Gel polish is a type of nail polish that is cured under a UV or LED lamp to create a hard, durable, and long-lasting manicure. It is applied like regular nail polish, but each layer is cured under the lamp for a few minutes, resulting in a hardened and glossy finish that can last up to two weeks. Gel polish is available in a wide range of colors and finishes, and it is favored by many people for its chip-resistant, smudge-proof, and shiny finish. However, it requires special removal techniques, as it cannot be removed with regular nail polish remover.
