In contrast to ordinary gel nail polish, you do not need a UV lamp in this case. For this reason, the gel nail polish of this type does not last long.
- Conventional gel nails have to be cured under the UV lamp. That’s why they last longer than gel nails without UV light.
- Depending on the brand and manufacturer, the gel nail polish lasts between one and three weeks without UV light. The better you let the nail polish dry, the longer the result will last.
- In addition, the more frequently you come into contact with water and aggressive agents, the faster cracks form in the gel nail polish. The edges and corners can also chip and fall off.
- In contrast, the gel nail polish with UV light is more stable against water and chemical agents.
- To ensure that your gel nail polish lasts longer without UV light, it is best to apply a fresh topcoat every two to three days.
- If parts of your nail polish have chipped off, it is best to remove the gel nail polish with an ordinary nail polish remover. If you don’t have one with you, you can also remove your nail polish without using nail polish remover. In this case, you will have to use a little more force than with ordinary nail polish. Then apply a nourishing and nourishing hand cream to keep your fingernails and cuticles from drying out.
