Style Your Pretty Fingers With Gel Nail Polish
A gel manicure is a type of manicure that uses UV light to set the polish. Unlike acrylic manicures, the gel is not primarily used to strengthen the nail, but to make the polish last days longer than a typical nail polish application. A gel manicure can be done at a salon or at home with the right equipment that you can purchase from eBay.
How long does a gel manicure last?The reason why so many people love gel manicures is that it will last much longer than a typical nail polish application. A gel nail polish can last as long as two weeks or more depending on how well you take care of your nails while it is on.
