Requirements that cannot be neglected
Vinylux - polish for demanding women
Women have many demands on nail polish. It should be:
- quick-drying;
- persistent;
- safe;
- easy to apply (even at home);
- affordable.
Vinylux, a nail polish whose popularity is gaining momentum in different parts of the world, meets these requirements. As a result, a woman receives an almost “indestructible” manicure: washing dishes, washing by hand, or other everyday chores are not a problem.
Instructions for use
The manufacturer recommends applying the varnish to a clean and grease-free nail plate. You can also use one of the preparation elements from the gel polish application technology - run a buff over the surface to remove shine and oil from the nail. It is advisable to renew the tip of the nail.
“Vinilux” is a nail polish whose instructions for use clearly indicate that no base coat is needed for its use. This is possible thanks to the composition of the color coating. Thus, color is immediately applied to the prepared nail.
You need to paint your nails with quick and precise movements, because the polish dries quickly. If necessary, apply 2-3 layers for greater color density. Also, the Vinylux top will help hide uneven surfaces and nail plates. After application, nail polish acquires a beautiful gloss and the promised durability.
Complete drying occurs in 10–15 minutes.
Record drying speed
Color palette
If you use regular varnish, its drying speed varies within 15-30 minutes. In this case, it is advisable to use nail lamps that emit ultraviolet or LED rays. A liquid drying agent is also useful: it must be sprayed after the manicure has already been done.
Vinylux is a completely different matter. This is a tandem consisting of two products: the first is the varnish itself, the second is a special fixative.
Even without additional techniques, the Vinylux complex dries in a record 10 minutes. This is a great advantage for those who value not only the beauty of their nails, but also their time.
Nail polish CND VINYLUX - reviews
Sorry...three problems. Yes, that’s exactly what this polish can do. The most important, the most decisive for those who, like me, are lazy, but still want to be beautiful.
“New” came out a relatively long time ago, but for some reason it didn’t grab me for the time being. I didn’t want to, because I didn’t see it on our sale at all. Why want something that is inaccessible?! But everything changed when, according to the law of meanness, I walked through the shopping center arm in arm with my stingy husband. My eyes lit up, my hands shook nervously, but the price of 460 rubles for 1 bottle stopped me. Of course, they would eat me on the spot if they found out that the cost of 4-5 bottles of nail polish equals a seasonal oil change. I thought about it, doubted it, started reading a bunch of reviews, because first of all I had to decide for myself - do I need it? The reviews were frightening, this week's promised durability fell off the next day, well, if you're lucky, after 3, besides, the varnish requires a topcoat, which dries itself, not allowing the varnish to run out. And without it, alas and ah, and this is a FACT, the varnish is the most boring, ugly and low-quality that you can have.
But all the worries are behind me, my husband is on a business trip, and I, together with my WANT, are jogging in the 32 degree frost for a long-awaited purchase. The more he was scolded, the more I wanted to prove that everything was wrong. Despite the meager palette, I chose my favorite colors - fuchsia pink and lilac pearlescent-calm, for everyday use. I thought that if the bright one would let me down, then the light one would certainly please me. I was wrong. Both were pleased.
The first problem, global, that this varnish solved. YOU CAN PAINT IT BEFORE BEDTIME!
No marks of hair, linen, or just peeling paint. None! The only condition is that it needs to be done at least an hour in advance. The varnish dries very quickly and perfectly, and really hardens. Between layers you need to maintain a 5-minute interval and you can apply the next one. It paints without any problems, well, varnish is like varnish; trying to find shortcomings or flaws in the process itself is a thankless task. The most common process. It does not require a base underneath, but requires a top coat on top, because without it, not only does vinyllux lose its essence of durability for 7 days, but it generally loses all the beauty of its appearance - under-gloss, under-matte, with the sins of layering... But the top right away changes reality, turning your manicure into an almost perfect one.
The photo is not of the first day, but in my opinion of the 3rd, because there is no way to catch the freshly painted fingers in daylight.
And this is the second shade, it’s a little streaky, but in real life it’s not noticeable.
So here's the second problem. Persistence. I ACTUALLY WALK WITH THESE TWO SHADES FOR 6 DAYS!
The 7th does not work out, because it is on this day that the cleaning falls, and the washing of all family members who are not yet independent. But even after such a difficult day, the polish is still suitable for going out to the store with it!
The ends are rubbed, but it hasn’t fallen off or peeled off! You can cut this length for a restaurant. The view from afar is generally non-lethal, who can say that it lasts for 7 days?!
Well, yes, it’s worn out from working with papers, and even the bed has grown, but the look is so far the most persistent of all that have happened in my life.
And the third problem is my most problematic :). VARNISH HELPS TO GROW LENGTH
I have been painting with it continuously for 5 weeks, during this period not a single nail has flaked or broken off. Either this is due to the fact that it itself is harder than others and simply seals the nail plate, or due to the fact that the impact of nail polish remover has decreased by 2 or even 3 times, but the fact is that I am finally growing the length! No Trinds or biogels gave this result. Without medicinal foundations, I finally became the owner of good scratches.
Never before have I been able to wear one color for a week. I've been on the same page for over a month now with vinyllux. Its quality characteristics gave powerful support to my laziness, greatly simplifying my life. I think these 2 shades are not the limit. I'm already going for the third one today. And I would like to advise everyone to give this new product a chance. If you calmly wear the most ordinary varnishes for 3 days, then vinyllux will work on your nails, if you follow a few rules when applying - apply to oil-free nails, and give layers at least a 5-minute interval between them. All. Manicure for the working week is ready.
And now 9 months have passed. During this time, I painted my fingernails with a different polish only twice, and then only to match my outfit. The rest of the time it’s just Vinylux. From such adoration, the light varnish was already scraped along the bottom with a brush - this has not happened since the 7th grade, when, due to lack of money, I was forced to have only 2-3 bottles of cheap varnish. The pink one is unkillable, although half of it is also left, but lately I’ve had it more as a pedicure option. I can say one thing - the base, the same one in the black bottle, did not dry out! To this day, she copes well with her duties. The only thing is, I don’t see how much of it there is. Yes, the varnishes themselves begin to thicken towards the end, but on the other hand, this did not stop me from finishing it. I am satisfied with the quality of my nails, and I don’t see any point in continuing to have biogel strengthening, although I have long dreamed of trying it. For what? Again I gave 500 rubles - and now he’s my new friend:
So autumnal, deep.
It’s a pity that I only see them in one place, and the price doesn’t allow me to buy at least 3-4 shades for variety. These are the only disadvantages that upset me, but they make our friendship with Vinylux even stronger!
Stronger every day
The next point is resilience. Products from well-known brands do not always have this property. Within a couple of days after its application, chips and microcracks appear, the coating begins to peel off, the color begins to fade, and the woman is forced to do the manicure all over again.
CND specialists took this unpleasant feature into account. Therefore, Vinylux nail coating is characterized by increased durability. It retains its original appearance for... a week. Moreover, every day Vinylux coating becomes more durable and strong.
Benefits from manufacturers
Some time ago, CND released a product with loud promises and conflicting reviews. It's called "Vinylux" - a nail polish that has a number of advantages desired by every woman over other similar cosmetics:
- No special nail preparation is required.
- No base application required.
- Dries quickly without the use of a UV (or LED) lamp.
- The coating lasts a week and becomes stronger every day.
- Removable with regular nail polish remover.
- The color scheme matches many shades of gel polishes from this manufacturer.
All of the above advantages inexorably tip the scales in favor of the Vinylux coating.
Everything ingenious is simple
Getting a neat and beautiful manicure at home is not an easy task. It is difficult for an amateur to apply varnish in such a way as to avoid the formation of bubbles, roughness and unevenly painted areas. However, a new development from CND allows us to solve this problem. Most users note the convenient brush, which allows you to apply polish to the surface of the nails with maximum precision.
Of course, it's not just the brush. Both the Vinylux composition and its texture provide a high-quality coating. Taken together, these factors allow you to get a manicure at home that is not inferior in quality to a salon one.
The algorithm for working with Vinylux products is simple, like everything ingenious.
- Step one (but not required): use the “base”. This coating will maximize the protection of the nail plate from chemicals and will also extend the “life” of the manicure.
- Step two: applying the Vinylux varnish itself. You can use from one to three layers - it all depends on how rich the nail color should be. In this case, each layer will dry for no more than three minutes.
- Step three: use a fixative from CND. It also protects the varnish from mechanical influences: as mentioned above, a manicure with Vinylux is not afraid of everyday housework. In addition, the CND fixative contains photoinitiators. It is thanks to these substances that, under the influence of sunlight, the varnish “seizes” more and more, and the coating becomes stronger.
Step-by-step instruction
How to apply cnd vinylux:
- The first step is to disinfect the skin of your hands with a special Cool Blue by CND product.
- Do not forget about processing the cuticle, otherwise the manicure will not be as neat as you would like.
- As usual, before applying nail polish, you need to degrease them.
- Please note that cnd vinylux is applied in two layers, as shown in the step-by-step photo. We start from the middle, then paint the left side of the nail first, and then the second. Let the first coat dry and apply the second.
- In order for cnd vinylux nail polish to last the stated seven days, you must finally cover your nails with a special topcoat.
After a week, the manicure remains the same as in the first days. But even with such strength, it can be easily removed with the most common nail polish remover.
Like any other product, vinyllux varnish has some disadvantages. The main disadvantage is the price. For top coat and colored varnish you need to pay within 1,000 rubles. Plus, you will have to adapt to the consistency of the coating and the not very convenient brush. You should also be careful with bright colors because due to the lack of a base, the pigment can become embedded in the natural nail. As a result, the plate will acquire an unnatural shade.
Nail care can be economical
The cost of Vinylux is slightly higher than the cost of similar products. However, its use allows you to save money, and this happens for several reasons.
- Vinylux lasts on nails on average 2 times longer than regular polish. This means that its consumption is much less.
- Using this varnish at home, you can significantly save on a trip to the salon.
- Savings also apply to the use of additional means - a lamp or dryer. A manicure coated with Vinylux varnish does not need them.
- With Vinylux at hand and a little experience, you can start making money by providing manicure services at home.
About chemistry
The desired durability is achieved due to the composition of the product. It contains no harmful substances, which makes it hypoallergenic and gives everyone the opportunity to have a high-quality and beautiful coating on their nails.
Long-lasting Vinylux nail polish is becoming stronger every day. Magic? No. The effect of sunlight on special particles (photoinitiators) in the coating composition does its job. This also helps the polish dry faster in sunlight (which is why it needs to be applied quickly to prevent uneven curing).
