Which is more harmful, nail polish or nail varnish? Which is better, nail polish or nail varnish?

Both nail polish and nail polish gel can be used for manicure, but I heard that using nail polish gel will be less harmful. Is this true? Which of these two glues is better?

Nail polish is more harmful than nail polish gel. Many chemicals added to nail polish are toxic, while the main component of nail polish gel is resin, which is non-toxic and odorless.

Nail polish contains 70% volatile solvents, and the colors are bright and vivid. After use, the colors will adhere to the nails and will not fade when exposed to water. In order to achieve this effect, many chemical ingredients such as acetone, ethyl acetate, and formaldehyde are added. The dyes Sudan red and formaldehyde contained in it are carcinogenic. The main component of nail polish is natural resin, which is formed by the sap secreted by trees. It is non-toxic and odorless, does not harm human health, is very environmentally friendly, and has better coloring and adhesion than nail polish.

Nail polish contains a lot of volatile solvents, so it needs to be sealed during storage. Light has almost no effect on it. Nail polish contains phototherapy glue components that are sensitive to light and heat. When encountering ultraviolet rays in the light, it will solidify, so when storing nail polish, use opaque colored bottles.

Nail polish

Ingredients: The main ingredients are 70%-80% volatile solvents, about 15% nitrocellulose, a small amount of oily solvents, camphor, titanium dioxide and oil-soluble pigments.

Function: The solvent contained in nail polish evaporates to form a colored film, which can show color after adhering to the nails.

Features: No need for lighting, so nail polish is usually placed in a transparent bottle and sealed for storage.

Nail polish:

Ingredients & Functions: The main ingredients are natural resin and some color materials. This material will solidify under ultraviolet light instead of volatilizing, and it will form a plastic-like film.

Features: Glossiness, wear resistance and firmness are better than nail polish. Most importantly, it has almost no volatile gas, is basically odorless, and takes only one or two minutes to dry. It can also create more different nail styles. However, nail polish needs to be placed in a light-proof bottle and stored away from light.

Nail polish and nail polish gel cannot be mixed. Although both nail polish and nail polish gel can color the nails and increase the beauty of the hands, there are essential differences between the two, from the material to the way of use. They can only be used alone and cannot be mixed together.

1. The ingredients of the two are different:

1. Ingredients of phototherapy color glue: The main ingredient is an acrylic resin polymer that is cured by ultraviolet rays.

2. The ingredients of nail polish (also called nail glue): base resin, photoinitiator, and various additives (such as pigments and dyes, rheology modifiers, adhesion promoters, toughening agents, monomer diluents, cross-linking agents, solvents, etc.

Second, the classification of the two is different:

1. Classification of phototherapy color glue: Phototherapy glue can be classified into basic phototherapy glue and color phototherapy glue according to its function.

2. Classification of nail polish: According to the effect during manicure, nail polish is divided into three types: base coating adhesive glue, color middle layer glue and surface coating sealing glue.

3. The characteristics of the two are different:

1. Characteristics of phototherapy color glue: high transparency, good gloss, natural and light, good toughness, no irritating smell, not easy to turn yellow, not easy to break, and long lasting.

2. Characteristics of nail polish glue: It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, healthy and safe. In addition, it has the common advantages of both glue and nail polish. It has rich and clear colors, is easy to apply, and maintains a longer-lasting gloss.
