GEL NAIL POLISH
There’s a reason why gel nail polish has become a modern beauty mainstay: it's virtually indestructible and impossibly glossy. However, the most enticing aspect of a gel mani? Zero risk in chipping your polish the minute you dig through your handbag to check your phone — not to mention, for several weeks to come.
Gel polishes are comprised of stronger ingredients that grasp the nail tighter than traditional lacquers and are strong enough to stand up to daily wear and tear without chipping. Gel polishes are more flexible, so they stand up to chips; gels are cured under a UV or LED lamp and polishes cure in oxygen.
BENEFITS OF GEL NAIL POLISH
Gel polish is thicker than ordinary nail polish. The primary feature distinguishing it from a classic manicure is a part of the curing application process since gel nail polish does not dry naturally.
​
Curing refers to placing your nails under an LED or UV light to activate the chemical process that dries each coat of polish. Given that gel nail application has additional time for the polish to cure, you can leave your at-home appointment immediately with perfectly dried nails.
With a quick-drying, durable formula, gel polish hardly chips. Your gel manicure is highly resistant to chipping or smudging, and the colour will stay as bright and shiny as it was on day one. While gel polish is generally said to last at least two weeks, your gel manicure may last as long as one month — or as long as you want to keep it. The only long-term side effect of wearing gel nails for a while is that your nail will eventually grow out.
