Gel Nails vs. Regular Polish

Which One Lasts Longer?

Ever wonder why gel nails stay flawless for weeks while regular polish chips after a few days?

The secret lies in science and salon skill.

Gel polish is cured under UV or LED light, creating a hard, glossy finish that resists scratches and chips. Regular polish, on the other hand, simply air-dries—making it more vulnerable to daily wear and tear. While gel manicures last up to three weeks, they also protect your natural nails from breaking.

If you’re after a lasting shine with minimal upkeep, gel is the way to go. However, if you enjoy switching colours often or prefer a more budget-friendly option, regular polish still has its place.
