All you need to know about semi-permanent nail polish
Sponsored linksWhen you like to have a perfect and shiny manicure, there is the application of transparent false nails! However, finding yourself with bits of resin at your fingertips is not really too pleasant, is it? In addition, it is difficult to remove them without ruining the nails. To our delight, nail polish brands have found a good trendy alternative: semi-permanent nail polish. As already mentioned, it is a product with an acrylic gel formula whose texture is thicker than that of traditional varnish. However, it is applied like the latter. The only difference is that each layer of the permanent varnish must be passed under a UV lamp for about twenty seconds. The result ? A strong, envy-worthy manicure that won't chip and will last up to 4 weeks.
Semi-permanent varnish is ideal if you are not used to changing your manicure regularly or if you plan to go on vacation without having to do touch-ups. Again, the polish will only chip after 3-4 weeks. The only thing that can mess with the look of your manicured nails is their natural regrowth. As for the brands that offer the innovative product, there are many of them. To put it on or to remove it, the ideal is to go through the institute. Of course, that doesn't mean you can't do it at home with nail polish remover. What about laying at home? OPI, Nailic and Shellac are some of the brands currently developing home application formulas.
In short, permanent (or semi-permanent) varnish is difficult to chip, unlike classic varnish, and offers a natural and ultra-glamorous look. The only downside? It is meant to be difficult to remove. This is why patience is essential. Despite the strong urge to scratch your gel, this gesture is strongly discouraged, even prohibited! Your nails will take months to repair. It is better to go through the institute and entrust your hands to a specialist. However, when you are confined, the only possibility remains to remove your gel yourself... in the rules of the art, of course! At Deavita.fr, we can't wait to show you how to do it without difficulty.
Some beauty salons offer removal kits, our beauticians recommend removing your gel using a solvent with acetone, cotton balls and pieces of aluminum. This is undoubtedly the most classic and delicate method to remove it. The idea is to make foil wraps that you leave on for several long minutes. This will allow the remover to work and gently dissolve the polish. You can also replace the pieces of aluminum with plastic tips or silicone clamps, which can hold the soaked cotton in place. Generally available in institutes, you can find them in supermarkets.
For those who don't have time to let the nail polish remover, you can fill a container with the nail polish remover and dip your nails in it. Whichever method you choose, you have to be patient. Otherwise, you risk hurting yourself. Finally, scrape the softened polish gently with a cuticle pusher until it comes off, wash your hands and nourish your nails with greasy oil or moisturizer.
