Acrylics and Gels are fake nails placed over your natural ones. Both can be made to match the shape of the nail, or to extend it. So, when you want longer nails, you are asking for either Acrylic or Gel extensions. People also get Acrylics and Gels in order to have stronger nails (however, in the long term they actually weaken your natural nail).
Of course Acrylics and Gels are very different products. Different ingredients, different application techniques, and different pros and cons.

ACRYLICS
Acrylic nails are a combination of a liquid monomer and a powder polymer. They create a hard protective layer over your natural nails. The product hardens as it is exposed to the air. Acrylic is transparent. A nail polish is added after.

GELS
Gels are brushed onto your nails in three steps : a base coat, polish color and top coat. Each coat has to be cured (hardened) in an UV light for two to three minutes.
