küünelakk

Küünelakk is a varnish applied to human fingernails or toenails to decorate and protect the nail plate. It is a cosmetic product that comes in a wide variety of colors and finishes. The primary ingredients typically include film-forming agents, plasticizers, solvents, colorants, and suspending agents. When applied, the solvents evaporate, leaving behind a solid, colored film on the nail.

The history of nail coloring dates back thousands of years, with ancient civilizations using various natural substances to adorn their nails. Modern nail polish as we know it began to develop in the early 20th century, evolving from automotive paint technology. Today, küünelakk is a popular beauty product used by people of all ages and genders.

Küünelakk is applied using a small brush attached to the cap of the bottle. A base coat is often applied first to smooth the nail surface and prevent staining, followed by one or more layers of colored polish. A top coat is then usually applied to add shine, durability, and chip resistance. The drying time can vary depending on the type of polish and the thickness of the application. Removal is typically done with nail polish remover, a solvent-based liquid. While generally safe for cosmetic use, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to certain ingredients.
