Is my nail polish suitable for me?

Pregunta:

A question about ‘body chemistry’ and regular nail polish. How do you know if a brand or formula is not suitable for you? In your blog about testing a new UV gel brand, you say “Try all of them on several different people. One is not enough! All nails are different.”

Contesta:

Los dos productos tienen una química muy diferente, pero su pregunta puede mostrar similitudes.
Preparation is key to any type of nail coating.
Adhesion characteristics are also key. This can depend on the strength and flexibility of the nail plate.
Esmaltes de uñas are designed to last 5-7, maybe 10, days. If it doesn’t, then it isn’t the right one for that type of nail, or the client is not good at looking after their nails.
Quick-drying ones can be more brittle (as explained previously) so may not suit a flexible nail plate and vice versa.
Todas las uñas son diferentes, pero lo mejor es elegir una marca que se adapte a la mayoría de las condiciones de las uñas. En ese caso, puede que solo sea necesario ajustar ligeramente la preparación.
