UV NAIL GEL : WHY IT’S THE MOST DURABLE NAIL POLISH

In the vast and growing market of nail enamel, UV nail gel is a new addition. It is different from the more common acrylic nails. While acrylic nails are a way to extend nails, simply creating fake nails, UV nail gel is a kind of durable nail paint. However it requires a careful application. The process consists of UV light and can damage nails or cause infection if not applied with proper care.

Here are a few things about nail gel you need to know :

Types

UV gel is of two types : soft gel and hard gel.

While soft gel is simply used as a nail paint, hard gel is a nail building and sculpting gel. Soft gel simply dries up when cured under UV lamp. Hard gel, on the other hand hardens up and creates a thick layer over the natural nail and thus can be used as an extension. It is a kind of alternate to the conventionally used acrylic fake nails. While the gel hardens under the UV light, it may cause some sensation since it is tightening over your natural nail.

Why Nail Gel?

Nail gel is a better alternate of both regular nail lacquer and acrylic nails. While regular nail paints are susceptible to chipping, losing its shine easily, soft UV gel lasts longer and does not crack or chip away. On the other hand, as an alternative of acrylic paint, it is strong and yet flexible and this is more comfortable and gives a natural look.

How To Apply

Applying a UV gel isn’t too difficult but you still need to be careful. We recommend professional help to apply UV nail gel. Although you can do it at home, a little carefulness never hurts.

Concerns

Although nail gel is an efficient alternative to normal nail enamel, there are things you should be careful about. The UV lamp used for curing the gel nails can be harmful to your skin if exposed for a longer duration. However, following the instructions carefully and using sunscreen can help protect your skin. Besides, you can also opt for LED lamps instead of UV lamps which is a safer option.

Nail gels can dehydrate your nails. But a little vaseline or your favourite nail hydrating serum can easily solve that.
