nail gel

Cured polish type

Nail gel is a thick, resin-based polish applied to fingernails or toenails and cured under UV or LED light to create a durable, glossy finish.

Unlike regular polish, gel manicures resist chipping for weeks: My nail gel still looks perfect after two weeks.

Removal typically requires soaking in acetone.
