Sticky layer of semi-permanent nail polish: what is it for?
This thin layer, sometimes called an inhibition layer, allows the different layers of product to adhere to one another.

However, once the structure is complete, this sticky layer of semi-permanent nail polish must be removed before filing and shaping.
The final step is to remove the sticky layer of semi-permanent nail polish after applying the top coat. To do this, use a cotton pad soaked in cleaner to reveal a shiny, perfectly smooth finish.
