Gel polish is a long-lasting nail colour that is cured under a LED lamp to harden. It looks similar to normal nail polish but is much more durable and glossy.
Simple explanation
Gel polish is basically colour that becomes hard when placed under a lamp, creating a manicure that usually lasts 2 weeks without chipping.
* Thin coating on the natural nail
* Very high shine finish
* Chip-resistant for weeks
* Soaks off with acetone for removal
Hard gel is a thick builder gel used to strengthen the natural nail or create nail extensions. It cures in a LED lamp and becomes very strong once hardened. Unlike softer gels, hard gel cannot be soaked off with acetone — it must be filed off or infilled.
Simple explanation
Hard gel is a strong sculpting gel used to build structure or length on nails.
Think of it as:
* Creating long nail extensions
* Strengthening weak or flexible nails
* Building a structured apex
* Sculpting shapes like coffin, almond, stiletto
