How to do a semi-permanent manicure at home?

Have you ever imagined maintaining a perfect manicure all the time? Then a semi-permanent varnish would be the best ally! However, how to perform a pose like a professional? Today, your nail supply expert Maryton will tell you how to do a semi-permanent manicure at home.

Nail preparation

First of all, wash your hands and then file the nails to give them the shape you want: square or oval. And above all, always file in the same direction so as not to split them! You can also use an electric nail drill if you have the necessary experience.

Push back the cuticles so that the varnish is well on the nail. In addition, smooth your nails with a buffing block so that the surface of your nails is flat. Then finish by applying a cleaner that will degrease your nails.

Applying semi-permanent varnish

Start by applying a thin layer of primer to increase the adhesion of the varnish on the nails. Follow with a thin base coat for semi-permanent nail polish. It will protect your nails from the pigments it contains. After that, place your hand in the UV or LED lamp for about 30 seconds.

Then proceed to the application of the semi-permanent colored nail polish in two always thin coats. After each, put your hands under the lamp for about 1 to 2 minutes. The lamp will allow your varnish to catalyze, that is to say to solidify so that it doesn’t move.

Finishes

To complete the installation, you must apply the top coat varnish in a thin layer. It will bring more shine to the varnish. Then, degrease your nails by passing a cotton soaked in cleaner over it and it’s over!

OK! You have know how to do a semi-permanent manicure at home, take your manicure sets into action now! Looking forward to seeing your new manicure!
