CND Vinylux nail polish

Gel polishes gained their popularity a couple of years ago and to this day do not lose ground. Among the many manufacturing companies, 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 conventional varnishes called "Vinylux", which help to make a manicure at home without the help of professionals and visits to beauty salons.

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

• the varnish should remain in perfect condition as long as possible - without chipped tips, cracks, creases and other things.
• the coating should lay down evenly even when applied independently, without the use of special devices.
• the drying process should not take a long time.
• the varnish should be safe for your own nail plate, it can be easily removed with a regular nail polish remover.

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

In order to appreciate this coating, you need to purchase only a color pigment and a fixer of the same brand. A durable coating that will last up to seven days on nails in excellent condition, guarantees a combination of varnish and fixer.

The manufacturer claims that the varnish will stick firmly only if the step-by-step instructions are fully followed:

1. Before applying the coating, it is necessary to do a manicure. You yourself can make a choice of what it will be: edged or not edged.
2. You need to file your nails to the same length and polish them with a nail file, so that the irregularities are not visible.
3. It is important not to forget to degrease them with ordinary liquid. nail polish remover or a special degreaser, if available.
4. The agent should be applied in a thin layer. After the first layer has dried, a second layer must be applied.
5. At the end of everything, a fixing coat should be applied. and wait for it to dry completely.

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

CND gel varnishes of the Vinylux line have a number of the following significant advantages:

• The color coating is multifunctional. In addition to acting as a base layer, which should ensure a snug 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 trendy shades. The topcoat 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 ProLight protective coating.
• Easy to apply. A convenient brush that gently covers the nail plate, applies varnish in a thin and even layer. What is most remarkable - the product does not strip.
• Dries within 10 minutes. You don't need to use additional fast fixatives, cold water or a UV lamp, you just have to wait a bit.
• Manicure is guaranteed not to be smeared, rubbed, the top layer will not fold.
• Economical expense. One bottle contains 15 ml of varnish, which is enough for 30-40 applications. But the manufacturer notes that the varnish will thicken rather than run out. In this connection, he suggests the following life hack: put it on a battery or heat it up a little with a hairdryer, and then it will again become less viscous.
• The cover can be easily removed. To clean the nail plate in just a matter of minutes, you just need to use a regular nail polish remover.

The CND brand tried to work out its Vinylux line from all sides in order to eliminate all possible shortcomings and create the perfect coating that would be unrivaled. However, there are still shortcomings:

• this nail polish can really look flawless for a week, but only when used in conjunction with a fixative coating, in connection with the acquisition of which the price is already doubled.
• some users note the absorption of the pigment by the nail plate, which, as you know, is very difficult to return to its original form.
• during the first day after applying the coating, you should not do household chores and keep your hands in water for a long time, since the varnish is very vulnerable at this time.

The shades of the Vinylux collection stand out for their saturation, inclusions 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 prevailing majority of varnishes are glossy, but you can also find with an unusual effect. One of the most popular is the chameleon. Polishes with a small shimmer interspersed also look interesting.

Due to the fact that the official representation of the CND trademark is very difficult to find, the prices for Vinylux products from intermediaries at different points of sale vary. 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. Therefore, the price for a set will be about 700-800 rubles.

There is no unequivocal answer to this question, since every woman for herself identifies a number of criteria that her ideal varnish and manicure must meet.

However, it is easy enough to highlight the distinguishing features of Vinylux and Shellac:

• different application method. Shellac is applied in three stages: base coat, color, top coat. The application of Vinylux consists of only two steps.
• the durability of the Shellac coating 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 be wiped off using regular nail polish remover.
• independent application, although it is possible when using both varnishes, ohHowever, it should be remembered that additional equipment, such as a UV lamp, is required to apply Shellac.
• Shellac loses "Vinylux" to those that its constant application eventually leads to the depletion of its own nail plate due to its rather harsh removal process, which is why it is recommended to take a break every 2 months after continuous use.

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

Some users find the brush to be somewhat inconvenient to apply, as its hairs are much sparser than standard lacquers, preventing even coverage from the first coat.

Other users complain about the thick consistency of the product and say that it should be adjusted to its ideal application.
