Reinforced semipermanent:how to put it on, duration and cost

Reinforced semipermanent is a valuable ally for those who have brittle nails but do not want to give up having their hands always in order. Here is how to achieve a perfect manicure with this product, how long it lasts and how much it costs.

Applying reinforced semipermanent with LACTUBE™

Reinforced semipermanent is the perfect middle ground between gel and basic semipermanent: the former product, due to its structure and density has a longer shelf life than the latter, which, given its fluid consistency, has a lower hold and preserves nails less from possible breakage.

In the run-up to summer and beyond, reinforced semipermanent enables the benefits of gel and traditional semipermanent nail polish to be combined. It can be applied as follows:

• Nail preparation, removing nail polish, semipermanent or not, if present, and treating cuticles. This preparatory step is essential in order to ensure a long hold of the glaze. Use NAIL PREP, a specific product from the LACTUBE line that modifies the moisture and permeability of the nail, preparing it to receive the semi-permanent treatment;
• application of BASE FIBER LACTUBE™, an acid- and solvent-free product capable of making semi-permanent nail polish last for more than 3 weeks. You can spread a thin layer on each nail and then give it a reinforcement at the stress point (curve C) and let it dry in a UV/LED lamp;
• Spread the colored nail polish, applying a thin layer starting at the cuticle and pushing toward the end of the nail. Care must be taken in covering the nail completely, without “painting” the nail bed area. Continue on all nails;
• Polymerize under UV/LED lamp to photoharden. It usually takes only 60 seconds under LED lamp (or 2 minutes under UV (36W), although times may vary and depending on the power of the instrument;
• Application of top coat to seal and protect the manicure. Allow to dry for the recommended time.
• Remove the dispersion layer after curing the nails with LACTUBE’s CLEASER ;

Cost of reinforced semipermanent
