Acrylic nails and SNS (Signature Nail System) powder dip nails are two types of artificial nail enhancements that have different features, applications, and materials used. Here are some key differences between the two:

Acrylic Nails

• Acrylic nails have been the standard of artificial nails for a long time.
• The application process usually includes mixing the acrylic powder with a liquid to mold and harden it into a beautiful nail.
• Acrylic nails can be painted with any type of polish and detailed nail art can be added to create a polished final product.
• Acrylic nails are generally thicker and more durable than SNS nails.
• Acrylic nails can last up to 2-3 weeks.

SNS Nails

• SNS nails are really just powder dip nails, an artificial nail application process.
• SNS is technically the name of a company that creates a powder dip, so the name SNS has become synonymous with the procedure.
• SNS nails can be used to create length to the natural nail or can be used to create a stronger, more durable overlay to the natural nail.
• SNS nails are thinner than acrylic nails and provide a more natural-looking finish.
• SNS nails can last up to 3 weeks.
• SNS nails are easier to remove than acrylic nails.

When comparing both SNS nails and acrylic nails, each has different features, applications, and materials used. These features can impact how long the nails will last and how durable the final product is. Ultimately, the choice between acrylic nails and SNS nails depends on what you are trying to achieve with your nails.
