Relatively recently, gel polishes began to come into fashion.The developers of Chanel decided to keep up with fashion and created a series of resistant polishes with a gel effect. Collection Le Vernis"is a series of special super-resistant varnishes that stay on nails an order of magnitude longer than conventional decorative coatings.

Compound
One of the indisputable advantages of the products of this famous brand is its hypoallergenicity.

The ceramides contained in their composition are not only not harmful to nails, but also have a healing effect. In addition, the formula of varnishes contains iron and vitamins that strengthen the nail plate and protect it from brittleness and delamination.
However, despite the fact that this brand belongs to the category of elite, reviews of its products can drastically diverge.Many of her fans are delighted with the quality of Chanel polishes, claiming that they dry quite quickly and at the same time last long enough. Others, on the contrary, complain that varnishes peel off 2-3 days after application, that when stained in one layer, the brush leaves a trace of villi and, compared to other, more democratic brands, varnishes from this eminent company dry for a very long time. Maybe it's all about composition. Many cheap varnishes contain acetone, which allows it to dry quickly. However, at the same time, few people think that it also dries out the nail itself, making it more brittle and fragile. Wax and calcium are added to the composition of Chanel varnishes, which have a strengthening effect and are binding elements.
How to use
For make nail polish last longer, it is recommended to use a base coat ''La Base'', which is applied under the varnish base directly on the nail itself. Thanks to the vitamin E included in the base, it protects it from the aggressive effects of external factors, and argon oil, also contained in the product, saturates the plate with nutrients, evens it out and corrects imperfections. This base can be used as an auxiliary preliminary element of manicure, as well as an independent care product.
In order for Le Vernis lacquers to last longer, it is recommended to apply a product as a finishing touch. ''Le Gel Coat'', which creates the effect of gel polish and prolongs the life of the decorative coating by an average of 6-7 days without the use of a UV lamp. After drying, it has a glossy surface, enhancing its color and protecting it from chipping.This tool is recommended to be applied in two layers. After you have applied the base coat, then the polish itself, you can apply the first coat of the ''Le Gel Coat'' top coat, let it dry, and then cover the nails with a second coat.
The brush of this top coat is wide enough, which allows you to apply it in 1-2 strokes. The texture of the top is quite dense, after drying it is difficult to correct. And since it dries literally within a few seconds, its consumption should be minimal.
