Items in the cosmetic sector designed for the aesthetic enhancement of fingernails and toenails, generally involving the application of colored coatings that are cured under ultraviolet or LED light, fall under a specific product category. An example includes a gel-based substance available in a variety of hues, intended for use by professional manicurists and at-home consumers.
These formulations provide durable, long-lasting color and shine to the nails, resisting chipping and wear for extended periods. Their evolution reflects advancements in polymer chemistry, resulting in improved adhesion, reduced curing times, and enhanced color stability. The advent of these materials has allowed for the creation of intricate nail art designs and provided a more robust alternative to traditional nail polishes.
