Can gel nail polish damage your nails?

Improper application or removal of gel nail polish can potentially damage your nails. It's essential to follow proper techniques and give your nails breaks between gel manicures to prevent damage.

What is the difference between gel nail polish and regular nail polish?

Gel nail polish requires curing under a UV or LED lamp to dry and harden, resulting in a longer-lasting finish compared to regular nail polish, which air-dries. Gel polish also tends to be more chip-resistant.

Can you apply gel nail polish without a UV lamp?

No, gel nail polish requires a UV or LED lamp to cure properly. Attempting to air-dry gel polish will result in an incomplete curing process, leading to a soft, tacky finish that easily smudges.
