Unsure which manicure you’re getting next? You might want to read up on the different types first!
Find out which one will fit you depending on your preferred style and purpose for getting a mani.
5. regular polish
A basic manicure session is usually 30 minutes to an hour with the polish lasting between 4-7 days. The quick application and removal benefits people who want to constantly change nail colors whether to match their looks for formal events and special occasions or just their current mood for the week.
4. gel polish
Gel polish takes about an hour to apply and will last for two to three weeks. Compared to regular polish, this type is less likely to chip off, so it’s ideal for those traveling and want their manicure to look good as new throughout the trip.
3. acrylic nails
Putting on acrylics is like having a new set of nails, so the process requires a much longer time. Application can reach up to 2 hours, and you can wear it for 2 to 3 weeks. If you want your nails long and shaped à la Kylie Jenner, then acrylic nails is your best bet!
2. dip powder
A quicker and beginner-friendly option to acrylic or gel nails is dip powder, which you can do from the comfort of your own home. Application only takes the same amount of time as a regular polish, but the nails could last up to a whole month! You can even customize the length and shape according to your liking.
1. press on nails
If you don’t have time to go to the salon or even paint your own nails at home, press on nails will be your saving grace. Applying these needs only 10 minutes, yet will stay on for two weeks. It comes in a variety of designs, so you don’t have to worry about finding one that matches your looks or mood.
