Permanent nail polishes. Which nail polish lasts longer

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, healthy 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

Few names are trusted by professionals, so the brands of the most durable nail polishes are widely 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 does not work 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 assortment - they now have the so-called weekly varnish coatings.

Proper application is the key to success

Often, the method of applying varnish 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 technology is violated.

The final coat, or top coat, is a mandatory 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 to release a permanent varnish and taught how to apply it correctly. The fact is that a regular top is not suitable for such coatings. 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 varnish 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 improperly, becomes too thick and dries for a long time on the hands.

This lacquer is not cheap at all. It is focused on business class lounges, although it is available for sale. Reviews about the persistent 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.

Infinite Shine by OPI

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.

This company is known as a manufacturer of salon-quality varnishes 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 analogue of "Vinilux" 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 lovers of lacquer coatings are constantly looking for inexpensive 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 - a lamp is needed for the gel, while acrylic requires quick application. Therefore, for every woman, the answer to the question of the most reliable varnish remains open.

Healthy skin, strong nails and long hair... The fair sex is ready to make any sacrifice for the sake of beauty. Some of us prefer folk remedies, others spend hours and hours in salons, paying for expensive care procedures. But, unfortunately, not everyone understands that in order to achieve the desired result, you must start with proper nutrition, but you can already support your achievements with the help of cosmetics.

Our review is dedicated to the tools needed by modern women. Nail polishes that last a long time are the dream of each of us, because it is almost impossible to keep a fresh manicure for several days with an active lifestyle.

Of course, cosmetics manufacturers have come up with nail gel, but the same color for two weeks is rather annoying. We have selected several brands that have managed to win recognition among the fair sex.

IsaDora

For over thirty years, IsaDora has delighted us with an incredible selection of beauty products. Today, the Swedish brand is experiencing a rebirth, and the once popular products are reappearing in beauty stores.

Wonder Nail is one of the best varnishes, which is valued primarily for durability. In addition, the nail polish is easy to apply and dries very quickly. The ideal wide brush is the pride of IsaDora. Her hairs are cut in a special way, which allows you to evenly cover the nail in just one movement. In a huge palette there are both classic colors and juicy summer shades.

Do you want to buy high-quality varnish? The price of Wonder Nail fluctuates in the range of 300-400 rubles.

Orly

American manufacturers are leaders in the nail industry, and the legendary Orly brand is the best proof of this. The company was founded by Jeff Pink, who in 1975 decided to start a small production of products for natural nails. Thanks to an American with Israeli roots, women all over the world have learned what a French manicure is.

Colored polishes, base coats, dryers from Orly are among the best in terms of durability. In addition, the funds do not harm healthy nails. Last year, the company created a unique collection, Baked, enriched with vitamins.

Orly products, which can only cause envy of less successful competitors, are the owners of more than twenty prestigious awards.

Belweder

The Polish company Belweder specializes in caring cosmetics for lips and nails. It is rather difficult to find these beauty novelties in ordinary stores, because they have firmly established themselves on the shelves of pharmacies.

It is very difficult to pass by charming bottles of medicinal products, and the price (maximum 150 rubles) seems quite attractive. Traditional colored nail polishes that last a long time are not represented in the Belweder line. However, lovers will definitely fall in love with the Porcelain collection, which consists of six delightful shades of porcelain.

OPI

On the eve of the summer months, OPI fans were able to appreciate the Hawaii collection, which allows you to try on all the colors of tropical islands.

Leading trendsetters this season choose the Soft Shades collection, where delicate pastel shades coexist with trendy metallics. By the way, one bottle of OPI (15 ml) costs at least. The ideal option would be a set of four mini-varnishes - this feminine whim will cost about 800 rubles.

However, the most popular is the line of nail polishes dedicated to the painting “50 Shades of Grey”. As you might expect, the designers introduced five delightful gray tones and one bright red.

Essie

Judging by the reviews, long-lasting nail polishes can be found at the beauty expert Essie. Company founder Essi Weingarten describes herself as a true “coloraholic” who has to look for inspiration to work everywhere.

This year's resort collection features four luxurious matte shades, each with its own unique name: Time and Roses, Chocolate Covered, Luxurious Privacy and Time for Me. The cost of a small bottle on the official website is 365 rubles.

With a British accent

The products presented in our review occupy an average position in the beauty industry. Long lasting nail polishes are also available from premium brands. Dior and Chanel are in constant demand, but Burberry cosmetics are of greater interest.

Polish is created according to a special patented formula. It combines moisturizing and strengthening ingredients, vitamins and myrrh extract - this combination protects the nail plate from damage and creates a durable glossy finish.

Sophisticated palette Burberry: from delicate to luxurious shade of wet asphalt. Two coats of polish dry in two minutes, and seven minutes later your perfect manicure is complete.

Neither fish nor fowl

The peak of the popularity of nail gel passed a few years ago, so manufacturers today have to come up with new formulas. One of the latest inventions was a hybrid of gel and nail polish, combining their best qualities.

Revlon promises a salon manicure when using Colorstay Gel Envy. This coating contains a base and color (29 options), so it does not need other helpers. The price for a bottle is about 400 rubles.

Revlon's main competitor is CND's VINYLUX, which is marketed as a "weekly polish". The company's specialists claim that the coating is not only not damaged during this time, but also strengthens more and more every day.

It would not be superfluous to recall that the durability of long-term varnish also depends on the nails themselves, because even gels for some girls last three or four weeks, while others break off after three days. However, small checks (judging by customer reviews) by washing dishes or cleaning VINYLUX still pass.

The palette from CND consists of 62 colors, some of which repeat the already beloved shades of Shellac. In addition, owners of several bottles of varnish can mix them to create a new composition.

Manicure from VINYLUX is performed in two steps: basic coating and drying. As part of a unique varnish, a special formula that does not damage the nail. In addition, the product is removed using any acetone-containing liquid, but experts recommend using a special Nourishing Remover, which additionally moisturizes the nail plate and skin.

The Institute of sociological and marketing research of the Ukrainian company StyleSalon has compiled a list of the best nail polishes that were most popular in 2013.

Currently, manicure for women's hands is an integral part of the image, it must be present so that the hands look neat and well-groomed. However, just care is not enough, because a manicure should be a certain composition, be fashionable and durable.

When choosing nail polishes, you need to pay attention to the quality and durability of the cosmetic product so that you can enjoy neat and healthy nails. Do not try to save on yourself, because later you can pay for it.

There are ways to keep your hands well-groomed:

You can contact the master.
Carry out self-care at home.

Naturally, a manicurist is an ideal option for many, but a visit will require money, as well as free time. If this is not the case, then it is recommended to take care of your nails at home and do your own manicure. It is worth using only good quality varnishes so that the nails do not deteriorate, and the hands look attractive for a long time.
Lacquer must comply with certain requirements:

hold on for a long time;
do not flake off;
dry quickly;
contains only harmless components;
correct density and consistency;
pleasant, not strong smell.

Be sure to pay attention to the components that are present in the cosmetic product. There should be nitrocellulose, thinner, castor oil, synthetic resin, colored particles, acids and solvents.

Nitrocellulose provides resistance to external damage, makes the varnish shiny and radiant. All permanent varnishes should have this component. Plasticizers give the varnish elasticity. With the help of thinners, the varnish becomes viscous, sticks to the nails.

In varnishes, you can often see mother-of-pearl, which is mined from shells, fish scales or pearls. Also, nail products often contain metal particles that provide a stunning effect.

Varieties of varnishes

There are not only ordinary varnishes, but also other means that give a special effect to the nails:

therma;
chameleon;
cracle.

Terma lacquer is very popular among girls, because it is able to change color from temperature changes. In just one day, the nails will change shades and colors several times, as a result, the varnish will not get bored with its owner.

Varnish "hameleon" is also considered a rather original solution. It changes its color depending on the direction of the light.
Crackle varnish gives the effect of splitting and cracking, as on a ceramic product.

The difference between decorative varnishes and professional products

Decorative products can be applied to the nails daily. They are affordable to everyone, have a huge variety of colors and shades. It is worth looking at the composition of the varnish so that it includes only safe substances.

Professional varnishes must fully comply with certain standards. You need to look at the consistency of the varnish, the components in the composition, expiration dates and the integrity of the package. In no case should you use poor quality nail polish, because in this case the manicure will not last long, and the nail plate will soon deteriorate.

Lacquer selection

When choosing a nail polish, you need to take into account certain parameters and pay attention to some factors:

The packaging must be complete, without damage;
The smell instantly gives out the composition of the cosmetic product, because if the varnish exudes an acetone aroma, then you should not buy it, because of such a product, the nails begin to exfoliate and deteriorate;
Consistency is an important condition when purchasing varnish, because if the texture is wrong, then it will not rub off or be applied to the nails;
The composition of the product should not contain harmful substances;
The color scheme is a matter of taste for everyone, but it’s worth having an idea of what you want to see on the nails, which is why it is recommended to apply a little product on the nail in order to understand what the result will be in the end;
The brush should not be at the very bottom of the bottle; when applied, it should resemble a fan, then the coating will be uniform;
The expiration date can be allowed no more than six months, you should not purchase expired funds.

In some cases, stores are having a huge sale with discounts of more than 50% on various varnishes. Naturally, the purchase seems profitable, and the colors delight the eyes of consumers. However, be sure to look at the expiration dates. Very often, with the help of such promotions, it is planned to liquidate expired goods. Buyers can pay a tidy sum for an unusable varnish.

Applying the product is also very important when purchasing it, because there are varnishes that need special equipment, and not everyone has it at home.
