Nail polish basically is a paint but nail vanish is a special paint which is used to design our nails.

The difference is only in the location of where it's being used; polish in America, and varnish in Europe. They're both a lacquer, that can be used to add designs or a solid color (like paint). For each, the term 'varnish' and 'polish' just mean 'shiny coat', essentially. They're generic terms in the different reason, kinda like saying we polished a deck, or put varnish on it, when really someone used lacquer, shellac, etc.
