WHAT IS SEMI-PERMANENT VARNISH?
Semi-permanent varnish is an innovation in the world of nail polish. Time saving, holding, brilliance: it revolutionizes the lives of women who are fans of perfect hands.
The semi-permanent varnish is applied in the same way as a conventional varnish, the advantage is that it dries instantly.
Each layer of varnish requires a drying of 30 seconds under LED lamp or 2 minutes under UV lamp, this is called catalysis of the varnish.
As for the removal, a classic varnish is diluted under the action of a solvent, while the semi-permanent varnish peels off and is eliminated in chips thanks to a specific solvent more or less rich in acetone.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
This little technical information will allow you to see more clearly on the composition of semi-permanent varnishes. They contain:
– Polymers: these synthetic or natural molecules cling to each other under the action of radiation from LED or UV lamps to form a solid network. These are often synthetic acrylates, sometimes shellac, a natural resin secreted by mealybugs.
– Fluidizers: these are often volatile solvents that we breathe. They give varnishes a more or less liquid texture and a more or less strong smell. A “low-end” varnish contains a significant amount of solvent. It is liquid, less covering and is therefore more difficult to apply, it is also very fragrant.
– Film-forming agents: mostly synthetic, they allow a homogeneous application of the varnish.
– Pigments: synthetic or natural, they are there to put color.
A quality varnish must be covering and contain a high concentration of pigment.
We recommend that you use the adequate manicure and pedicure set to take care of your nails before applying any kind of decoration.
