CHEAP AND GOOD Semi-Permanent Enamels

 CHEAP AND GOOD Semi-Permanent Enamels

Semi-permanent enamels are found in different prices and brands. Gelish being the best known and most popular brand in gel polishes.
To the extent that our clients ask us for an application of Gelish, instead of an application of gel polish.

And it is when we take on the task of looking for different brands that adapt to the prices we have in our beauty salon, and the competition.

That is why I want to share with you, some semi-permanent enamels that although they are not from the Gelish brand, they have surprised me by the quality and above all the price.

To be honest, I bought them with a bit of suspicion, I was testing them, they passed the test and I stuck with those brands.

Later, when working with these gel polishes, I was able to add more variety of products to my services.

Economic Semi-permanent Enamels
Enamels JR, this brand is perhaps the one with the most variety in shades. I used it together with your base coat and top coat and they were very good.


JR gel polishes
Charm Limit, I really liked them for the color coverage, with 2 applications the tone was already very defined.
The presentation I purchased was 15 ml, and it exceeded my expectations.
They lasted more than a month on my nails and I had a touch-up when the growth of the nail was already beginning to be noticed.


Charm Limit gel polishes
Republic Nail, they look beautiful in my nail polish, van you are going to love them.
Their presentation of Swarovski crystals on the lid makes them look very beautiful.

Speaking of quality, in my opinion they don't ask for anything from the Gelish brand.
They are 1-step gel polishes, although I prefer to apply them as if they were 3-step, it is up to you.

At present they are the ones I use in my "gelish applications", and with the brand that for the moment I have stayed.


Republic Nail
These are the semi-permanent enamels that seem to me to be of good quality, and that can be given a trial chance.

It must be remembered that recognized brands such as Organic, Nail Factory, Fantasy Nails etc, etc, also have their own line of semi-permanent gel polishes.

If you have tried a brand that you liked, I would appreciate it if you share it in the comments, to try it.

Returning to the subject of brushes for nail applications.
This time I am going to answer the most frequently asked questions on Instagram and YouTube.

What brand of nail brushes do I recommend?

The question I see the most in my networks is about the brand of nail brush that I like or recommend.
I will tell you that when I buy my brushes, I look first at the quality and then at the brand and price.

• The brushes that I currently keep are from the Pana brand (this brush is my favorite), one from Organic and the other from a generic brand.
• I like to use brushes that have a wooden handle, for example the Pana brush, I feel that I grip it with greater precision.
• I remember that at one time I had a Mia Secret brush, it lasted for a long time, until I lost it.

What number of brush is used to make acrylic nails?

All acrylic nail brushes have different numbers, this number indicates the thickness of the acrylic pearl that is going to be formed.

For this reason, if you are a beginner, it is recommended to start with a # 6 nail brush. With this number of brush you will take pearls of a medium size, and it will be easier to mold the acrylic.

As you gain practice in handling acrylic, you can work with brushes with higher numbers.


What is the price of brushes to make acrylic nails?

• The price varies, depending on the brand and quality of each brush.
• There are Kolinsky quality brushes and others with synthetic bristles, from there the cost of each brush changes.
• Here in Mexico the price ranges from $ 300 pesos to $ 1000 pesos onwards.

How to distinguish a Kolinsky quality brush from one that is not?

• Although the price of the brush is already indicative, this is not always the case.
• Before investing in a good brush, research its quality with the supplier, this point will be key to making a good purchase.
• You can also buy it directly in stores and official pages of the distributor or company.

Finally, I invite you to read the following article to have more extensive information on the subject.
