Semi-permanent varnish to do at home is a practical solution for obtaining well-groomed and long-lasting nails. Easy to apply, it requires a base, a color of your choice, and a top coat, all to dry under a UV or LED lamp. This method provides long-lasting hold, typically up to two weeks, without flaking. This is an excellent option for those who want a professional result without regularly visiting the salon.
First Choice Starter Set, Neonail
“I would like a brilliant result”, Audrey, 41 years old.
Most : upon opening the box, I found the presentation very pretty. The lamp comes with complete equipment, with a file and wooden sticks to push back cuticles. Using the kit is easy and well explained. The lacquers are shiny and hold well on my nails.
The least: it lacks an oil to nourish the cuticles. The packaging of skincare products lacks color and originality.
The Discovery Kit with Led Pro Lamp, Ôdass
“I want to avoid the false nail effect”, Stéphanie, 39 years old.
Most : the packaging of the kit with its wooden details is original. During the first use, I discovered semi-permanent varnishes with the pleasant texture. They dry quickly and the result is very fine on my nails. The brushes provide a precise result and the scent of the formula is not too strong.
The least: there is not enough choice of varnish shades.
Green Flash Box, Manucurist
“I’m looking for a gentle formula”, Emilie, 45 years old.
Most : the packaging, in paper and cardboard, is in line with the brand that focuses on naturalness. The varnish is fluid and the shades are pretty. The lamp is compact and the numbers on the different varnishes offer guided use. Finally, the color is easily removed without damaging my nails.
The least: The drying time indicated is not long enough to obtain a completely dry varnish.
Manicure Starter Set, Hi Hybrid
“I want a long-lasting result”, Déborah, 39 years old.
Most : with its pastel colors of water green and pink, the box is girly and very colorful. The kit is well presented and compartmentalized, with a presentation note. The varnish is easy to apply on the nail, even for beginners like me. After 8 days, my manicure is still impeccable.
The least: the size of the UV lamp is a little too small for my hands or feet.
