Pros and Cons of One-Coat Nail Lacquers

Pros and Cons of One-Coat Nail Lacquers

Why wouldn’t everyone want full coverage in just one application? 

There are a variety of reasons someone would choose one-coat coverage over other formula types and vice versa.  Usually the motivation to choose one-coats are to save time, but there are pros and cons to all formulas!  We’re breaking down these pros and cons of One-Coat colors to help you decide what’s right for you!!

 

Pros

            After applying one-coat, you're done and free to kick back and relax.  Drying time could be a little longer, but since you’ve cut the application time in half, you can put your feet up and give your body and mind a rest!

            Full coverage color means you know the look you’re getting, no visible smile lines and easy removal of just one layer of polish!

            Perfect nail art palette.  Nail art can be time consuming.  When you can minimize the effort to create our palette base you can focus more on the fun! 

 

Cons

            Thicker formulas can sometimes make your lacquer more susceptible to chipping. 

            Although not always the case, depending on the manufacturer and color, one-coat coverage can take longer to dry than less viscous formulas.  

            Practice makes perfect with one coat formulas.  Because the consistency is different than your standard formulas you may need to work with the polish to find the best application method (angle, amount of polish on the brush, etc) to get your perfect application.
