Similar to the classic varnish, the application of semi-permanent varnish must be done by following a few essential steps. Today, your nail supply expert Maryton will explain to you. Let’s go around.

The first step is to clean and to have smooth nails and a correct shape. For this, you must bring some specific materials, namely, a file, a nail buffer block, a cuticle cutter. These accessories are essential if you want your semi-permanent French to be durable.

When your nails are ready for polish, you should apply a first base coat and dry under the UV or LED lamp. The base is essential for optimal protection of your nails against aggression. It also plays a more than essential role in the hold of your manicure.

The second and the third layer are those of the semi-permanent varnish that you choose. If you opt for a French manicure, the first layer is that of the white which is on the edges of the nails and the second is that of the transparent semi-permanent varnish.

The fourth and last layer is the top coat which also protects the varnish so that it does not flake off. As soon as the last layer is dry after the last pass under the UV or LED lamp, you can rest easy for several weeks.
