The latest trend from manufacturers is a gel-polish/lacquer hybrid that promises to last 7-10 days and doesn’t require curing in an LED lamp. The removal process is also similar to traditional lacquer, using non-acetone to simply wipe off the color. For clients who crave a long-lasting nail look but are hesitant about gel-polish due to curing and removal, these longer lasting polishes could be the perfect compromise. We took a closer look at this new product category and the brands that are currently offering these options.
