Uno gel polish: features and a variety of shades

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

Uno gel polish can even be applied on thinned nail plates, while the coating does not harm the nails and produces a healing effect. The texture of Uno has a rather 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 no problems in the form of tubercles or lumps with this material will arise.

The Uno color palette has rich, deep, diverse shades, and the gel polish itself is durable. It is removed quite simply - you can get by with a special tool for removing gel polish. In the product line, in addition to pigment coatings, there is a base, finish, cuticle products.

The main disadvantages of such material can be considered not the lowest cost and lack of wide availability - products are not so easy to find in professional stores, so craftsmen who prefer this particular brand turn directly to the official website. Information about the brand is also not very common, so in most cases you can see Uno gel polish in the salon by professional masters who are deeply studying new products and constantly testing brands.

However, the advantages of this brand are really many - It is great for those who are just taking their first steps in nail art or doing it for themselves, because it is convenient to use. Compared to many other coatings, Uno fits extremely smoothly and creates a spectacular mirror finish. Due to its density and quality, the coating is very resistant and durable - in this segment it easily withstands competition with many expensive brands. The declared sock time is from 2 to 4 weeks.

The base coat does not peel off even on thin plates; no primer is required. In addition, Uno is perfectly combined with many other brands, for example, the popular and widespread Cody. Another obvious plus is the absence of a sharp, unpleasant aroma, so working with this gel polish is really comfortable. As noted above, the color palette is incredibly rich in various shades and can satisfy the most sophisticated taste.

To date, the palette includes more than 150 different shades, the names of which can be found on the official website. With their help, you can perform any, even the most complex and unusual design. Monochrome shades, thermal varnishes, the basic base of Rubber base, the popular "cat's eye" - all this can be purchased under one brand.

The Uno Lux line has over 10 different collections. It is characterized by tremendous durability for one month and includes rich palettes of modern fashionable shades. Each tone has not only a number, but also a unique and unusual name that resonates with color. For example, shade 330 Apple Red (“Red Apple”) has a bright, juicy, incredibly effective color or shade 438 (“Magnolia”) - a subtle pearl, iridescent, with a gentle tint.

Color variety is not the only thing the Uno palette is rich in. This brand offers a variety of textures and effects, such as mother of pearl. Uno thermogel varnishes give you the opportunity to see manicures completely different with temperature extremes. You can choose a design that will change its color - just go from the cold to a warm room.

Of course, this is not a brand discovery, but it definitely keeps pace with the latest fashion trends and technologies.

Another hit of the season - the effect of "cat's eye" - is widely represented in the palette of the brand Uno. This nail art at the same time resembles the iridescence of a gemstone and the variability of a cat's pupils. It is distinguished by a magnetic coating, which does not change its brilliance and flicker even after a few weeks. Neon, pastel, classic - all the most fashionable and elegant options can be found in the line of thermal varnishes and coatings with the effect of “cat's eyes”.

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

First of all, it is necessary to purchase, in addition to pigment coatings, base and finish. The manufacturer in the lineup has a base and top that blend perfectly 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 coating that will protect the plate from an aggressive color coating, providing an ideal adhesion to the surface of the nail. The base brush is stiff and short pile - this should be taken into account during the first procedure. Masters do not recommend strongly pressing the brush to the surface of the nail - this can prevent the appearance of furrowed strips. The consistency density ensures uniform application and eliminates runoff of the base.

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 color type, which also has a density, so it is enough to apply one even layer. After that, it must be dried and, if necessary, applied a second layer of pigment varnish. After the drying process, it is recommended to apply a transparent top, dry and remove the sticky layer with UNO Gel cleanser.

According to reviews, Uno gel polishes meet almost all the stated requirements: they are resistant, withstand the necessary time to wear, do not exfoliate. They do not form cracks and chips without serious mechanical stress. There is practically no unpleasant odor, only when applying the base layer should you use a mask.

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