Basic information
Monami gel polish, produced in Russia, is created from safe material brought from Hong Kong and has highly pigmented properties. Covers the nail plate tightly in one or two layers. A specially designed brush of a certain elasticity and softness allows you to distribute the varnish close to the cuticle, forms a perfect hole and hides all the irregularities of the nail plate. Monami gel polish does not have a distinct scent. Its color palette was developed by experts of the world-renowned Pantone Institute. It includes all the current shades of the current season. The coating stays on nails for a long time (at least 2 weeks).
Monami gel varnishes are on sale in 12 ml black bottles. Glass feels like rubber to the touch. Thanks to this effect, the jars are comfortable to hold in your hands, they do not slip. The density of the coating depends on the shade.
Basically, all colors are not liquid, like water, but also not too dense. This allows you to cover the nail plate evenly and without smudges. Colored gel polishes do not need to be used with native basecoats and topcoats. They get along well with other brands of products.

Reviews for the company's products
It was previously mentioned that Monami gel polishes have become very popular among girls who do their own manicure at home. Therefore, reviews from ordinary buyers are overwhelmingly positive. The girls like the ratio of low price and pretty good quality. Lux and Luxury series varnishes are the undisputed leaders among all the company's gel varnishes. The reviews indicate that the effect obtained exceeds all expectations. Classic gel polishes also meet all the requirements of a home manicure. A large palette of colors allows you to satisfy any taste.
Professional masters leave critical reviews about Monami products, believing that in comparison with manicure products from other companies, these varnishes are more capricious in application, they do not always give the necessary density and color, which the manufacturers write about. And also in the assortment there are dark colored varnishes that fade in the sun, which does not allow them to be used in manicure for relaxing at sea or in the summer. Masters do not recommend this brand for professional manicure, but advise to give preference to proven global brands.
