The new CND product is able to stay on nails for a long time, and its affordable price makes it affordable for use in a beauty salon as well as at home. Vinylux decorative coating dries in natural conditions without special lamps. The unique composition is completely safe and preserves the brightness of the color throughout the entire time of wearing a manicure.

At the moment, the Vinylux color palette consists of more than 130 shades. All of them are the result of the work of CND manufacturer with leading world fashion designers. For more than ten years, the company's masters have been participating in all kinds of fashion shows and prestigious fashion shows in the USA, Italy and Australia. Therefore, the color solutions of Vinylux varnishes 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, the imagination of masters and customers is not limited by anything.

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

Among all the shades of Vinylux, there was a place for cool fashionable “office” shades, and for noticeable dark monophonic 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.

Working on the creation of Vinylux, CND calculated all the details of the formula to ensure a high-quality, durable coating and perfect manicure. The positive properties of Vinylux brand varnishes include the following characteristics.

• In case of correct application, the varnish is held on the nails without any damage and scuffs up to 7 days. Throughout the entire period of wearing, the coating does not lose its original color and luster. Moreover, thanks to ProLight technology, light durability is only gradually increasing. This occurs under the action of photoinitiators, which are part of the Vinylux formula. Thanks to them, the decorative coating does not turn yellow over time.

• To create a manicure with Vinylux, you do not need to use a base for varnish - the formula of the composition is two-component, so the first layer performs the function of both a base and a decorative color coating.
• The absence of formaldehydes and resins, dibutyl ether and methylbenzene makes Vinylux completely safe for nails.

• The varnish is easily applied and lays on the nail plate with an even thin layer. In this case, the nails look natural.
• The widest color palette with a variety of textures and effects is constantly updated and updated with new relevant solutions in the season. The selected shade is fully consistent with the color of the coating on the nail plate.

Vinylux Varnishes can be used alone at home. This does not require any special skills or special devices. The coating dries in vivo.

• The surface dries completely in ten minutes. This property is important for those who have experienced slow drying 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 form on the surface. With thin and quick-drying Vinylux, such problems do not arise.

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

• To remove the coating, a standard tool is used. The only important thing is that it should contain acetone in the composition. But CND's product is also available to customers. Shellac and acrylic are removed with this tool, but it is also suitable for removing Vinylux. In addition, it has moisturizing properties and a pleasant refreshing cucumber aroma.

Nothing perfect exists, that's why Vinylux varnishes with all the many positive qualities there are some disadvantages.

• To comply with Vinylux lacquer technology, a topcoat is required. Otherwise, the durability of the varnish decreases and the decorative coating quickly loses its flawless appearance. 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, a natural nail plate is painted in the color of varnish after removing the decorative coating. Moreover, this problem is then difficult to eliminate. According to the manufacturer, this can happen only with nails, which at the time of application were already in poor condition - were thin and loose.Penetration between the scales of a healthy plate is impossible due to the large size of the pigment molecules.
• CND-specific brushes 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 products for the first time.

Professional manicure with Vinylux for a short period of time requires preliminary preparation of all necessary materials and tools. The standard set implies the use of a manicure set, files, buff, a degreaser for nails, Vinylux Color varnish itself and a special topcoat from CND. In the case of using additional design elements, they also need to be prepared in advance. High-quality professional manicure will not work without proper preparation of hands and nails.

According to the nail service masters, the process of creating an impeccable lasting manicure with Vinylux should consist of several steps.

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

• Preparation of nail plates for applying varnish. With the help of a file, it is necessary to remove the upper fat layer from the marigolds. Buff buffing further grinding of the surface of each nail. The best adhesion of the plate with the composition of the varnish is provided by processing with a special degreaser. Professionals recommend CND Scrubfresh, a primer or a bonder as optimal options.

• The first layer is Vinylux. Apply the varnish only with smooth movements from the base of the nails to the tips. The result of the first application may be a surface with stains and stripes. This is the norm, since the first layer is stratified and part of it serves as the base, and part of the color coating. It takes two minutes to dry.

• The second layer is Vinylux. After repeated staining and complete drying of the varnish in natural light, the coating acquires the desired color, luster, uniform and smooth surface.

• Top coating. The use of the top provides longer wearing varnish. In this case, it is necessary to “seal” the ends of all nails to prevent chips on the edges of the plate. After application, the surface must be completely dried, it will take about ten minutes.

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