The four types of nail polish are: regular nail polish, gel, shellac, and acrylic. Regular nail polish is the type of polish you probably first started using when you were younger. It’s easy to apply and remove at home, and typically lasts around a week before it starts to chip. Gel is a long-lasting polish that can be applied at home or in the salon and can be used to extend your nail length; it cures under UV light and lasts for 2-3 weeks. Shellac is a patented brand by Creative Nail Design (CND); it’s part gel, part regular nail polish, cures under UV light and lasts 2-3 weeks. Acrylic nails are part liquid, part powder, and can also be used to extend your nail length. Acrylic starts to cure as soon as it’s exposed to air, and lasts for 6-8 weeks.

A nail polish treatment includes nail shaping, cuticle care, and the application of a chosen nail polish colour. Options include regular (air-dry) polish for a classic finish, or gel polish cured under UV/LED light for a longer-lasting, chip-resistant result.

Consider your skin tone, occasion, and outfit. Nudes and pinks suit everyday wear; bold reds and deep tones are popular for events; pastels and neons work well in warmer months. Your nail technician can suggest shades that complement your colouring.

Soak a cotton wool pad in an over-the-counter nail polish remover, alcohol, or hand sanitizer, then place the pad on your nail for 10 seconds before rubbing it gently back and forth to remove the polish.
