Those looking forward to the summer will probably also be thinking about toenail polish. With acetates, colors can become chipped very quickly. This can mean constant re-application of the varnish over the damaged area which is time consuming and can look messy. People who do not want to bother with this instead use nail gels and save themselves time while getting beautiful looking feet.

The top reason for applying gel in place of acetate is the length of time they last; one set can survive well for two weeks. The dried coat is tougher than toenail polish made from acetate, so it will respond better to bumps, scratches and chemicals. This is good news for feet, as the summer months can mean bare feet and scuffed toes. Just one application of nail paint on the toes can mean beautiful looking feet for a whole vacation, with no added stress.

Although gel paints have to be professionally applied and dried, this treatment can be booked less often than regular pedicures. Once the coat is on, it will not need any additional salon appointments until it is time to remove it or change to a new color. The paints in gel toenail polish design are easier to mix together to create new colors and make special effects within the base color. It doesn\’t react to heat in the same way that the traditional solution does, so it can be applied by brush and worked into before being set by UV or LED light. For the customer this means more freedom to decide on patterns and designs.

For most women, they will only get limited numbers of pedicures a year because of the price of doing so. It is often approached as a luxury treatment, as it can be a relaxing session, and people go as much for the nail treatment as they do for the experience. Gels can take a while to apply, which means more time relaxing while they are being created. Due to the sporadic nature of nail sessions, the slight increase in cost for the treatment doesn\’t make too much of a difference on the purse strings.

Any person looking into gel toenail polish color should first understand a couple of other things about the nail paints. Because of the nature of the paint, it will be much more difficult to remove afterwards unless using a dedicated acetone soak or filing method. For those who are concerned about the risks of using UV lights, there is an alternative of using LED lamps instead. With these points in mind, the next step is to schedule the next available appointment with the beautician to have these put on.
