Gel vs. Acrylic: Which Nail Type Lasts Longer in Dubai?

When it comes to choosing the perfect nails, one question always pops up: Gel or acrylic—which one lasts longer, especially in Dubai’s climate? Between the scorching sun, beach days, and busy lifestyles, your nails go through a lot. At Eyana Ladies Salon, we’ve helped hundreds of clients choose the perfect nail treatment, and here’s the ultimate breakdown for you.




What is the difference between gel and acrylic nails?

acrylic nails

Mixed by mixing a liquid monomer with a powder polymer, acrylic becomes hard because they are exposed to air. They are strong, adaptable, and ideal for creating length and shape.

Gel nails

Gel nails are regularly applied like Polish but heal under a UV or LED lamp. They give a bright finish and feel light on the nails. They are flexible and more natural-looking than acrylic.

🕒 Longevity: Which One Lasts Longer in Dubai?

Acrylic nails: 3 to 4 weeks

Acrylic nails are slightly more durable under extreme conditions. If you are often using air-conditioned environments or your hands, they can last up to a month with proper care.


Gel Nails: 2 to 3 weeks

The gel nails usually last for about 2-3 weeks and are prone to lifting when exposed to excessive heat and moisture (beach days, sauna, or washing dishes without gloves).
Winner:
💥 acrylic lasts a little longer, especially if you are active or living that outdoor Dubai life.

🔥 Which one handles the weather in Dubai better?

Acrylic is hard and less likely to rise under warm sun or poolside humidity.

Gel nails, while beautiful and shiny, can start peeling fast in contact with high humidity or water if not maintained properly.

💖 Which nail is better for health?

If your priority is nail health and flexibility:

The gel is gentler on natural nails.


Acrylic may be rigid if not applied and removed properly.

At Eyana, we prioritize safe removal and proper application to ensure your nails stay healthy, no matter what you choose.



🧖‍♀️ Expert Tip from Eyana’s Nail Technicians

Always use cuticle oil daily and wear gloves while doing household chores—this boosts the life of both gel and acrylic nails, especially in Dubai’s drying heat!

Final Verdict

If you’re looking for long-lasting, durable nails in Dubai’s climate, acrylic nails take the win. But if you prefer a natural, glossy finish and don’t mind touch-ups every 2–3 weeks, gel nails are your go-to.
