The unique composition is completely safe and retains the brightness of the color throughout the entire time of wearing the manicure.

At the moment, the Vinylux color palette consists of more than 130 shades. All of them are the result of the work of the manufacturer CND with the world's leading fashion designers. For more than ten years, the company's craftsmen have been taking part in all kinds of fashion shows and the most prestigious fashion shows in the USA, Italy and Australia. Therefore, Vinylux varnish colors are not only the most popular, but also the most fashionable.

In addition, the main colors of the varnish palette can be mixed or pigments added to them. Thus, nothing limits the imagination of masters and customers.

The entire Vinylux product line consists of several blocks, each of which is characterized by depth and brightness of shades, has its own additional effects and is designed for a specific audience.

Among all the shades of Vinylux, there was a place for trendy calm "office" shades, and for noticeable dark monochromatic coatings, and for the brightest saturated and creative colors. There are coatings in the Vinylux collection with various effects (shimmers, chameleon varnishes, matte and sparkling). Such a wide selection allows you to choose the right manicure for any occasion.

While working on the creation of Vinylux, CND calculated all the details of the formula to ensure high-quality long-lasting coverage and a flawless manicure. The following characteristics can be attributed to the positive properties of Vinylux varnishes.

• If applied correctly, the varnish stays on the nails without any damage or abrasion for up to 7 days. Throughout the entire period of wearing, the coating does not lose its original color and shine. Moreover, thanks to the ProLight technology, the strength under the influence of light only gradually increases. This occurs under the action of the photoinitiators that are part of the Vinylux formula. Thanks to them, the decorative coating does not turn yellow over time.

• To create a manicure with Vinylux, the use of a base for varnish is not required - the formula of the composition is two-component, therefore the first layer serves as both a base and a decorative color coating.
• The absence of formaldehyde and resins, dibutyl ether and methylbenzene in the composition makes Vinylux varnish completely safe for nails.

• The varnish is easy to apply and lays down on the nail plate in an even thin layer. At the same time, the nails look natural.
• The widest palette of colors with various textures and effects is constantly updated and replenished with new solutions that are relevant for the season. The selected shade fully matches the color of the coating on the nail plate.

Vinylux varnishes can be used independently at home. This does not require any special skills or special devices. The coating dries naturally.

• The surface dries completely in ten minutes. This property is important for those who are faced with slow drying of coatings. Such customers are familiar with the problems of a smeared top layer or "soft" coating inside, as well as when imprints of any textures are formed on the surface. With thin and quick-drying Vinylux, these problems do not arise.

• Low consumption. Vinylux is a fairly economical tool - one bottle of varnish and one bottle of top coat 15 ml each is enough for an average of forty coatings.
• The varnish is suitable for both manicure and pedicure. The varnish not only provides a beautiful coating of nails, but also protects them from possible damage.

• A standard product is used to remove the coating. It is only important that it must contain acetone in the composition. But the CND product is also available to buyers. This tool removes shellac and acrylic, but it is also suitable for removing Vinylux. In addition, it has moisturizing properties and a pleasant refreshing cucumber scent.

Nothing is perfect, therefore Vinylux varnishes, with all the many positive qualities some disadvantages can also be identified.

• To comply with the Vinylux varnish application technology, a top coat is required. Otherwise, the durability of the varnish decreases and the decorative coating loses its impeccable appearance faster. The varnish itself is relatively inexpensive, but its cost increases due to the additional purchase of the top CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat.

• In some cases, the natural nail plate is painted in the color of the varnish after the decorative coating has been removed. In addition, this problem is then difficult to eliminate. According to the manufacturer, this can only happen with nails that at the time of application were already in poor condition - they were thin and loose.Penetration between the scales of a healthy plate is impossible due to the large size of the pigment molecules.
• Brushes typical for CND are familiar and not convenient for all customers. Therefore, it is often noted that varnish is difficult to apply to nails. Especially for those who use the products for the first time.

Professional manicure with Vinylux for a short period of time requires preliminary preparation of all the necessary materials and tools. The standard set includes the use of a manicure set, files, buff, nail degreaser, Vinylux Color itself and a special top coat from CND. If additional design elements are used, they must also be prepared in advance. A high-quality professional manicure will not work without proper preparation of hands and nails.

According to nail service experts, the process of creating a flawless long-lasting manicure with Vinylux should consist of several steps.

• Standard hygienic manicure. Giving nails the desired shape and length.

• Preparation of nail plates for varnish application. With the help of a file, it is necessary to remove the upper fat layer from the nails. Baf further polishes the surface of each nail. The best adhesion of the plate with the varnish composition is ensured by processing with a special degreaser. Professionals recommend CND Scrubfresh, primer or bonder as the best options.

• The first layer of Vinylux. You need to apply varnish only with smooth movements from the base of the nails to the tips. The first application may result in streaks and streaks. This is the norm, since the first layer delaminates and part of it acts as a base, and part of it is a colored coating. It takes two minutes to dry.

• Second layer Vinylux. After re-staining and complete drying of the varnish in natural light, the coating acquires the desired color, shine, and a uniform and smooth surface.

• Top coverage. The use of the top ensures a longer wear of the varnish. In this case, it is imperative to "seal" the ends of all nails to prevent chips at the edges of the plate. After application, the surface must be completely dry, this will take about ten minutes.

The cuticles on the nails can be treated with a special fortified oil, and the skin of the hands with a cream. Manicure with Vinylux is ready.
