Semi-Permanent Varnish Application Protocol - Easy Steps for a Long-Lasting and Vibrant Manicure

1. Hand washing:
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap to remove any oil or dirt residue, then disinfect them.

1. Nail preparation:
• Remove any existing varnish using nail polish remover.
• Cut and file your nails to the desired shape.
• Gently push back the cuticles using a boxwood stick.

Tips: Small dead skins on the surface of the nail must be removed, the semi-permanent varnish cannot adhere properly to an oily surface like the skin.

1. Image:
• Gently file the surface of your nails using a file without pressing too hard to mattify the nail and create a more adherent surface without damaging the nail.
2. Dusting:
• Use a dusting brush and a cotton pad soaked in cleaner to remove dust from the nails.
3. Application of Nail prep and Primer without acid:

• Apply a thin layer of Nail prep and let air dry.

• Apply a thin coat of Acid Free Primer and allow to air dry.

1. Application of the semi-permanent varnish base:
• Apply a thin coat of Lollibond Base to each nail, avoiding the cuticles.
• Catalyze for 30 seconds under the UV/LED lamp.

Tips: There is a sticky layer of semi-permanent varnish left, do not remove it, it will allow the other layers of semi-permanent varnish to adhere well

1. Application of semi-permanent varnish:
• Apply a thin coat of Lollilac semi-permanent varnish in the color of your choice to each nail.
• Avoid touching skin or cuticles.
• Catalyze 30 seconds under UV/LED lamp, 60 seconds for dark colors.
2. Second coat of varnish:
• Apply a second coat of semi-permanent varnish for a more intense color and better coverage.
• Catalyze 30 seconds under UV/LED lamp, 60 seconds for dark colors.
3. Application of the finishing Top Coat:
• Apply a coat of Top Coat Finish to give a brilliant shine and protect your color.
• Catalyze for 60 seconds under the UV/LED lamp
4. Final cleaning:
• Our Top Coat does not have a sticky layer. But if you use another finish for example Top Coat Satin, remove the sticky layer using a cellulose pad soaked in cleaner to reveal a perfect manicure.
5. Hydration:
• Finish by applying a cuticle oil to nourish your nails and cuticles.
  
  

Additional tips:

• Do not open your varnishes, base and top coat in sunlight or in front of a switched on UV/LED lamp, this may cause them to harden in their bottle.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals on your nails to prolong the wear of your polish.
