Uno gel polish: features and variety of shades

The Hong Kong brand Uno recently entered the market of professional materials for long-lasting manicure, but has already gained popularity among professionals and amateurs. Chinese manufacturers are obliged to the development of the composition by European specialists. Perhaps that is why the brand has evoked consumer confidence and justified it.

Uno gel polish can be applied even to thinned nail plates, while the coating does not harm the nails and produces a healing effect. Uno has a fairly dense texture, so a single applied layer is enough to get a perfectly even, smooth, almost mirror finish. The main thing is to perform all the manipulations correctly, then there will be no problems in the form of bumps or lumps with this material.

Information about the brand is also not very widespread, therefore, in most cases, you can see Uno gel polish in the salon of professional masters who deeply study new products and constantly test brands.

However, this brand has a lot of advantages. - it is great for those who are just taking their first steps in nail art or are doing it for themselves, because it is easy to use. Compared to many other coatings, Uno adheres extremely smoothly and produces an impressive high-gloss sheen. Due to its density and quality, the coating is very resistant and durable - in this segment it easily competes with many expensive brands. The stated wearing time is from 2 to 4 weeks.

The basecoat does not flake off, even on thin wafers, no primer is required. In addition, Uno can be perfectly combined with many other brands, such as the popular and widespread "Kodi". Another obvious plus is the absence of a harsh, unpleasant odor, so working with this gel polish is really comfortable.

Another hit of the season - the “cat's eye” effect - is widely represented in the palette of the Uno brand. This nail art is simultaneously reminiscent of the iridescence of a gem and the variability of a cat's pupils. It is distinguished by a magnetic coating that does not change its shine and shimmer even after several weeks. Neon, pastel, classic - all the most fashionable and elegant options can be found in the lines of thermo-lacquers and coatings with a "cat's eye" effect.

Of course, if you regularly visit a beauty salon, you can find out the whole technology of applying a resistant coating. A flawless manicure can be created at home, which will save money and time.

First of all, it is necessary to purchase, in addition to pigment coatings, a base and a finish. The manufacturer has a base and a top in the line, which are ideally combined with Uno gel polishes. In addition, you will need a special lamp for drying: LED- or UV-, as well as a nail file, buff and liquid for degreasing and removing stickiness.

At the beginning of the process, you need to clean your hands, remove the previous coating, degrease the plate. Then you need to apply the base Uno - Rubber Base, a rubber base coat that protects the plate from aggressive colored coating, will provide perfect adhesion to the nail surface. The base brush is stiff and has a short nap - this should be taken into account during the first procedure. Masters do not recommend pressing the brush hard against the surface of the nail - this can prevent the appearance of furrowing stripes. Density of consistency ensures uniform application and excludes base dripping.

We dry the base in a UV lamp for one minute, in the Led version - half a minute. Then we proceed to the coating of the colored type, which also differs in density, therefore it is enough to apply one even layer. After that, it must be dried and, if necessary, apply a second layer of pigment varnish. After the drying process, it is recommended to apply a transparent top, dry it and remove the sticky layer with a special UNO Gel cleanser.

According to reviews, Uno gel varnishes meet almost all the stated requirements: they are resistant, withstand the required wear time, and do not flake off. Cracks and chips do not form on them without serious mechanical stress. There is practically no unpleasant odor, only a mask should be used when applying the base coat.

The richest palette of shades allows you to choose any tone that is necessary in a particular nail art. Professionals have the opportunity to order products on the official website, bypassing intermediaries. It should be added that the line is practically not mastered by amateurs.
