The semi -permanent ruins the nails ?

The semi -permanent treatment, contrary to what is thought, does not ruin the nails. Indeed, it can be a valid ally to protect fragile nails or damaged by breakage and impacts. The nails risk damaging only if low quality or unsafe products are used, or if the semi -permanent is not removed correctly, causing damage to the surface of the nail. It is therefore essential to follow the correct steps for the removal, avoiding detaching the product forcefully.

What a difference is between the classic semi -permanent and the semi -permanent reinforced ?

The classic semi -permanent provides for the application of an elastic and flexible base, followed by the color and top coat in thin layers, just like a traditional nail polish. Once polymerized, these layers guarantee uniform and lasting coverage, which can last 3-4 weeks. It is particularly suitable for healthy, strong and short nails, which do not require additional reinforcements.
The reinforced semi-permanent, on the other hand, applies rigid or semi-archidal bases with the rounded technique, which creates a greater thickness in the area of the apex of the natural nail. This additional layer strengthens and protects the nail, making the ideal treatment for those with fragile nails or impaired impact. The duration of the reinforced semi -permanent can go up to 4 weeks.

Why does the semi-permanent polish come off after one day?

The detachment or lifting of the semi -permanent may depend on various factors. Firstly, an inadequate preparation of the nail can prevent the correct adhesion of the product. Furthermore, if the polymerization has not been performed correctly, the product could detach itself more easily. Finally, the use of poor quality products can compromise the treatment.

Gel Polish

Gel polish is a treatment that covers the natural nail with products that, after curing, are designed to last 3–4 weeks or more.

The Cactus For You gel polish collection includes a wide selection of bases, colours and related products designed for durable, resistant professional manicures.

Gel polish features

Gel polish is valued for durability and resistance. After choosing the treatment type – classic or reinforced – and the most suitable base, the products are applied and cured under a UV or LED lamp.

Benefits of gel polish

Long wear: designed to keep nails neat for weeks compared with traditional nail polish.
Chip resistance: resistant to minor everyday impacts and can help reinforce weak or fragile nails by protecting the natural nail plate.
Glossy finish: provides a high-shine finish designed to last.
Range of colours and finishes: available in a broad selection of shades and effects.

Gel polish application procedure

Following the correct application procedure is essential for the intended result.

Nail preparation: file and mattify the nail surface, push back the cuticles and remove them with suitable manicure scissors. Finish by cleansing the nail with Cleanser to remove residue.
Base Step One: an elastic adhesion base designed to improve the adhesion of subsequent products and protect the natural nail. Apply a thin layer across the nail plate and cure for 1 minute.
Choosing and applying the base: select the base suited to a reinforced or classic treatment. For reinforced gel polish, apply the base using the apex technique; for simple coverage, apply it in a thinner layer.
Colour application: apply a layer of gel polish and cure under a UV or LED lamp. Apply a second layer if needed to intensify the colour.
Top Coat: finish with Top Coat Reflex to increase shine and support longer wear.

Removing gel polish

According to the source instructions, both reinforced and classic gel polish are removed with a nail drill. Important points include:

Choose the correct nail drill bit: use a bit suited to the type and thickness of product being removed.
Training in the use of a nail drill: professional training is recommended because incorrect use can damage the natural nail, including permanent damage.

Gel vs gel polish

Builder gel is more rigid and is designed for nail extensions, structure and overlays. Gel polish is mainly designed to cover the natural nail, although reinforced services can also provide support. The source information describes both treatments as lasting around 3–4 weeks.

Products in the gel polish collection

The collection includes:

Base Step One: an adhesion base used before subsequent products.
More than 260 colours: a broad selection of solid, glitter and effect shades.
Top Coat Reflex No Wipe: a glossy, resistant no-wipe Top Coat that does not leave an inhibition layer.

Tips for a professional manicure

Careful preparation: correct preparation helps reduce lifting and supports adhesion.
Correct application: apply products in thin layers to support complete curing. Layers that are too thick can affect adhesion and curing.
Free-edge finishing: the source protocol recommends lightly filing the free edge at the end of the service to refine the thickness and reduce lifting at the tip.
