What is the most popular purple nail polish? ›

Look no further than Essie Lilacism, the best-selling purple nail polish that is taking the beauty world by storm. This whisper-soft, satiny smooth lilac shade is not just pretty, it's super pretty (yes, there's a difference).

There is very little evidence that SNS is any better or worse for your nails than gel polish, hard gel or acrylic. What causes damage to your natural nails is not the product itself, but the application and removal process. This is why your technician will advise you not to pick at or peel off your gel or acrylic.

Purple. Purple shades are a popular nail option, but the exact shade can differ in what it says about a person. Darker shades of purple are very unique and artistic, reflecting those qualities in the person donning it. The lighter shades, like lilac, are playful and timeless.

You can get powder manicures refilled, but most of the time you will have to get the color removed and start from scratch.

Lighter Tones: Choose lighter shades of any color, such as pastels or light grays. Lighter tones help to brighten the hands and create a more youthful appearance. Sheer and Natural Finishes: Consider using sheer or natural finishes, like a sheer pink or a clear coat.

The 'vitamins' present in the formula are so minimal, any claim of strengthening effect is negligible. Another reason the SNS procedure tends to weaken nails is the removal process. This is an inflexible product, so any breaks or lifting usually takes your own nail with it!

The gel can then be nicked at the edge and gently peeled away. It does not take layers off or weaken the nail over time as SNS does, which means stronger, less damaged nails.

The longevity of a SNS manicure can range from two to three weeks, depending on the rate of an individual's nail growth and their activities. This extended wear time implies a reduced likelihood of chipping or breaking, resulting in a longer-lasting finish that requires less frequent touch-ups.

It's likely that your nails will look very brittle, dry, and damaged after removing gel, acrylics, or SNS. So lock in some moisture with a super hydrating cuticle oil.

To maintain nail health while removing SNS nails, following proper procedures, like soaking your nails in acetone and not aggressively scraping off the nail polish, is essential.

So, how long does SNS lasts? Unless you are doing manual labor, lifting, gardening, and everyday housecleaning without gloves, SNS will last anywhere from 2-4 weeks without fading or chipping, similar to gel but less susceptible to chipping like gel.
