Shellac vs. Regular Polish

Written By Stephanie Ouellette

Choosing between Shellac and regular polish depends on your lifestyle and nail care needs.

Shellac (gel polish):

  • Long-lasting (2-3 weeks)

  • Chip-resistant

  • Requires UV curing (dries instantly)

  • Best for durability and shine

Regular Polish:

  • Dries naturally

  • Easier to change colors

  • Less long-lasting (about a week)

  • Best for those who like frequent changes

Both options offer beautiful results. If you need a manicure that lasts longer without chips, Shellac is the best choice. For flexibility, regular polish works well.

Book a manicure that suits your lifestyle.
