Gel nail paint and ordinary nail paint differ in several ways, including their formula, application process, durability, and removal method.
Formula: Gel nail paint contains a gel-like substance that requires curing under a UV or LED light, whereas ordinary nail paint contains solvents that evaporate to leave a hardened coating.
Application Process: Gel nail paint requires a base coat, two coats of color, and a top coat, with each layer being cured under the UV or LED light for a few seconds. Ordinary nail paint only requires one or two coats applied and air-dried.
Durability: Gel nail paint is more durable than ordinary nail paint, as it is resistant to chipping and can last for up to three weeks. Ordinary nail paint can chip and peel off within a few days.
Removal Method: Gel nail paint requires a special removal process, which involves soaking the nails in acetone for several minutes to dissolve the gel. Ordinary nail paint can be removed with regular nail polish remover.
Overall, gel nail paint is a better option for those looking for a long-lasting, chip-resistant manicure, while ordinary nail paint is suitable for those who prefer a quick, easy application and removal process.
