  1. When it comes to longevity, here’s a quick rundown comparing gel, acrylic, and dip powder nails:

    1. Acrylic Nails
    Last the longest: Typically 2 to 3 weeks, sometimes even up to 4 weeks with good care.

    Durability: Very strong and durable; good for people who want long-lasting and sturdy nails.

    Maintenance: Need fills every 2–3 weeks as your natural nails grow out.

    2. Dip Powder Nails
    Last nearly as long as acrylics: Usually about 3 to 4 weeks.

    Durability: Stronger than gel but slightly less durable than acrylics; more flexible.

    Maintenance: Also require fills every few weeks.

    3. Gel Nails
    Last a bit shorter: Generally 2 to 3 weeks.

    Durability: Less thick and strong than acrylics; more natural-looking and flexible but prone to chipping if nails are weak or nails are very active.

    Maintenance: Need a soak-off removal, which is gentler than acrylic removal.

    Bottom line:
    Acrylic nails tend to last the longest overall, followed closely by dip powder nails, with gel nails usually lasting the shortest time but offering a more natural finish and gentler removal.

    If you want long-lasting with maximum durability, acrylic is usually your best bet. For something that lasts long but feels lighter, dip powder is a great middle ground.
