CND Vinylux Nail Polish

Gel varnishes gained their popularity a couple of years ago and to this day do not lose ground. Among the many manufacturers, perhaps, the most famous can be considered the company CND. In addition to the production of gel polishes, the company also produces a line of ordinary varnishes called "Vinylux", which help to do a manicure at home without the help of professionals and visiting beauty salons.

Each woman has her own specific preferences regarding manicure, coating and color of lacquer, but still there is an opportunity to highlight some common characteristics that absolutely everyone is paying attention to:

• The lacquer should remain in perfect condition for as long as possible - without chipped tips, cracks, creases and so on.
• the coating should lie flat even when self-applied, without the use of special tools.
• the drying process should not take a lot of time.
• Lacquer must be safe for its own nail plate, it can be easily removed with the usual nail polish remover.

The coating for nails CND "Vinylux" has all the above qualities. Moreover, it also saves you time and money, as for a standard salon manicure you must apply a base coat, a color pigment and fix it with a top. These varnishes should be applied directly to the nail, without wasting time on the base coat.

In order to appreciate this coating, you need to purchase only a color pigment and a fixer of the same brand. Durable coating that will last on the nails in excellent condition for seven days, ensures a combination of lacquer coating and fixer.

The manufacturer claims that the varnish will stand firmly only if full compliance with step-by-step instructions:

1. Before applying the coating, it is necessary to make a manicure. You yourself can make the choice of how it will be: trimmed or not trimmed.
2. It is necessary to file the nails in one length and polish them with a nail file, so that irregularities are not visible.
3. It is important not to forget to degrease them with ordinary liquid. for removing varnish or a special degreaser, if available.
4. The tool should be applied in a thin layer. After the first layer has dried, apply the second one.
5. At the end of all should be applied fixing coating and wait until it is completely dry.

First you need to paint the center, and then go to the sides of the nail plate.

More information about the gel varnish CND "Vinylux" you will learn from the following video.

CND gel varnishes in the Vinylux range have several significant advantages:

• Color coating is multifunctional. Besides the fact that it acts as a base layer, which should ensure a tight fit of the varnish to the nail plate, it also creates an elegant, weightless coating that does not weigh down the nail and does not look like a foreign body.
• Wide color palette of trend colors. The finishing coating allows not only to keep the varnish for seven days, but also has the unique property of strengthening the nail plate due to the new formula of the protective coating ProLight.
• Easy to apply. A comfortable brush that gently covers the nail plate, causes varnish with a thin and even layer. What is most remarkable - the tool does not strip.
• Dries within 10 minutes. No need to use additional funds for quick fixation, cold water or a UV lamp, you just need to wait a little.
• Manicure is guaranteed not to be smeared, to rub, the top layer will not be washed out.
• Economical expense. In one bottle 15 ml of lacquer, which is enough for 30-40 applications. But the manufacturer notes that the varnish will thicken rather than end. In this connection, the following life hacking offers: put it on the battery or heat it up with a hair dryer, and then it will again become less viscous.
• The coating is easily removed. To clean the nail plate in just a few minutes, you only need to use regular nail polish remover.

The CND brand tried to work out its Vinylux line from all sides in order to eliminate all possible flaws and create an ideal coverage that would be out of competition. However, there are still some shortcomings:

• This nail polish is really able to look perfect for a week, but only if it is used together with a fixing coating, due to the acquisition of which the price already doubles.
• Some users note that the pigment is absorbed by the nail plate, which is known to be very difficult to return to its original appearance.
• during the first day after coating, it is not necessary to do household chores and keep your hands in water for a long time, as the varnish is very vulnerable at this time.

Shades of the collection "Vinylux" stand out in saturation, interspersed and other visual and decorative components.

There are fashionable calm shades that are relevant both in the office and on vacation. There are several shades of pink, among which you can find cold, warm, light, satin and so on.

The overwhelming majority of varnishes are glossy, but can also be found with an unusual effect. One of the most popular is the chameleon. Also interesting look varnishes with a small interspersed chimmer.

Due to the fact that the official representation of the CND trademark is very difficult to find, the prices of Vinylux funds from intermediaries at different points of sale are different. On average, the cost per bottle is about 450 rubles. However, it is worth remembering that in addition to the coloring pigment, which immediately acts as a base layer, it is necessary to purchase a fixative. Consequently, the price per set will be about 700-800 rubles.

There is no unequivocal answer to this question, since every woman herself identifies a number of criteria with which her ideal lacquer and manicure must correspond.

However, it is easy enough to distinguish the distinctive features of Vinylux and Shellac:

• a different method of application. Shellac is applied in three stages: base coat, color, top. Applying "Vinylux" consists of only two steps.
• Shellac coating resistance is about 1.5-2 times longer than "Vinylux", that is about 3 weeks.
• Shellac must be removed using special tools and equipment. "Vinylux" can also be wiped off using ordinary nail polish remover.
• independent application though possible using both varnishes, ohHowever, it must be remembered that the application of Shellac will require additional equipment, such as, for example, an ultraviolet lamp.
• Shellac loses "Vinylux" to those that its permanent application ultimately leads to the depletion of its own nail plate due to its rather rigid removal process, which is why it is recommended to take a break every 2 months after continuous use.

Independent reviews of experts in the field of beauty industry say that this type of coverage is ideal for women who are going on a long journey and at the same time do not have the opportunity to update their manicure every few days.

Some users find the brush to be applied somewhat uncomfortable, since its hairs are much less common than those of standard varnishes, which prevent uniform coating from the first layer.

Other users complain about the thick consistency of the tool and say that it is necessary to adjust to its ideal application.
