2 Ways to Mani and Pedi

Two ways to salon-level nails at home, for hands and toes. One cures under a little lamp and stays put for weeks. One is real polish in a peel and press strip, no lamp, no drying time. Here is how to pick yours.

Side by side

	Gel Nail Strips	Nail Polish Strips
Lamp needed	Yes, about 60 seconds	No
Wear time	Up to 14 days	Days, made for changing often
Finish	Hard, glossy gel	Classic polish finish
Time to apply	About 10 minutes	About 10 minutes
Removal	Cuticle oil, lift and peel	Peels away easily
For toes	Pedicure gel strips, often wear even longer	Works on toes too
From	One set covers a full manicure	£5 a set

Do both work as a pedicure?

Yes. Gel strips come in shapes cut for toes, and pedicures are where gel really shines: toe nails grow more slowly, so a gel pedi often outlasts the 14 days you would get on fingers. Polish strips work on toes as well, ideal for a quick holiday-ready change.

Which way is for you?

Pick gel nail strips if

You want one application to last through work weeks, holidays and washing up. You do not mind 60 seconds under a lamp for weeks of gloss. The starter kit includes the lamp if you do not own one.

Pick nail polish strips if

You love changing your look often, want zero kit, or you are trying nail strips for the very first time. At £5 a set they are the easiest possible way in.
