I am going to the beach soon and I am having difficulty deciding which type of artificial nail to get. I have heard that acrylics do not bode well with sand and/or water, but then I have heard the same for gel nails. I would just be getting a french tip on either. If any of y'all have experiences you'd like to share, I would be forever grateful! Thanks in advance!

Gel would be easier for just the beach!

Get fakies from the drug store, that way you ll be able to take them off easily after the beach... that s how I do it.

Definitely gel! Acrylics would get sand in them. And plus are a pain to take off.

Personally gel didn't work for me! the paint chipped and one of them broke. acrylics are my favorite and I don't have any sand underneath (I live a mile from the beach)
