We all love having pretty nails but it has been a challenge for me to keep them long and well, chip free. I absolutely hate (and I am sure a lot of you will agree with me) when after only a few days my regular nail polish starts chipping away and I have to re-do it. Part of the problem is the fact that I have pretty weak nails and whenever I want to grow them longer, I just end up getting them done at the salon. Now that I am about to have a baby I know I won't have time for regular appointments so I start looking into a more permanent and long lasting solution, without the need to visit my local nail place.
What is Semilac UV Hybrid Nail Polish?
Semilac is a hybrid gel polish system that combines gel UV and nail polish properties and the brand has been hugely successful in Europe, especially in my country of origin Poland where it was first founded.
When I found out that I can get their products in the USA through Semilac sole representative SemilacUSA I was absolutely ecstatic.

Made in Europe & Cruelty-Free
First of all, all Semilac products are made with European standards using only with high-quality color pigments. They do not leave streaks, don't flake or tarnish and are 100% removable with acetone. All products are made in EU and the brand doesn't test on animals. You do need a UV or LED lamp to cure the nail polish but besides that, they are very easy to use at home, which is the reason why they are so highly popular.

DIY Salon Nails At Home with Semilac Soak Off UV Hybrid Nail Polish
Technically to do your nails using Semilac products all you really need is a Semilac base, nail polish, top coat and cleaner but here I am also prepping my nails with their Semilac Non-Acid Primer which is suppose to increase the adhesion of layers applied on the nail. For this tutorial I am using Melody Susie 12W LED Nail Dryer. You can either use UV or LED lamp and if you have any questions about the curing time make sure to check SemilacUSA FAQ page. But let's jump to the tutorial.
Step 1. Manicure your nails first and then buff them using nail buffer. Remove the dust with an alcohol soaked lint free wipe (I used rubbing alcohol).
Step 2. Apply a thin coat of Semilac Non-Acid Primer and let it air dry for few seconds. After that apply one thin layer of Semilac Base and cure it inside the UV/LED lamp for a certain amount of time. I did my base for around 60 seconds using 12W LED lamp (check Semilac FAQ page for more information). After that clean your nails using lint free wipe and a cleaner (I used rubbing alcohol).
Step 3. Apply a thin layer of Semilac UV Hybrid nail polish color of your choice and cure it for around 90 seconds (my 12W LED lamp). Clean the nails with an alcohol soaked lint free wipe and repeat the process with the second layer of color and cleaner. You can always add a third layer of color in case if it's not intense enough but with Semilac 130 Sleeping Beauty color I only used two coats.
Step 4. After that apply one thin layer of Semilac Top Coat and cure it for around 60 seconds. Clean the nails with rubbing alcohol.
Step 5. Finish your nails by applying Semilac Manicure Oil to your cuticles and you are done!
