Basic manicure
This is the most common and classic way of getting your nails manicured, which doesn’t involve any different steps. This type of manicure works best for people who are looking for a quick fix as this process is really fuss-free, quick, and simple. This type of manicure is also an excellent choice for women who are getting their nails manicured for the very first time. This manicure involves very basic steps that involve- cleaning of nails (filing, cutting, shaping), and then a fresh coat of nail polish of your choice is applied to the nails and is allowed to dry under a nail dryer. You can also get to choose how you want to get your nails shaped. This type of manicure can you last you for about a week.
Gel manicure
A gel manicure is a great alternative for those who often chip their nails off the freshly applied nail polish. This type of manicure can last you for about 2 to 3 weeks, which makes it a great option to go with. Also, gel manicure is a little easy on your pocket and won’t cost you a bomb. In this type of manicure, a hard gel is applied to your fake or natural nails, which can also be used to extend the length of your nails and get them shaped in your desired form. However, when it comes to getting rid of gel nails, you will have to go to the same salon in order to get them off your nails. They will follow a proper procedure, which can include sanding away the gel with an electric filer and then using a remover to get rid of the leftovers.
Acrylic manicure
For all those people who are not able to grow their nails in the desired length and often dreams about having those perfect looking nails can safely rely on this manicure. There’s a reason why acrylic nails are quite popular amongst the girls, and that reason is, you can achieve your dream nails by opting for this type of manicure. Basically, an acrylic manicure is a combination of a liquid monomer and powder polymer that forms a hard protective base over your natural nails. It is then followed by applying a nail polish of your choice. Much like a gel manicure, an acrylic manicure will also last you about two to three weeks.
Dip powder manicure
Dip powder manicure is one of the easiest and quickest ways of getting your nails done. Unlike many other manicures, it doesn’t require UV rays to seal in your polish. Instead, your nails are dipped into a little jar that contains a nail color of your choice. The applied powder is then sealed by applying a top coat over your nails. These nails will also last you for about three weeks. However, you need to be really gentle with your nails in order to prevent them from breaking.
French manicure
French manicure is one of the most classic ways of getting your nails done. It looks super chic, stylish, and the best thing is, it looks amazing on every single person. The tips of the nails that are painted in all white color is what makes this manicure quite different from others. This type of manicure is achieved by painting your nails in pink or beige color, then the tip of your nails is painted with pure white color. French manicure can last you for about two to three weeks if done using a gel, or it can last you for about a week if done using nail polish.
