Canni gel polish is considered a worthy alternative to expensive brands. Despite the fact that it is produced in China, the goods are of high quality, confirmed by all the necessary certificates.
Canni does not contain hazardous components, it is allowed for importation into the European Union and offers consumers a truly attractive price-quality ratio. It is not surprising that such a coating is widely used not only for home manicure, but also in beauty salons.
Varieties and their characteristics
Canni Gel Polish is currently a positive product on the market. In essence, it is a combination of varnish and gel, which is applied as a simple varnish, but requires drying under a special lamp. Among its advantages are the easy application without bubbles, the "wave effect" and surface irregularities, the neutral smell due to the high-quality composition without harmful impurities, as well as ease of use.
The main disadvantage of gel polish is the impossibility of effective use on weak nails. If the plate is not different in health and has numerous grooves, then Canni will “stand” on the strength of three or four days. In general, if the manicure is done according to the instructions, then the coating should last more than fourteen days, up to a month. The reduction of this period is possible in cases of violation of the technology of application, the use of expired drugs, as well as regular aggressive impact, for example, dishwashing detergents. In this case, the peeling of varnish will begin within three days.
Gel polishes offered for sale have varying densities. Some shades are very thick, comfortably covering the nail plate and looking good even with one layer present. They dry out without any problems and do not form bubbles. However, some varnishes are too thin and require repeated application. Often in such a situation, stripes appear, and the coating is uneven. In addition, this varnish begins to spread, which complicates the drying process.
The palette of gel polish is very extensive, and judging by the reviews, consists of extremely attractive shades. Many Canni supply companies also offer kits that include a base, a top, and four colored gel polishes. However, there is always the opportunity to purchase a color you like separately, and choose a base and a fixing coating from another quality brand. By the way, to determine the number of the desired shade for its further acquisition, it is enough to look at the figure that is placed behind the bottle in the lower right corner.
Externally, the gel polish resembles Shellac varnishes, but with a larger brush made from natural materials. The volume of the bottle of conventional funds is 7.3 milliliters, and thermal - up to 15 milliliters.
It is important to mention that not only plain gel polishes are on sale, but also different effects, for example, metallic, pearl, with glitter and microblaze, as well as glitter.
However, it is believed that it is the plain coatings that manifest themselves better - they last longer and crack less. Stand out series Blossom Series, "Thermo", "Cat's Eye", Platinum Series and others.
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to gel polishes, the company also produces other tools necessary for carrying out a full-fledged manicure: base, top, primers and gel colors for design.The lamp needed to work with Canni should have a capacity of 36 watts. The LED device in this case can also be used for manicure. The shelf life of the funds used, as a rule, is twenty-four months.
Color palette
Currently, there are more than two hundred Canni gel lacquer colors available in Russia, so we can conclude that the existing set is able to satisfy even the most demanding customers. On the official website, all the tones of the palette are presented by numbers, which greatly simplifies the procedure for working with this brand. However, it is important to remember that for samples it is necessary to use two layers of lacquer, and in real life the shades may differ slightly.
The main palette contains both bright juicy and calm pastel shades. from nearly transparent to glitter-coated glitter. For example, a calm purple-gray hue 049 and a heavenly 251 are suitable for office manicure, and a “delicious” orange 091 will perfectly fit into the dress code of the festive event.
The noble dark green 134 is suitable for dark-haired stately beauties, and the gentle 055 of creme brulee color is for very young girls.
The Cat's Eye series consists of bright varnishes mixed with metallic particles.forming fantasy patterns under magnet action. All presented shades from beige to green look very unusual and spectacular, especially with the use of a black base. Thermal gel polishes are presented in thirty different shades. When the temperature changes, they themselves change color, for example, from dark red to black, from yellow to “sunset color” and from pink to noble gray. In the frost, darker shades usually appear, and as the degrees rise, they lighten. Some thermal paints create only a slight change of colors, but others are a combination of contrasts.
Application features
To create a high-quality and long-lasting nail polish, it is recommended to follow the instructions offered by the manufacturer step by step. First, the nail plate is properly prepared. It is necessary to remove the cuticle, go through the nail file to create a beautiful shape and polish the surface to remove the remnants of the glossy layer. If the surface began to look dull, then the nail is degreased with a dehydrator and dried. The next step is using a primer also Canni brand, which will contribute to a better contact of nail and varnish. When it dries, the base is applied to the plate with light rubbing movements from the end to the base of the plate.
This layer should have a minimum thickness to prevent further product peeling. There is no need to hurry, as the base dries out rather slowly. It is better to do everything as carefully as possible, without going to the cuticle and the side parts. Although the manufacturer itself recommends the base of the brand Canni, numerous reviews advise using a better product.
The base is dried under the lamp. If, during the application of the base, the lacquer is on the skin, then it is necessary to keep the surplus off before sealing. In the case of ultraviolet light, the drying time will be two minutes, and in the case of an LED lamp, only thirty seconds.
The selected gel polish is also applied in a thin layer in order to “seal” the end part of the surface. This layer is dried as much as the base. In the case when there is a desire to get a darker shade, the color can be applied twice, but with the same thin coatings. Finally, in the final step, the nail is covered with a top coating, which dries for three minutes in the case of ultraviolet and fifty seconds in the case of an LED device. In the case of a sticky layer, it is removed with a special alcohol-containing liquid, and the cuticle is oiled.
Feedback from consumers and craftsmen
In general, Canni gel polish has extremely positive reviews from both professionals and amateurs. It is believed that he can even replace the popular Shellak, while possessing a much lower price.However, there is still a recommendation to pre-examine reviews on the Internet regarding different colors of the palette. Surprisingly, shades can behave differently: some lie flat and smooth, while others can spread and form strips. Usually this "sin" watery colors, which also have to be applied in three layers. Many users also note that on different nails Canni behaves differently.
According to consumers, Canni can be removed very easily using ordinary nail polish remover. No cutting with a file is necessary; it is enough to saturate the cotton wool with liquid, attach it to the nail plate and “wrap it up” in foil for a quarter of an hour. After a specified time, the coating will peel off, and it will only remain to be removed with a wooden stick. All reviews mention a rich palette of gel polishes and their low price for a rather large volume of the bottle. At the same time, few people advise to choose the top and the base of the same company, rather, most agree that they should be purchased from more expensive firms.
Some users note that Canni lacquers are worthy competitors to their more expensive relatives, despite being made in China. They have a good texture that provides an easy process for applying manicure. On average, the coating lasts about three weeks, which is quite a high figure. If during the period of "socks" is actively engaged in the household and exposed to household appliances, then the period is reduced to fourteen days. The availability of gel polish determines the fact that many consumers have an impressive collection of Canni.
Masters, by the way, mention that gel varnishes work best with the basis of the Kodi brand, which is rubber. It meshes well with Canni and extends its life. However, if there is still a desire to work with the “native” base, then it should be applied with a very thin layer, “rubbing” movements and by drawing a lacquer square with a special brush. The top coating of the Canni brand is also not particularly popular with specialists, as it often peels off and splits off. It can be applied only in a very thin layer.
