For those who do not use gel polish, the question always remains "How to find the most resistant nail polish?" Reviews of girlfriends can be contradictory, since the condition of the nails for all people is different. To choose the best brand that suits a particular woman, you should seek the advice of professionals.
The fact is that the cheapest varnish perfectly holds on strong, he althy nails. It can only be erased from the end of the nail, but will never chip or crack. On weak nail plates that bend with some movements, not a single varnish will last long. How to choose the golden mean?
Resistant varnishes - a new formula
Professionals don't trust many names, so the most durable nail polish brands are well known. These are OPI, CND, Orly. Less well known are Essie and IsaDora. With the advent of gel polishes, fashion switched to them, but lovers of ordinary polish remained. It is convenient to apply and remove varnish on your own, take it with you on a trip, change the coating as often as you want. This fails with gel polishes.
Finally, hybrids appear in the nail industry. These are varnishes with a gel formula that can stay on nails from a week to two. They look like gel on the hands - they are just as voluminous and dense. But they come off just like varnish. Salon shelves are changing their assortment - they now have the so-called weekly varnish coatings.
Proper application is the key to success
Often, the way the polish is applied affects the durability of a manicure. With an insufficiently degreased surface, the varnish will not be able to fix well on the keratin of the nail and will not give a strong grip. Do not neglect the base - it was created specifically for the first layer, which creates good adhesion.
Some companies additionally produce nail conditioners, which further increase the durability of the coating. All these products are considered auxiliary, but they are the professional varnish layer. Colored varnish - the second phase in the application - is designed for the prepared nail. It's not surprising if reviews of long-lasting nail polishes are negative. They do not last long when the technology is broken.
The final coat, or top coat, is a required layer. It's sheer, adds volume, and takes extra time to dry. Therefore, amateurs do not always buy it. But it is he who protects the varnish from external influences, cracks and burnout. With it, the varnish is worn much longer.
Vinylux nail polish
CND was the first company to release permanent polish and teach how to apply it correctly. The point is that forsuch coatings do not fit a regular top. Therefore, the purchase of resistant varnish is done in two bottles at once: color and top. These coatings interact with each other as they dry.
Fresh polish takes no more than ten minutes to dry. During this time, the gel molecules have time to react and create a solid film. Unfortunately, this varnish quickly polymerizes if stored incorrectly, becomes too thick and takes a long time to dry on the hands.
This polish is not cheap at all. It is focused on business class lounges, although it is available for sale. Reviews about the resistant nail polish of this brand were at first laudatory, but then the first dissatisfied ones appeared. It turned out that this coating does not hold on thin and flexible nails. Under it, reinforcement with a gel is required. Following the first sign, other manufacturers began to produce their analogues, only slightly changing the formula. But so far, it has not been possible to create a suitable coverage for absolutely everyone.
OPI Infinite Shine
Following CND, a similar varnish is produced by the leader of the nail industry - OPI. The base is added to the product. This three-phase coating works only with each other, due to which fast polymerization is achieved. Complete drying of the layers occurs in twenty minutes. According to reviews, persistent Infinite Shine nail polish is worn for a week, and sometimes more. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for thin soft nails.
The price category of the varnish is high, it is more suitable forsalon use. But if you want to constantly wear your favorite color, it can also be recommended for home use.
Sally Hansen polish
This company is known for producing salon-quality polishes for home use. They have a medicinal composition, do not contain harmful ingredients - in general, they fully correspond to the highest quality. The manufacturer produces several lines, and each of them has several collections. Their composition is constantly updated in accordance with the latest developments in the nail industry.
Recently, the company has a gel polish. This is a two-phase system, not compatible with other brands. The price is slightly lower than for products from CND and OPI. Customers, whose nails are naturally strong, are very happy, but the owners of problem nails were not satisfied. In general, no magic happened - the Vinylux analogue is intended for hard nail plates.
Sally Hansen does have an old tried and tested product, though, Xtreme lacquer. A very affordable option that is easy to apply and dries quickly. It will not be worn for a week, but due to the short change of coverage, it does not take much time and nerves to apply.
Conclusion
All nail polish lovers are constantly looking for affordable long lasting nail polish. Often, in order for a manicure to last a long time, you have to resort to strengthening the nail plates with a gel or acrylic. A thin layer of such material will provide sufficient rigidity. But at home this operation is difficult to perform - for the gelyou need a lamp, but acrylic requires quick application. Therefore, for every woman, the answer to the question of the most reliable varnish remains open.
