Frequently Asked Questions About Nail Polishes, Removers, Formulas
When it comes to nail polishes, there are several myths making around among nail polish and nail art lovers. It can be regarding the quality of the polishes, their application, removal, and several other things. I was reading a post by Fiabila and came to find out more about these myths and facts about nail polishes, removers, and formulas that are currently confusing us all. So I thought about sharing it with you all as well. Some of them are also related to the way we use polishes in our day to day lifestyle and some mistakes that we make while using them.
1. LIKE HAIR, NAILS ARE SENSITIVE TO EXTERNAL AGGRESSIONS
There are mild removers without acetone, that do not contain aggressive solvents, largely of natural origin or infused with vegetable oils that gently remove make-up from your nails and that also have additional care attributes.
4. TO PREPARE THE NAIL BEFORE APPLYING NAIL POLISH, HYDRATE IT WITH A CREAM
IT IS A MYTH!
To ensure the best protection of the nail in the event of frequent application of nail polish, a base coat can be applied.
However, the pigments contained in the red shades will be more likely to yellow your nails than those contained in a nude one.
5. THERE ARE NAIL POLISHES SPECIALLY FORMULATED FOR CHILDREN
IT IS A FACT!
These are water-based nail polishes guaranteeing maximum respect for your children's nails, ultra-bright colors, and smooth application. And to remove them, simply wash hands in lukewarm water.
6. SEMI-PERMANENT NAIL POLISH CAN BE REMOVED AT HOME
IT IS A MYTH!
Removing a semi-permanent nail polish perfectly requires multiple operations and a solvent with acetone. It stays in contact with the nail and the skin, inside the wraps that surround each finger, for at least 20 minutes.
The nails are dried out, weakened, and sensitized.
7. THE USE OF A BASE COAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO IMPROVE THE WEAR OF A NAIL POLISH
The topcoat, or overcoat, can be applied directly after the nail polish once dry, or in ‘touch-up’ during the week that follows.
It dissolves slightly its surface, repairs small snags, and reforms an ultra-smooth protective film bringing additional gloss and wear.
