Did you just get an expensive manicure in a salon or worked hard to give yourself a manicure at home only to see see that pretty nail color getting chipped off within a day? Well, then you need to consider the gel nail polish that several women are considering.

The gel nail paints are an alternative to the regular nail paints and becoming a must have in every woman's beauty weapons list as it is long lasting and doesn’t chip off like the regular nail paints. If your regular manicure lasts for about two days when you take care, then this nail paint can go for days or even last for more than a week and still look like it has been applied recently. This is impossible with the regular nail paints.

This means a lot to women as going for manicures frequently and applying nail paints every single day is not possible in this fast paced life. Women can do household chores and anything else without worrying that their nail paint will get spoilt.

Just like you do in a regular manicure, you need to apply two coats of gel nail paint over the base coat and then finish it with a final fourth layer on the top. However, after every coat, the nail paint should be dried off with the help of UV lamp. Thus making sure it doesn’t come off for weeks.
