Gel nail polish is a type of nail polish that is cured under a UV or LED lamp to harden and dry quickly. It is known for its long-lasting wear and high-shine finish, and is often preferred by people who want a manicure that lasts for weeks without chipping or fading. Gel nail polish is applied in several layers, including a base coat, the color coat, and a top coat, with each layer cured under the lamp before the next layer is applied. Gel nail polish can be removed by soaking the nails in acetone, which softens and loosens the gel so it can be gently lifted off the nails. It is important to follow proper application and removal procedures to avoid damage to the natural nails.
