If you frequent the nail salon lately, you must have heard about SNS Nails. It is not surprising because it is becoming popularly huge recently. SNS stands for Signature Nail Systems. This branded powder-dipping system offers a different take on coating the nails compare to the traditional way that we are used to. The process is accompanied by a gel-based polish where the nail technician applies the gel polish on the nail then dips it in the powder and repeats the process.

The popularity of SNS nails has sky-rocketed over the years because it is believed to be a healthier alternative to shellac manicure. Its popularity can also be attributed to the fact that no LED Lamp or UV Light is needed to set the polish. While SNS’s concept of applying polish to the nails has been around for many years, its popularity has risen because they easily last longer than the conventional nail polish. SNS has ditched the dreadful lifting that is synonymous to gel polish nail that usually happen second-week mark.

So what makes SNS a safer choice for nail arts?

If we are going to compare something to another one, we need to list the difference between them and here are the traits that set SNS apart from acrylic or shellac nails:

• It doesn’t have harsh effects on natural nails
• No UV light is required to dry it
• Compared to another manicure techniques, SNS requires less to none filling
• It produces less fumes
• It’s more resistant to chips making it last twice as long compared to acrylic or shellac nails
