Performance and Longevity

  1. Wear Time:
    • This refers to how long the polish lasts on your nails.
    • Factors affecting wear time include the quality of the polish, application technique, and individual nail health.
    • Some polishes, like gel formulas, tend to last longer than regular lacquers.
    • Proper nail preparation (clean, dry nails) and using a good base coat can enhance wear time.
  2. Resistance:
    • Nail polish should resist chips, scratches, and everyday wear.
    • High-quality polishes are more resistant to chipping and peeling.
    • Gel polishes generally offer better resistance due to their curing process.
    • Top coats can also improve resistance by adding a protective layer.
