Nail polish generally does not cause much harm to the body. The main ingredients of nail polish sold on the market are pigments and natural resins. Although the smell is pungent, it has a certain volatility, which prevents harmful gases from entering the human body. During the use of nail polish, a thin film will form on the surface of the nails, which will not corrode the surface of the nails. When using nail polish, be sure to choose products of qualified quality, and reduce the number of uses. Do not use it continuously, and try to leave it for about one to two weeks.

Most of the ingredients of nail polish are volatile solvents, some oily solvents and pigments and other substances. The smell of nail polish is generally pungent and it contains formaldehyde. It is best to use it in a ventilated place to weaken the pungent smell.

Glossiness: In terms of glossiness, for the same color, gel nail polish has much better glossiness than nail polish, it is not easy to evaporate and is easy to dry. Because nail polish contains volatile substances, it will oxidize and turn yellow, so it will gradually lose its glossiness, but the ingredients of gel nail polish itself are more natural, so it will last longer and the glossiness will last longer.

Wear resistance: Gel nail polish is stronger than nail polish, lasts longer, is not easy to fall off, and has better wear resistance. Because gel nail polish is thicker than nail polish and has a sealing layer at the end, its wear resistance is much better than nail polish.
