Whether you do them yourself or head to the salon to bring your nail dreams to life, it’s important to consider the type of manicure you’re looking for. If you want to cycle through the season’s hottest trends, traditional polish might be best; if you’re hoping for a longer-lasting nail look, gel manicures are the way to go. Generally speaking, gel polish is more convenient for busy folks (since it dries as soon as it’s cured) and those who love nail art (given you can cure each layer for a quick artistic application).
So, unsurprisingly, we often find ourselves gravitating toward gels. And while you might not be able to experiment with as many trends when you go for a gel manicure, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style for wear.
