Different nail shapes and names how to#
How to take it off: You’ll need cotton pads, acetone, aluminum foil and a cuticle pusher to try the soaking method at home.
How long it lasts: About two to three weeks with no chips. How long it takes: 45 minutes to an hour. It’s less harder than gel (and soaks off with acetone), but it’s tougher and more flexible to wear than a basic manicure. The word Shellac is actually just the trademark name of CND, the first company to invent and register this type of polish. It’s basically a hybrid of gel and nail polish that’s cured and hardened with a UV light, so zero drying time baby. This is probably what you’re getting when you book a gel mani. Simply put: Don’t expect this one to last more than a week. The downsides: It’s prone to chipping quicker and losing its shine than most manicures (even with a good top coat). It’s an easy process and removal allows little to no room for splitting or breaking nails. A basic manicure is one of the safest types of manicures from the bunch. How it affects nail health: Wear it as often as you like-it has no negative affect. Grab some polish remover and cotton pads and you’re good to go. How long it lasts: About five days with no chips. Just make sure you spend ample time under the nail dryer or you'll risk those dreaded dings on the way out.Ĭost: $10 to $30 per application (but cheaper if you consider no nail polish or do it at home). The standard manicure also comes with a trim, shape and buffing process-with cuticle time too.
Paint it on yourself or hit up your manicure spot for a pristine application (complete with hand massage, might we add). It’s among the most popular and affordable options on the list.
