Semi-permanent vs traditional manicure

 

The choice between semi-permanent and traditional manicure depends on each person, since each has its advantages and disadvantages. 

 

Starting with the semi-permanent manicure, often done with gel polish, it is an increasingly popular option these days. Above all because of these advantages:

 

• Durability: The main advantage of semi-permanent manicure over conventional manicure is its durability. Gel polish can last up to two weeks or even four without peeling or wearing off, which is ideal for painting your nails once a month and not worrying. 
• Fast dry: Unlike traditional polish which can take a long time to dry, gel polish hardens in a matter of minutes under a UV or LED lamp, allowing you to leave the salon with completely dry and strong nails.
• Long-lasting shine: gel polish tends to maintain its shine for a long time, without losing intensity over time. Which always looks more flattering.

 

As for the inconveniences, if you remove it at home you can damage the nail. It is not advisable to do it always, but It is essential to take breaks between painting. 

 

As for traditional manicure, it also has many advantages:

 

• It is easy to apply- Traditional nail polish is easy to apply and does not require the use of special lamps. You can do it yourself at home if you want, how and when you want.
• Many colors to choose from: At iunatural you will see a wide range of nail polishes in different colors, textures and finishes, allowing you to change your style frequently. 
• It is much cheaper: Without a doubt, traditional manicure is cheaper compared to semi-permanent manicure. 
• easy to remove: If you want to change color or simply remove the polish, you can do it at home using conventional nail polish removers without having to visit a beauty salon. It will take you 1 minute. 
• Less risk for nails: It is a reality that traditional polish is less harmful to nails than gel polish, since it does not require the use of UV lamps and does not involve prolonged exposure to light.
