♦ Regular Manicure
• A regular manicure uses traditional nail polish that air-dries. The process involves nail shaping, cuticle care, base coat, color application, and topcoat.
• Drying time can take up to 60 minutes, and the polish can be easily smudged if you’re not careful right after.
♦ GEL Manicure
• Gel manicure is the same process except the polish is applied in layers and cured under LED lamp after each coat.
• This curing process hardens the polish instantly, so there is no need to wait for it to dry.
♦ Regular Manicure
• Lasts around 3–5 days before chipping, depending on your activity level and aftercare.
♦ GEL Manicure
• Can last up to 3 weeks or more with proper care and is highly resistant to chips and smudges, making it ideal for travel, events, or busy schedules.
♦ Regular Manicure
• Has a good shine initially, but may dull over time.
♦ GEL Manicure
• High-gloss, fresh looking nails that last throughout its wear.
♦ Regular Manicure
• Easily removed with regular nail polish remover.
♦ GEL Manicure
• Requires professional removal or soaking in acetone, as peeling it off can damage your natural nails.
• If you’re someone who frequently changes polish or prefers a more natural look, normal polish may be better suited.
• If you need long-lasting results and have healthy nails, gel manicures are a great option!
