Compound
Before use, experts recommend that you always pay attention to the composition of the product. Usually, in addition to coloring pigments, it includes resins, ultraviolet absorbers, cellulose nitrate, plastic components and nutrients, there are also components that provide tight adhesion to the nail and bright shine.
Manufacturers who value the attention of consumers produce lacquer coatings using the latest technologies with improved harmless recipes.The absence of compounds hazardous to nails is indicated on the label as Big5free, Big4free or Big3free. The inscription on the Big3free label indicates the absence:
- formaldehyde;
- toluene (toluol, toluene, methylbenzene, phenylmethane);
- dibutyl phthalate (dibutyl phtalate, DBP).
With the label on the Big5free bottle, the manufacturer guarantees the exclusion of five chemicals such as:
- formaldehyde,
- toluene (toluol, toluene, methylbenzene, phenylmethane);
- dibutyl phthalate (dibutyl phtalate, DBP).
- formaldehyde resin (tosylamide, formaldehyde resin);
- camphor (camphor).
Best before date
Before using a manicure tool, you need to inspect the packaging. The label must be evenly glued to the bottle, the letters must not be erased. Studying the expiration date, which is 6 months from the date of manufacture, will prevent the use of low-quality expired goods.
Expired varnish loses its consumer properties, acquires an inhomogeneous consistency, becoming too liquid or thick and poorly distributed over the surface. Such a manicure can lead to tarnishing and yellowing of the nail plate.
Palette
Varnishes are available in several dozen shades - from discreet classic to ultra-bright, satisfying the needs of young discos visitors. Actual collections are being developed, represented not only by solid colors, but also by unusual shades and textures that meet the latest fashion trends and the mood of the season. For example, for winter - silvery and deep blue, orange, sea wave or tropical greenery - for summer.
You can create both a monotonously colored manicure, and a glossy or matte finish with patterns, sparkles, rhinestones and other decorative elements.Fashion allows the simultaneous use of several harmonizing or, conversely, boldly contrasting colors. The richness of the palette allows you to choose the varnish in such a way that, in combination with clothes, every woman in any situation can look spectacular.

Application Tips
The algorithm for applying a varnish coating, equally implemented in the salon and at home, is as follows:
- Before applying a new coating, it is necessary to remove the remnants of the previous manicure. If necessary, you can treat your nails with strengthening compounds, for example, IBX System. The effect of using the system is noticeable after several procedures.
- Next, you should deal with the cuticle, for which treat it with a removal gel and after waiting two minutes, remove the softened skin with an orange stick and move the edges. Remove excess gel with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Remove the natural gloss from the surface of the nails with a 220/280 manicure file.
- Then comes the degreasing of surfaces with a disinfectant. If necessary, a dehydrating agent should be used. After that, for better adhesion to the varnish, a primer layer should be applied, which does not need to be dried under the lamp, as it dries quickly.
- The base coat to protect the nail plate from the aggressive effects of pigments must be applied in a thin layer and polymerized under the lamp. To ensure that the coloring coating does not “run away” from the cuticle and side rollers, the sticky layer is removed from the base with a dry gel brush.
- Next, a colored agent is carefully applied in one or several thin layers so as not to get on the cuticle and be sure to paint over the nail end. Each layer is dried under a lamp.
- To top it off, the nail plates are covered with a top composition and polymerized. The stickiness of the coating is eliminated with the help of a special agent or oil.
- The final step will be the treatment of the cuticle with moisturizing oil for nails and cuticles.
