Semi-permanent Nail Polish, A New Trend

Today, however, all our obligations mean that we have less and less time for these kinds of luxuries and as a result our nails suffer. Fortunately, semi-permanent nail polish is an excellent solution for this!

With this new nail polish you can get a semi-permanent finish that all your friends will envy.

So if you normally have limited time, this will no longer be the reason why your nails don’t look great.

In this article we tell you a little more about this latest trend in the nail world.

What is semi-permanent nail polish?

This is a new technique that will keep your nails looking perfect for about twenty days. This nail polish does not crumble at all.

The main difference between semi-permanent nail polish and regular nail polish is that semi-permanent nail polish consists of a gel that adapts to the growth of your nails, making the polish last longer.

You can apply this type of nail polish at home or have it done at a nail studio where they offer a gel nail service.

To apply this technique yourself, start by following the same steps as you would with a traditional manicure.

• Disinfect your nails and cuticles.
• File your nails to the desired shape.

• Clean the cuticles and remove dead skin cells or loose nails.
• Apply a clear base coat or nail hardener.
• Wait for this layer to dry and then apply the special semi-permanent nail polish.
• Finally, apply another transparent layer over it. And use a lamp to let it dry.

Also remember: the nail polish used for this process is stronger than regular nail polish. To remove this nail polish, you need a special product to prevent residues from remaining on your nails.

Apply semi-permanent nail polish yourself

Of course it is important that you have everything you need at home: the nail polish, a manicure set and an LED lamp.

One of the advantages of this manicure is its longevity. You don’t have to worry about how your nails look for twenty days afterwards. Even the shine does not fade. Your nails will really look brand new for at least two weeks.

Follow all the steps and tips in this article so that you can apply this nail polish on yourself, instead of paying a professional.

Steps you need to go through

• Apply the base coat.
• Apply two coats of color.
• Finally, apply the transparent layer.

The first real difference to keep in mind is that you have to let your nails dry under a lamp after each coat. After that, wait about thirty seconds before continuing to apply the next coat.

Once you’ve applied all the coats and your nails are completely dry, add a little rubbing alcohol over them. This ensures that the nail polish seals well. The whole process can take about half an hour.

How long does semi-permanent nail polish last?

There is no guarantee of how long this nail polish will last – we all do different things with our hands that can affect the quality of our manicure.

We can say with certainty that your nails will look beautiful for two weeks, but it all depends on a few aspects that you should not forget:

• How fast your nails grow.
• The kind of work you regularly do with your hands.
• The quality and texture of your nails – some people have harder or softer nails.

Latest Tips

Here are some practical tips to take care of your nails if you decide to apply this manicure.

• If you are a nail biter, you should avoid using gel nail polish.
• Moisture that builds up in the nail can cause fungal growth.
• Do not use this type of nail polish if you have very thin or weak nails.
• If it’s your first time, see a nail salon professional to have your nails assessed and see if it’s a good option for you.
• It’s important to properly remove the paint when you’ve had enough.

As you can see, there are many different things you should know about this new trend.

Your nails complement your beauty and style.
