Is there a persistent varnish? Let's see how the world famous CND varnish corporation answers this question by proposing a new product - “Vinylux”, a varnish that solves the problem of manicure resistance.
What does the manufacturer of "Vinylux" promise?
Nail polish, which has a resistance like gel, and at the same time does not require a UV lamp - the need for such a coating is more relevant than ever. Professional systems, such as Shellac, have appeared that allow you to achieve excellent shine and durability, which is very convenient when traveling, for special occasions, and simply for women who lead an active lifestyle and do not have time for frequent manicures. But Shellac has a significant drawback that makes its widespread distribution difficult - it is difficult to use at home! It is necessary to purchase special equipment (UV lamp), observe the application technology (base, color gel, finish, remove the sticky layer). In addition, many women often prefer to change the shade of varnish, and not once every two to three weeks. That is why the American company CND, which, incidentally, is the author of Shellac, decided to release a varnish that combines the advantages of a gel and regular manicure.
New "Vinylux" - nail polish
- Presented in 62 shades for every taste: from classic to trendy (yellow cream - Bicycle Yellow, metallic wave green - Daring escape, golden green duochrome - Gilded Pleasure, etc.).
- It has a professional volume of 15 ml, at an affordable price - about 300-400 rubles. per bottle, which is the usual price for professional varnish (for comparison, the cost of varnish category "Lux" - about 1000 rubles.). But - an important point! - in order for the CND Vinylux system to show all its capabilities, it is necessary to purchase a special top-coat. Its price is about 500 rubles.
- Dries with the top on its own 10-15 minutes. Does not require fixing under an ultraviolet lamp.
- It lasts a week and, which is extremely important, does not lose its properties during this period. Even at the end of the socks, the varnish has the same fresh gloss, and at the same time no chips, scratches or cracks.
- Plastic textures and a comfortable thin brush. It is easy to draw an even semicircle near the cuticle with a varnish.
- It does not require the use of a base, like ordinary varnishes, the application of which (especially bright shades) resembles a game of roulette. It is impossible to say in advance what color will cause yellowing of the nails. "Vinyllux" is a varnish that does not stain nails regardless of color.
- Contains no harmful ingredients. Marked as big3free.
- Easy to remove with regular nail polish remover.
Vinyllux - nail polish: reviews
Let's go over some of the points mentioned above and see if these statements are confirmed in customer reviews?
As for the gloss, speed of drying of the coating and removal, there were no complaints: the varnish really dries very quickly, beautifully shines, and is easily removed. In 15 minutes, the manicure is ready completely, that is, you can do ordinary business. The only caveat - the incredible brilliance provides exactly the top coating.
In terms of durability, it is very difficult to draw unambiguous conclusions on reviews, given that in ordinary varnishes it depends more on the nails themselves than on varnish. Someone wears Chanel varnishes for four days, while someone else flies on the second or even the first day. So with the varnish "Vinylux". He disappointed many, although he pleased many. Some say that the durability is really amazing: after a week of socks and active work with your hands, there are only barely noticeable scuffs on the tips of the nails! Against the background of enthusiastic reviews, the words of disappointment are especially noticeable: “it holds like regular varnish for 3-4 days,” “the gloss disappears on the second day,” “microcracks are visible on the third day,” and “very noticeable chips on the third day.” But it’s easy to notice that these are all reviews about different shades. Indeed, if you read the reviews of professionals working in beauty salons, it turns out that the properties of varnishes "Vinylux CND" are very dependent on color.
The quality of the application, judging by the reviews, also depends on the color. For example, Bicycle Yellow is no different from most yellow varnishes of many other brands. For an acceptable coating, it requires three layers, while applying all three layers will make his mistress nervous: the brush leaves streaks and bald spots. And the red ones (which in general are really very obedient) are ideal in the Vinyllux lineup, although rare claims have been voiced that they are too liquid and flow under the cuticle.
Thus, “Vinylux” - a varnish that promised so much, may present not quite a pleasant surprise, but it may turn out to be a find. Reviews on the network are enough to choose the shade that is not satisfactory to anyone. In addition, the top deserves special attention, because it ensures the durability of the coating. Some experiments on applying it to varnishes of other brands turned out to be really successful and extended the life of manicure for a long time. Of course, one should take into account the rules of persistent manicure, namely: to paint over the ends and carefully degrease the nail before application: probably some of the Vinylux customers didn’t work because they were bad on their own, but because they “didn’t know how to cook it”. ..
