What is the difference between a classic manicure and a gel manicure?
A classic manicure uses regular nail polish and lasts 5 to 7 days. A gel manicure uses UV-cured gel polish that lasts 2 to 3 weeks without chipping. Gel costs more — typically $30 to $60 — but offers greater durability for busy schedules.
