    At home fall nails vs. salon nails:

    While you can do so many fall nail ideas at home with gel manicure kits, it can be a little intimidating to some who are not as steady with their hands or just generally prefer the pampered experience at their local nail salon.

    While gel polish manicures will generally last longer than traditional polish (usually 2-3 weeks for a gel manicure), there are traditional polish brands that boast several weeks of wear from their products and you don’t have the longer gel removal process at home if you choose to take off your own polish.

    Some of the trickier techniques like chrome or magnetic polish also might be a little easier in the hands of a professional, but if you have a gel nail kit at home, they are looks that are fun to try and master.

    Of course, doing a press-on nail is the easiest way to get your perfect fall style at home by yourself, so there’s no shame in finding your favorite look and grabbing your nail glue.
