Gel Polish Uno
Uno gel polish has done what almost no one has yet been able to do - barely appeared on the market of cosmetic products, he lured even the most picky masters to his side. The brand constantly pleases with novelties and experiments, for which it often receives well-deserved praise from nail service masters and their positive feedback.
The rubber base of the gel polish serves as the basis for leveling the nail if there is any damage on it. It also makes it possible to perform the “Push-Up” effect, for example, with flat nails - the master will be able to make them more beautiful by giving the nail plates a convex shape. This effect causes the appearance of ideal highlights on the nails.
Start
And the development of this unique product began in 2013 in Hong Kong, where Chinese experts decided to develop a modern and extremely durable nail coating composition that would surpass American and European cosmetic gel polishes in quality.
Not only Chinese professionals, but also European ones took part in the creation of the product, and it included pigments provided from countries such as England, Italy and Germany. It turned out to be a very fruitful collaboration, which resulted in the creation of a unique high quality product.
In just a few months, thanks to high technology and high-quality materials, the specialists managed to bring the formula of this novelty to perfection through joint efforts.
This product came to Russian consumers in 2015 after it passed a long test of expert technologists who came to the conclusion that Uno gel polish is a really special composition that provides long-term wear to the coating. The only official representative of this product in our country is the company "Entourage”, thanks to which the novelty has become very popular with us and in demand by manicure masters and their clients.
In the video - an overview of Uno gel polishes.
Advantages
The manufacturer declares the possibility of using the product even if the nail plate is too soft or unhealthy. This is explained by the absence of substances that can harm the nail, on the contrary, it will have a healing effect.
Uno gel polish is a long-term coating, despite the fact that its cost is quite affordable. It can be compared with biogel, therefore cracks and chips are excluded within a crescent or even a month. In addition, the plasticity of the material reliably protects the nails, no matter how thin and soft they are. The nail plate will actively grow and not exfoliate when the material is removed.
High-quality Italian and German high-density pigments in the composition of the product make it possible to achieve a uniform coating from the very first application - and this, above all, saves material, and therefore the service will not be expensive. It is a varnish that is easy to apply and does not leave any streaks and bumps.
The base of the product guarantees a coating without peeling off, and thanks to the top gel, the gloss does not fade until the coating is removed from the nail plate. Proper preparation of the nail and removal of the sticky layer is ensured by a high-quality Uno degreaser. And with the help of a special gel polish remover "Remover" Uno, the coating will be easily dissolved, so that neither files nor special grinders are needed, and the nails will remain safe and sound. It will take about 7 minutes - no more.
When comparing Uno gel polishes with its counterparts in the same price category, it should be noted that these products can be used by both professionals and beginners - it is so easy to apply. And not every manufacturer can boast of such a characteristic of their products.
Take at least "Bluesky Shellac" - yes, a manicure can turn out just great, but here without amateur performances - only in professional hands, and experienced ones. Otherwise, once faced with the technology of applying this coating, a person may forever abandon such independent experiments with manicure.
Uno also competes with the Kodi line. These products have approximately the same price category, this company also pays great attention to the quality of its products and the diversity of its palette. It should be noted that the Uno coating fits perfectly on the base of the Kodi product.
Uno products, unlike many similar ones, do not have a sharp and unpleasant odor. And, when we talk about how durable and how long Uno products are worn, then you can only compare them with analogues from other manufacturers, but their cost is much more expensive than the described gel polishes.
Any Uno coating will remain on the nail plate for a long time and will not fade until it is removed. By the way, it is removed easily and the substrate is not needed.
About the disadvantages
Unfortunately, Uno products are not as affordable as their counterparts. Everything is complicated here so far - there is an opportunity to meet these products at an exhibition dedicated to the beauty industry. Not in every specialized store, but in some you can still buy this wonderful product. Another option is to shop online.
This product has an official website, but there is no delivery to any corner of Russia - it is limited. As a rule, Uno products can be found in a nail salon - from masters who know both about all the novelties in their professional activities, and about which one they would like to buy without fail.
Fashion shades
The Uno palette includes over 150 rich, sought-after colors and a large selection of over 20 thermal colors. Collections of this product are presented in different forms:
- pastel;
- enamel;
- french;
- neon;
- nude;
- with sequins (both micro and large in size).
There are options in which the impression of a 3D flicker is created on the nail plate. Shades can be organically mixed with one another, as well as applied in the form of a beautiful color stretch.
Each shade of the palette goes under its own number and has its own name, which determines its color.
Here are some examples:
- № 030 - it has a nice name "Flamingo" and in appearance the composition has a soft pink hue, the beauty of which is complemented by small sparkles.
- No. 103 "Butterfly" - it is distinguished by an unusually beautiful spring shade of blooming lilac and is beautiful even without additional sparkles.
- But who loves glitter and gold, he, too, will not leave with anything - there is a shade that you cannot resist - this № 110. Its name speaks for itself: "Gold Dust".
If you opted for a soft tone coating, it is better to apply it in a couple of layers, then the color will turn out to be more saturated.
You can select Uno gel polish both by color and by the desired effect that the coating has - someone likes a pearlescent shade, and someone is closer to style metallic.
For fans of this line of gel polishes, another novelty has appeared - "Cat's Eye". Marigolds are obtained from such a coating similar to precious stones. At the same time, admirers of the products of this company received a line of oils for high-quality cuticle removal.
Thermo varnish
As the name of this product implies, the surface of the nail plate coated with such a composition will have a different color depending on the temperature it is in. If, for example, you entered the room from a frost, then the color of the coating on your nails will immediately begin to change, so you will be provided with such variety in the cold season.
Almost every manufacturer today has thermal varnishes in their collection, they are now in the Uno line. To date, there are 24 options, and applying them is as easy as regular varnish. Thanks to the same magical texture, it is enough to apply the thermal product on the nail plate just once, as the coating spreads over its surface and leaves no traces of application or any irregularities.
Interestingly, you can notice the change in the color of the thermal coating not only in the cold or in the heat, but also when you want to drink a cup of hot coffee or, for example, defrost the freezer.So you will encounter the effect of thermo gel polish not only in winter, but every day.
The Uno company never ceases to supplement its color palette with new interesting developments, and the question is not just to expand the range, but to achieve deeper and more saturated shades of color.
Packing and packaging
Packing in 5 ml bottles is what you need, and not only for ordinary consumers, but for professionals too. This is very convenient, because larger bottles, as a rule, dry up even before they have time to use their contents.
This is especially true, of course, home use. The product has its own expiration date, and it turns out that the contents first begin to change their shade, thicken, and then completely lose all their qualities.
And masters are much more comfortable with small packaging - this way they will be able to please their clients with new trendy shades from the manufacturer much more often, and not “eat up” old purchases.
Uno "By Gelish Mini" is a product that is ideal for using gel polish on its own. The walls of the black glass bottle protect the contents from exposure to sunlight, it can be stored at room temperature, it does not take up much space and will be easily lost in your cosmetic bag. Such a bottle - even on a business trip, even on vacation, so if necessary, it will not be difficult for you to refresh the coating for you.
And the application technology of the Uno "By Gelish Mini" product is as easy as shelling pears:
- Standard preparation of the nail plate: take a pusher or a special stick and gently push back the cuticle. Process the free edge to the desired shape, remove the shine from the nail surface with a buff and remove dust particles from it.
- Apply the chosen shade on the nail in a thin layer (including on the end of the nail).
- For polymerization, place the nails in the LED lamp for 45 seconds.
- You will need this item if you decide to apply another layer of coating, then again into the lamp. At the end of the procedure, apply Gelish Nourish Cuticle Oil to the cuticles. Beauty is ready.
