Which nail polish is right for me?
Depending on your skin type, there are many different nail polishes to choose from. While nude and pink shades look especially good on fair skin, bright colors such as yellow, orange, and pink suit darker skin tones better. Before applying, you should also know whether you want to use classic nail polish or UV nail polish:
Classic nail polish
This is where it all began: thanks to the solvents it contains, it is easy to apply. When it dries, it forms a beautiful, firm, and shiny layer. The application is quick and simple. Classic nail polish lasts for 3 to 7 days – ideal if you don’t want to wear nail polish every day and only want it for special occasions. To prevent discoloration of the natural nails and to achieve a glossy finish, we always recommend using a base coat and a top coat.
UV nail polish
Gel nail polish that cures under a UV lamp is a great alternative to traditional polish. UV nail polish is thicker, more durable, and looks more natural. Although application is a bit more complex, it can easily be learned and done even by beginners.
Nail polish during pregnancy
Is nail polish harmful during pregnancy? Many expectant mothers ask themselves this question. However, it cannot be answered in general terms. What is definitely not good is inhaling the fumes while applying the polish. Therefore, nail polish should be applied outdoors or near an open window during pregnancy.
If you want to avoid even small risks from chemicals classified as potentially harmful to health, choose nail polishes that are free from these controversial ingredients:
- Phthalates
- Formaldehyde
- Toluene
- Camphor
- Rosin
- Xylene
Our nail polish brands
Here are our nail polish brands for well-groomed nails:
Alessandro nail polish
Alessandro offers both regular nail polish and the unique LED nail polish Striplac Peel Or Soak. All nail polishes are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and available in a wide range of standard colors and special editions. The products are made in Austria.
Juliana Nails nail polish
Juliana Nails gel nail polish lasts up to 5 weeks without chipping or scratching. It can be applied in just a few simple steps and provides long-lasting results for up to 5 weeks. At the beginning of the 21st century, Juliana Nails first expanded from Austria to the entire German-speaking region and then throughout Europe.
Nail polish colors: What’s trending and what suits me?
This year’s nail polish trend is muted shades such as gray and beige. For special occasions, glitter nail polish is the perfect eye-catcher.
And to make sure the nail polish matches your type, you should keep the following in mind:
- With tanned skin, almost any nail polish color looks good, while fair skin calls for warm color tones, as cool shades make the skin appear even paler.
- Dark, intense colors look great on short nails. On long nails, light nude or pastel shades are a perfect fit.
How to make nail polish dry faster
In general, gel nails dry faster under UV light than regular nail polish does in the air. However, to speed up the drying process, you can use the cool-air setting on a hairdryer or place your hand in the freezer for a short time. Our secret tip for fast-drying nails is the Alessandro Gelactic Nail Polish Quick Dryer. The spray is applied about 2 to 3 minutes after the color polish, from a distance of about 10 cm, directly onto the painted nails.
Removing nail polish
When removing regular nail polish, we recommend using an odorless and acetone-free nail polish remover, such as the Alessandro Spa Nail Dip In Remover, as it is gentler on the nails.
Removing UV nail polish takes a bit more effort. With Alessandro Striplac Peel Or Soak, this can be done using thePeel Off Activator and a cuticle stick, or with the Soak Off Liquid on foil. Juliana Nails also offers its own gel polish remover.

- The most expensive nail polish costs over $250,000 — it’s made with black diamonds.
