The history of the creation of a cosmetic company
The true story of the French girl Vivien Szabo became the inspiration for the creation of a cosmetics company. The Frenchwoman was a chemist and dreamed of creating a production of cosmetics with her lover. She wrote down all her experiments in a diary. But the dreams were not destined to come true due to the outbreak of the Second World War. Her beloved died, and she disappeared without a trace. Her diaries remained, which formed the basis of many technologies for the production of cosmetics, and the name of the girl appeared in the name of the company.
Nail studio

Any fashionista will choose from the variety of the presented palette the desired texture and color for any occasion: office work, everyday life, business meeting, party, dinner party, relaxation.

Application
The application of gel polish is simple, due to the presence of a convenient brush. It is long, wide, flattened, rounded to the edge. In some product lines, the brush is cut obliquely, which makes painting easier. The cap is easy to hold in your hand. Beautiful design.
The consistency of the product is moderately liquid, it is evenly distributed over the nail. Covers the nail plate easily, precisely, with one touch. If a second layer is required, you must wait 50-60 seconds, necessary for the first to dry.
Transparent types of varnishes require several coats because they are very translucent. Matte bright options in the first layer leave streaks and edges. Therefore, one more cover is simply necessary.
For inexperienced women, applying multiple coats can be difficult. But if the layers are thin, then the varnish will dry in a matter of seconds and therefore the next strokes under the brush will not roll down, will not smudge.
The manufacturer offers Vivienne Sabo Nail Atelier top coat to fix, preserve color and shine. It is applied to any colored varnish. It guarantees a flat, smooth surface. Protects against cracking and chips, prolongs the durability of the manicure.
It can be removed with a regular nail polish remover. Cotton wool soaked in liquid is applied to each nail for 30 seconds. The substance dissolves gel polish quickly, leaving no traces of pigmentation of dyes.
After that, it is recommended to wash your hands and make a mask of oil or fat cream.
After use, gel polish does not change color, the condition of the nail plate, does not cause flaking, dryness, pigmentation. In women with thin, flaky nails, it protects against possible damage or brittleness.
In case of frequent contact of hands with water after a manicure, it is recommended to use household gloves to prolong the effect of the varnish.

Women note that their hands look well-groomed for up to 1 week, there are no cracking and chips, unlike conventional varnishes, when the varnish disappears on the third day.
A great positive about this product is its quick drying in the open air, especially if the varnish is applied in one coat. When using this nail polish, you do not need to use a special lamp, as in the salon when drying the gel.
Bright color palette, fashionable design of the bottle and packaging are an additional positive quality of this cosmetic product.

Of the minuses of this product, the drying time is noted. It takes more than 40 seconds between applying the next coat. If the product does not dry out, the next coating will be lubricated. Have to re-cover.
