Every woman wants to have neat nails and attract compliments for her manicure. So all kinds of methods have been invented by which nails can look more beautiful than they already are.
These are nail polish, gel or semi-permanent nail polish. If it occurred to you to get a semi-permanent nail polish kit, below you can find out how to use it. First, you need patience. There are great chances that it won’t come out right away, that the nail polish will catch air or that you won’t clean your nail well. Thus, the nail polish will fall off.
Reasons why semi-permanent nail polish falls off

-remove your nail polish with a pusher. All you do is attack the nail, which makes it thinner.
-use an unsuitable file to remove semi nails.
-you did not apply the products correctly on the nail.

Here are the advantages of semi-permanent nail polish:
- intense, glossy color;

- does not attack the nail.
Steps for applying semi-permanent nail polish
To start, you need to prepare the nail. This step is extremely important and it depends on how strong your manicure will be.
- disinfects the nail and cleans the cuticles. It does not cut the skin, because it acts as a barricade against bacteria. If it looks unsightly, gently remove it with a pusher.
- then moisturize the cuticles with a special moisturizing oil.
- shorten the nail and give it the shape you want. Use a pair of scissors for shortening, and for the shape it is advisable to use a file.
- with an 80/80 granulation file cleans the surface of the nail. Be careful to make the movements in one direction, so as not to affect the thinness of the nail more than necessary.
- degrease the nail surface using a cleansing disk soaked in cleanser. Thus, you will remove the existing dust on the nail and you will help to better fix the top and the base. A well-cleaned nail is what makes the manicure last a long time.
- apply the base. After you have cleaned your nail well and degreased it, it is time to apply the base. Carefully and not too much, apply the base evenly on the surface of the nail. The base is a product that is applied before applying the nail polish, just to protect the nail. After applying the base on the nail, dry it on the lamp for 30-40 seconds. The manufacturer’s instructions are also written on each product, so you are more likely to find drying time there.
- apply the color. After the base has dried, it is time to apply the color. You can usually apply two coats of color to dry separately on the lamp, so the first one should not be too thick. Apply a thin layer of nail polish on the nail and let it dry on the lamp for about 2 minutes. As in the case of the base, you will also find on the packaging of the nail polish bottle
which is the indicated drying time. Do not apply more than two coats (not very thick) because the nail will be loaded and will no longer look aesthetic.
- seals the color using the top. The top is like a colorless lake that gives a beautiful glow. It must be dried in a lamp for 2 minutes. It is not advisable to skip this stage, because the top is the one that fixes the nail polish and makes it not jump quickly from the nails.
- at the end, degrease the nails using a cleanser and moisturize them using a special oil.
Surely you have heard of 3 in 1 nail polish, that type of nail polish that dries in the lamp and does not need to apply the base and top. It’s a simpler process, and the results are just as good.
However, for a manicure like a book, we are waiting for you at Lucicosm Beauty Studio, here where we make sure that your manicure has the best treatment. Another important aspect to look out for is the shape of your nails. There are certain shapes that just don’t suit you, and we’re here to identify the best shape for your hand.
Moreover, know that there are different types of semi-permanent nail polish. Therefore, when buying a semi-permanent nail polish kit, pay attention to the type of color you take. I can use thermo nail polish, the type that changes color depending on the temperature, semi-3D varnishes or matte nail polishes. Choose the color depending on what you prefer.
Remember that the moisturizing process of the hands is very important. The reason why your hands and nails look so good after a visit to Lucicosm Beauty Studio is precisely the hydration.
