Gel cures under a UV/LED light and lasts the longest.
Gel polish is lighter than full gel but still cured under light for extended wear.
Dazzle Dry is a fast-drying, long-lasting, non-gel system that removes like regular polish.
Traditional polish air-dries and offers the quickest, most flexible option but chips sooner.
