When it comes to a manicure, the non-gel and gel debate can be confusing. Both types have their own perks and look great too, making it hard to choose. Whether you’re looking for something that sits longer or nails’ health is more important to you, knowing the differences will help you choose right. You can head down to Nail Queen Far East Plaza to find whichever option suits you best.
Durability and Longevity.
Durable is one of the main advantages of a gel manicure. The gel polish hardens under a UV light, which makes it last much longer than the regular variety. A gel manicure may last up to two weeks without chipping, and anyone looking for a long-lasting appearance powder manicure is great. On the contrary, a non-gel polish will only last up to a week before it starts chipping. Most people who regularly use their hands or want their manicure to be perfect for a longer period of time tend to go gel.
However, other customers at our nail salon Singapore like to choose a non-gel polish for easy removal. Regular nail polish can be removed using acetone, unlike gel polish that requires soaking for an extended period and scraping. Some people love changing their nail polish often so they want non-gel manicure, which is easy to remove and hassle-free as well.
Impact on Nail Health.
It is essential to consider your nail health when picking between gel and non-gel manicures. Gel polish can be safe when applied and removed properly. But using gel too often can cause your nails to become weaker. When removing gel polish, nails are often soaked in acetone that dries out the nail bed and cuticles. Peeling happens sometimes due to improper removal.
If you’re worried about your nails, a non-gel polish at Nail Queen Far East Plaza might be a better option. Since it does not need any soaking out, damage is less likely to occur. In addition, non-gel manicures usually have less chemical components which is less harsh on nails. If you want to maintain nails that look like your natural nails, you may go non-gel.
