the list includes nail polish and nail lacquer, so it has to be something different

طلاء أظافر لامع/ملمع

They differ in chemical composition, and its basically the way it dries. Enamel dries from the outside, or "skins", then hardens as the drying agent evaporates. It will dry to a slick, glossy finish with good surface preparation. Lacquer dries from the inside, and leaves a dull finish, until its buffed to a high gloss.

Nail polish (nail varnish) is a lacquer applied to toenails and fingernails for appearance, but also as nail protection. Polishing without adding chemical layers is called buffing.

مصقل الأظافر هو المقوي يعمل على تغذية الأظافر
بينما
nail enamel - a cosmetic lacquer that dries quickly and that is applied to the nails to color them or make them shiny
يعني
طلاء أظافر أي يعمل على تجميل شكل الأظافر وليس التقوية وظيفة جمالية فقط
والله أعلم
