Do you dream of a manicure that lasts more than 4 days? The semi-permanent varnish is made for you!
Marinho Paris explains everything about semi-permanent varnish.

Semi-permanent nail polish is an innovation in the world of nail polish... Saving time, holding, shine: it revolutionizes the lives of women who love perfect hands.
The semi-permanent varnish is applied in the same way as a conventional varnish, the advantage is that it dries instantly. Each coat of varnish requires a drying time of 30 seconds under LED lights or 2 minutes under UV lights, this is called varnish catalysis.
As far as application is concerned, a conventional varnish is diluted under the action of a solvent while the semi-permanent varnish is detached and removed into chips thanks to a specific solvent more or less rich in acetone.

Marinho Paris provides you with some technical information that will allow you to see more clearly the composition of semi-permanent varnishes:

- Polymers, synthetic or natural molecules that 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.
- Fluidifiers, often volatile solvents that you breathe, 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 odorous.
- Film-forming agents, most of which are synthetic, allow a homogeneous application of the varnish in layers.
- Pigments, synthetic or natural, they are there to bring colour into your lives ☺
A quality varnish is covering and contains a high concentration of pigment.

A perfect manicure that lasts more than 2 weeks

The long-term durability of the semi-permanent varnish is its main advantage. If applied carefully and on a healthy nail, it can last from 2 to 3 weeks depending on the brands, their method of application and the products used.
No more manicure touch-ups every 4 days, it's a real freedom for you!

A semi-permanent dry varnish in 30 seconds

Which one of you still has hours to lose to get perfect hands? No more traces, the varnish that dries too quickly when applied, the lack of gloss... The semi-permanent varnish corresponds to the life of a modern woman!
Your varnish will be completely dry in 30 seconds using a latest generation LED lamp and in 2 minutes with a UV lamp.
After catalysis, some semi-permanent varnishes retain a sticky surface that requires a degreasing step with a cleanser.

A semi-permanent varnish that shines from the first coat

A semi-permanent varnish is expected to have a higher gloss than a conventional varnish.
Nevertheless, some semi-permanent varnishes require the application of Top Coat to enhance gloss and protect the application.

Does a semi-permanent nail polish damage nails more than a conventional polish?

Yes and no, it depends on the formula of the semi-permanent varnish, and the application.
Considering that some institutes persist in scratching nails, using primers, high solvent varnishes, UV lamps and coatings with aluminium foil or sanders, you have everything to fear.
If we choose professionals sensitive to innovation and with an ethical vision of beauty, or the latest generation products, you will be surprised to see the evolution in this field.
A gentle semi-permanent manicure that lasts 2 to 2.5 weeks will not be more aggressive for your nails than a classic manicure that you repeat every 4 days.

Is the unpleasant smell of varnishes a health hazard?

We all pushed the door of an institute and were inconvenienced by the presence of a strong solvent smell. It's hard to imagine a moment of beauty and well-being in apnea!
In general, a classic varnish smells as strong as a semi-permanent varnish. These unpleasant odours obviously come from certain components of the varnishes, but also from the ancillary products used for laying and depositing them.
The solvent fumes contained in some degreasers and solvents are just as harmful to your bronchial tubes as those present in varnishes.

Is the application of a semi-permanent varnish complicated and aggressive?

Removal remains one of the main a priori of women who have been victims of excessive sanding practices, acetone bathing, use of strong solvents with aluminum foil, and other barbaric practices.

The semi-permanent varnish does not dilute, so it is necessary to let a solvent be applied for 12 to 20 minutes on the nail in order to remove the varnish... This process may seem long, whereas it is essentially equivalent to the removal of a conventional varnish that dilutes and requires a lot of care not to stain the finger, skin etc..

A semi-permanent varnish application at the sander should not exist! This practice should be reserved for the application of reconstruction gels where nail and material are one. This technique, which requires real know-how, is at the root of all consumers' fears and it is legitimate. It has been misused for the application of semi-permanent varnishes, with the sole aim of saving time.
