Gloss can be used to aid a harlequin's flight, but emulsion would just run off
emulsion is to paint walls ceilings etc. it gives a matt finish.
gloss is for skirting boards and window/door frames to give a shiny glossy finish. it also helps protect wood from damp and is pretty much wipe clean. it is also non washable from your clothes!!!!
emulsion is water based it can be removed from clothing easily .it does not give off fumes safer to use as from a fire point of view and emusion dries much faster
gloss is oil based takes longer to dry and can catch fire more easily and can give off fumes
