After preparing your nails with different accessories and manicure sets, you can start applying the semi-permanent varnish. Today, this article will tell you how to apply semi-permanent varnish at home.

Here are the different steps to follow:

Step 1: Primer

If you have oily nails, it is important to apply a primer, which will help dehydrate the nail. This will increase the adhesion of the semi-permanent varnish. Apply a thin layer and let it air dry.

Step 2: The Base Coat

Applying a base coat is essential! The latter ensures your varnish has long-lasting hold and optimal protection. Apply a thin layer to all your nails and run your hand under the UV/LED lamp for 60-120 seconds.

Step 3: The semi-permanent varnish of your choice

After choosing a color, apply a thin layer of semi-permanent varnish to your nails, taking care not to touch the cuticles. Let your hand cure under the UV/LED lamp for 60-120 seconds, then apply the second coat and finish with a pass under the lamp.

Step 4: The Top Coat

Finish by applying a layer of top coat to the nail. This step is essential to prolong the wear of your polish and add an extra burst of shine. Be careful not to overflow then catalyze the varnish one last time under the lamp.

Step 5: The cleaner

After you have finished applying your varnish, there will remain a greasy layer on the nail, you must then use a cotton pad soaked in cleaner to remove this layer. This step will not remove the color, on the contrary, it will harden and maintain the shine of the varnish.
