What is a Nail Polish?

Nail polish is a product that is applied on the fingernails or toenails to decorate or protect them. It began with the traditional nail paint which requires time to dry off, and in recent years the formula has been developed to create gel nail polishes, which are more durable and provide a glossy finish. Whether you’re looking for gel nail polish or prefer matte nail polishes, SSBeauty has an exclusive collection of a variety of nail polish colors to choose from.

What are the types of Nail Paints?

Whether you love nail art or simply want to paint your nails a different color, choosing the right kind of nail polish is important. Here are the different types of nail paints available:

1. Traditional nail polishes: This is the nail polish that has been around since ages. These need time to dry and are available in matte, shiny and shimmery finishes.
2. Gel nail polish: A trending nail polish that has gained popularity in recent years, gel nail polishes are all the rage now. These offer a glossy manicure and need a UV or LED light to harden and dry. From the nearest salon to even at-home services, you can get gel nails of your desired color anywhere. These usually last for around two weeks. There is also a gel-finish polish that is a traditional nail polish with a high shine finish and greater durability. It does not need UV light to cure and comes off with regular nail polish remover.
3. Acrylic nail paint: Acrylic nail paints come in powder form. This powder needs to be mixed with a monomer to form a sticky liquid that hardens. You could use this to strengthen your nails or build above your nail tips for added length. Acrylic nail paints typically last a good two to three weeks.
4. Polygel nail polish: It is a cross between a gel and acrylic nail polish. Polygel comes in a tube with a gel-like consistency. It can be used to sculpt, shape, fill in and lengthen your nails. It is typically applied on top of your nails or nail extensions with a brush. Just like gel nail polish, polygel is cured with an LED or UV light.

Frequently asked questions on Nail Polish

How do you apply nail polish?

To apply nail polish, follow the below simple steps:
Step 1: It’s best to start by applying nail polish down the center of the nail. Avoid flooding your cuticle.
Step 2: Work your way towards the sides of the nail, pulling it downward.
Step 3: Apply two coats of color and allow each coat to dry in between.

Is it okay to wear nail polish every day?

Technically, wearing nail polish all the time won't hinder the growth of your nails. However, always wearing nail paint will damage your nail bed. That is because nails need air to “breathe”. Hence, taking a break from nail polish every few weeks is recommended.
