When it comes to nail art, one question never goes out of style: Should I choose gel nail polish or regular nail polish? Both have their loyal fans, but if you’re new to nail care or want to understand what makes them different, this guide will help.
At rarjsm, we believe that knowledge is beauty. So let’s break it down for you.
What is Regular Nail Polish?
Formula: Made with traditional solvents and resins.
Application: Quick and easy—you just brush it on and let it air dry.
Longevity: Usually lasts 2–5 days before chipping.
Removal: Comes off easily with acetone-free nail polish remover.
Best For: Quick color changes, casual wear, or when you want to switch up your nail look often.
What is Gel Nail Polish?
Formula: Uses special polymers that harden under a UV LED nail lamp.
Application: Requires curing under a lamp, but creates a glossy, chip-resistant finish.
Longevity: Can last up to 2–3 weeks without peeling or fading.
Removal: Needs soaking in acetone or using professional removal wraps.
Best For: Long-lasting manicures, nail art designs like cat eye gel nails, chrome effects, or holiday looks.
