Acrylic Nails
# Acrylic nails are the most common type of fake nails. They are made using an artificial nail tip with acrylic nail liquid and powder to shape it. An acrylic nail is thicker than a real nail and can develop a yellow discoloration after a couple of weeks.

Solar Nails
# Solar nails are similar to acrylic but use a different material that is more like a natural nail. They last longer, are more durable, and do not turn yellow like acrylic nails.

Gel Nails
# Gel nails are done using an ultra-violet light. They are more natural looking and have a high-gloss appearance to them.
