Many people are uncomfortable with nail polish because it takes a long time to dry and stays on for a short time. In addition, the acetone contained in the polish dries out the nails and requires regular maintenance. That is why I am eagerly awaiting the appearance of a new nail art technique.
Since the polish component of nails is considered detrimental, a different type of nail technology is starting to gain attention. New ways are becoming popular to make up for the shortcomings of existing nail art techniques, such as ease of use, durability, and various designs.

The quick dry time for a typical manicure is about 8 hours, while for gel nails it is 3 to 5 minutes, which is an attractive advantage.
Depending on the lamp used, a special gel is used and a UV device is needed to dry gel nails. After drying, you can enjoy a shine that distinguishes it from normal nail polish. The most significant advantage of gel nails is that they can last longer compared to traditional polish.
It lasts up to 3 weeks and is not easy to remove even with normal remover. Professional help is needed to remove it, and it is feared that the vital ingredients may damage the nails. As it is mainly removed by abrasion of the surface, there is a risk of damaging the nails, so it is recommended to use it at most once a month.
