If you are tired of seeing your varnish deteriorate after a few days, semi-permanent varnish is the ideal solution to have pretty nails for a long time. The application of semi-permanent varnish can be done in several steps. In this article, the nail supplies expert Maryton will explain everything to you. Read on!

Here are the steps for applying semi-permanent varnish:

• Preparing the nails: filing them, pushing back the cuticles, cleaning them so that they are perfectly clean and neat.
• Applying the base coat: transparent, it will act as a protective film to prevent the varnish from yellowing your nails.
• Applying the varnish, generally two coats.
• Applying the top coat. Also transparent, its purpose is to add shine and protect the layers of varnish to prevent them from flaking.

Between each coat, the varnish is catalyzed by placing your hands under an LED or UV lamp which will fix it – it takes between 30 seconds and two minutes depending on the type of machine used. The result is a shiny and impeccable varnish, which unlike a traditional varnish will last without flaking for two to three weeks.

Semi-permanent varnish is a very good option for all those who want to display pretty colored nails without having to go through the manicure box every 3 days, or to ensure that they have perfect hands, for example for an event or a ceremony.

You will not be limited by opting for semi-permanent: there are hundreds of colors available, and it is possible to do nail art or a French manicure. You can have it applied in a nail bar, at a beautician, or even you choose to invest in a manicure kit with the necessary equipment.
