Characteristics and features of applying Canni gel polish
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 ingredients, is approved for import into the European Union and offers consumers a truly attractive price-performance 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 well-established product on the market. In fact, this is a combination of varnish and gel, which is applied like a simple varnish, but requires drying under a special lamp. Among its advantages are called easy application without the appearance of bubbles, "ripple effect" and surface irregularities, a neutral odor 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 does not differ in health and has numerous grooves, then Canni "will withstand" at least 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. A decrease in this period is possible in cases of violation of the application technology, the use of products with an expired shelf life, as well as regular aggressive exposure, for example, dishwashing detergents. In this case, the varnish will begin to peel off within three days.
The gel varnishes presented on sale have different densities.Some shades are very thick, cover the nail plate comfortably and look good even with one layer present. They dry without problems and do not form bubbles. However, some varnishes are too thin and need to be reapplied. Often in such a situation, stripes appear, and the coverage 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, it consists of extremely attractive shades. Many companies supplying Canni also offer kits, which include a base, a top and four color gel polishes. However, there is always the opportunity to purchase the color you like separately, and choose the base and fixing coating from another high-quality brand. By the way, in order to determine the number of the shade you like for its further acquisition, it is enough to look at the number that is located on the back of the bottle in the lower right corner.
Externally, the gel polish resembles Shellac varnishes, but with a larger brush made of natural materials. The volume of a bottle of a conventional product is 7.3 milliliters, and a thermal one reaches 15 milliliters.
It is important to mention that not only monochromatic gel polishes are on sale, but also those with various effects, for example, metallic, pearlescent, with sparkles and micro-sparkles, as well as glitter.
However, it is believed that it is precisely monochromatic coatings that show themselves better - they last longer and crack less. Blossom Series, Thermo, Cat's Eye, Platinum Series and others stand out.
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to gel polishes, the company also produces other products necessary for a full-fledged manicure: basic, top-end, primers and gel paints for design. The lamp needed to work with Canni must have a power of 36 watts. In this case, the LED device can also be used for manicure. The shelf life of the funds used is usually twenty-four months.
Color palette
Currently, more than two hundred colors of Canni gel polish are available in Russia, so we can conclude that the existing set is able to satisfy even the most demanding clients. On the official website, all the tones of the palette are presented by numbers, which greatly simplifies the procedure for working with this brand. True, it is important to remember that two layers of varnish are necessarily used for samples, but in real life the shades may differ slightly.
The main palette contains both bright juicy and calm pastel shades from almost transparent to covered with shimmery glitter. For example, calm purple-gray shades 049 and heavenly 251 are suitable for office manicure, and “delicious” orange 091 will perfectly fit into the dress code of a festive event.
Noble dark green 134 is suitable for dark-haired stately beauties, and gentle 055 crème brulee color is suitable for very young girls.
The "Cat's Eye" series consists of bright varnishes with an admixture of metal particlesforming fantasy patterns under the influence of a magnet. All presented shades from beige to green look very unusual and effective, especially with the use of a black base. Thermal gel polishes are available 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 frost, darker shades usually appear, and with increasing degrees they brighten. Some thermal varnishes create only minor color changes, while others are a combination of contrasts.
Application features
To create a high-quality and long-lasting nail polish, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions step by step. First, the nail plates are properly prepared.It is necessary to remove the cuticle, go with a nail file to create a beautiful shape and sand the surface to remove the remains of the glossy layer. If the surface looks matte, then the nail is degreased with a dehydrator and dried. The next step is to use a primer also from Canni, which will promote better contact between the nail and the 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 flaking of the product. There is no need to rush, as the base dries rather slowly. It is better to do everything as carefully as possible, without going into the cuticles and side parts. Although the manufacturer himself recommends the Canni brand base, numerous reviews advise using a better quality product.
The base is dried under a lamp. If, during the application of the base, the varnish turned out to be on the skin, then you need to have time to remove the excess even 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 to "seal" the end portion of the surface. This layer is dried as much as the base. In the event that there is a desire to obtain 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 coat, which dries for three minutes in the case of ultraviolet radiation and fifty seconds in the case of an LED device. In the event of a sticky layer, it is removed with a special alcohol-containing liquid, and the cuticle is lubricated with oil.
Reviews of consumers and craftsmen
In general, Canni gel polish has extremely positive reviews from both professionals and amateurs. It is believed that it could even replace the popular Shellak at a much lower cost. However, there is still a recommendation to first study reviews on the Internet regarding different colors of the palette. Surprisingly, shades can behave in different ways: some lay down evenly and smoothly, while others spread and form stripes. Usually this "sin" watery colors, which also have to be applied in three layers. Many users also note that Canni behaves differently on different nails.
According to consumers, Canni is extremely easy to remove using regular nail polish remover. No cutting with a file is necessary, it is enough to soak the cotton wool with liquid, apply it to the nail plate and "wrap" it in foil for a quarter of an hour. After the specified time, the coating will peel off, and it only remains to be removed with a wooden stick. All reviews mention a rich palette of gel polishes and their low price for a fairly large bottle volume. At the same time, few people advise choosing the top and base of the same company; rather, the majority agree that they should be purchased from more expensive firms.
Some users note that Canni varnishes are worthy competitors of their more expensive relatives, despite the fact that they are made in China. They have a good texture for an easy manicure process. On average, the coverage lasts about three weeks, which is a fairly high figure. If, during the period of "wearing", you are actively engaged in household chores and exposed to household products, then the period is reduced to fourteen days. The availability of gel polish is determined by the fact that many consumers have an impressive collection of Canni.
Masters, by the way, mention that gel polishes work best with the base of the Kodi brand, which is rubber. It adheres well to Canni and extends its life. However, if there is still a desire to work with the "native" base, then it must be applied with a very thin layer, with "rubbing" movements and by drawing a lacquer square with a special brush.The top coating of the Canni brand is also not very popular with specialists, as it often peels off and breaks off. It can only be applied in a very thin layer.
