Would you try the new UV/CalGel nail polish trend? Or will you be sticking to the standard nail lacquer??

Acrylics have become passe. Salon manicures that chip within days are a thing of the past. You can put the pains of buffing, fills and smudged manis behind you. The hottest trend in nails is UV gel polish and hybrids. Thanks to products like CalGel, CND Shellac and OPI Axxium women are indulging in manicures that last for two to three weeks with no chipping, dulling or tip wear.
Unlike traditional polish, the gel and hybrid nail polishes cure under a UV lamp and dry instantly. You can grab your keys, shove your hands in your pocket, even put on your shoes without worrying about dents. Can you imagine the possibilities beyond this summer? Winter pedicures that don't leave your feet freezing in flip flops (!).
The unique formulation keeps the finish glossy and scratch free until it's removed. Of course you have to live with your color of choice for at least two weeks so make it a good one. (And wear sunscreen to protect your hands from the UV rays).
