Choosing between non-chip polish and regular polish can be confusing, especially if you’re not sure how each option fits your lifestyle. Both can look beautiful, but the way they wear, feel, and support your nails is different — and understanding those differences helps you make the best choice for your hands and your routine.
Regular polish is ideal for clients who enjoy changing colors often or prefer something lightweight on their nails. It’s gentle, flexible, and easy to remove at home, making it perfect for weekly manicures or special occasions. If your nails are healthy and you’re not too hard on your hands, classic polish offers plenty of shine and versatility.
Non-chip polish (gel polish) is designed for durability. It stays glossy and chip-free 10+ days, even with active hands or frequent hand-washing. This makes it the best option for busy clients, those who work with their hands, or anyone who wants their manicure to look perfect without weekly maintenance. It’s cured under LED light, giving it a long-lasting finish regular polish can’t match.
While both polishes are safe when applied and removed correctly, non-chip polish does require professional removal to protect the natural nail. Our technicians gently break down the gel without damaging the nail plate, keeping your nails healthy underneath. Regular polish, on the other hand, can be changed more often without requiring a salon visit.
