La semi-permanent manicure It is a perfect option to be able to wear impeccable nails for much longer than we think. That is why we sometimes resort to it, not only in specialized centers, but we also dare to take the step from home.

What do semi-permanent enamels contain
The problem always comes due to glaze ingredients. In this case, they are said to contain a substance that can cause allergic reactions. But on the other hand, there is also talk of toxic compounds like hydroquinone. These compounds make the enamel stay longer on our nails but it is true that being somewhat toxic, they could lead to bigger problems.
