Semi-permanent
Semi-permanent
Semi-permanent is a treatment that covers the natural nail with products that, after polymerization, ensure a duration of 3-4 weeks or more.
The collection of semi-permanent nail polishes from Cactus For You offers a wide selection of bases, colors, and other high-quality products designed for a flawless, long-lasting, and durable result.
Features of semi-permanent
Semi-permanent is particularly appreciated for its durability and strength. After choosing the type of treatment – classic or reinforced – and the most suitable base, the application and polymerization proceed under a UV or LED lamp.
Advantages of semi-permanent
- Long-lasting: ensures perfect and well-groomed nails for weeks, unlike classic nail polish.
- Chip resistance: resistant to small daily impacts, it can help strengthen weak and fragile nails by protecting the natural plate.
- Impeccable shine: offers an impeccable shine that lasts a long time.
- Versatility of colors and finishes: available in a wide range of shades and finishes to meet every style need.
Application procedure for semi-permanent
Following a correct application procedure is essential to achieve optimal results.
- Nail preparation: file and buff the surface of the nail, push back the cuticles and remove them with the appropriate scissors. Complete by degreasing the nail with the Cleanser to eliminate any residue.
- Application of Base Step One: an elastic base that improves the adhesion of subsequent products and protects the natural nail. Apply it in a thin layer over the entire nail plate and cure for 1 minute.
- Choice and application of the base: choose the most suitable base for the treatment (reinforced or classic). For a reinforced semi-permanent, apply the base using the arching technique; for a simple coverage, apply it like a classic nail polish.
- Application of color: apply a layer of semi-permanent polish and cure under a UV or LED lamp. If necessary, apply a second layer to intensify the color.
- Application of Top Coat: finish with the Reflex Top Coat to enhance the durability and shine of the treatment.
Removal of semi-permanent
To remove semi-permanent, both reinforced and classic, it is necessary to use a drill. Here are some important tips to protect natural nails:
- Choose the right bit: use a specific bit based on the type of product to be removed and its thickness.
- Training on the use of the drill: it is advisable to attend a course on the correct use of the drill, as improper use could cause damage to the nails, even permanent.
Differences between gel and semi-permanent
Gel is a harder and more durable product, ideal for reconstructions, extensions, and coverings. Semi-permanent, on the other hand, is mainly designed for covering natural nails, but also offers a good level of reinforcement. Both guarantee a long duration, ranging from 3 to 4 weeks.

Our collection includes:
- Base Step One: essential for protecting the nails and ensuring the adhesion of subsequent products.
- Over 260 colors: a wide selection of colors, including solid shades and glitter, with different effects.

Tips for a perfect manicure
- Thorough preparation: proper nail preparation is essential to prevent lifting and ensure optimal hold.
- Correct application: apply the product in thin layers to ensure complete polymerization.Too thick layers can prevent proper adhesion, causing peeling like a film.
- Filing the free edge: for greater strength and to avoid lifting at the tip, lightly file the free edge at the end of the treatment, achieving the right thickness.
