的優缺點

優點缺點
Soft Gel稍微增強指甲的堅固度,不損害自然指甲。
可以通過缷甲水輕鬆卸除。
美甲需時較短,通常需要約一小時。
無法進行指甲延長或者進行顯著的指甲形狀修正。
指甲較軟,更容易受損。
耐久性相對較短,通常持續2到4個星期。
Hard Gel允許指甲延長和塑形。
提供一個更堅硬的表面,可以修復和保護自然指甲。
抗剝落性好,持久性較長,通常持續3到4個星期。
提供多種美甲選擇,從單色, 彩繪到複雜的3D設計都適合。
卸甲過程較複雜,需要專業使用打磨工具。
美甲需時較長,通常需要約兩個小時。
相對較高的成本。

Soft Gel 和 Hard Gel 的選擇取決於個人喜好和對美甲的期望結果。在做出決定時,請考慮指甲的長度、期望的 Nail Art 設計、耐久性和護理要求等因素。
想找到更適合你個人形態的專業意見的話,最好就找專業美甲師看一看了。
