After such material as shellac appeared in the nail service, the fashion for natural nails returned again. And this is not surprising! Why wear artificial ones when you can grow your own, get a beautiful manicure, and then forget about files and scissors for a few weeks? Unfortunately, shellac from CND is quite expensive. PNB gel polish was the way out!
Price category
This is not to say that the products are completely cheap. However, the price of PNB gel polish is much lower than its branded counterpart. It is noteworthy that many private masters and salons began to switch to this company, since it is possible to significantly save on consumables. The cost of one colored bottle of gel polish ranges from 450-600 rubles.
Quality
The manufacturer claims that the material will last on the nails for four weeks. Based on the results of testing by masters, it was revealed that PNB gel polish is really good. When applied correctly, it lasts exactly 28 days. The consistency of the material is quite thick, the gel polish does not spread over the nails, quickly polymerizes in an ultraviolet lamp, and does not chip.
Reviews
Despite the fact that the company is not yet very well known in Russia, there are enough people who have already appreciated the new manicure products. PNB gel polish, which has mostly good reviews, is loved by many. Masters note first of all the ease of working with it. Firstly, the material lays down well and evenly. It won't streak like many budget options. Secondly, it does not crumple during long-term storage. For example, some gel polishes from other companies tend to delaminate during downtime. And often lumps form in the consistency. PNB gel polish was not noticed in this. Even if not used for several months, it retains its consistency unchanged. Thirdly, PNB gel polish, reviews of which are mostly laudatory, has a very wide palette. Choosing the right color is not difficult. There is no need to buy a lot at once.
Right choice
The parameters by which you need to choose gel polish have already been briefly described above. They work not only for manicure professionals, but also for girls who choose a product for home use.
The durability of the coating refers to the amount of time that the gel polish will remain shiny without chipping, peeling or cracking. The instructions for gel polish must contain a mention of at least three weeks of durability.
Ease of use is a more professional selection criterion, but it is no less important for home use, especially when it comes to beginners in this business. A varnish with good consistency will allow you to create a manicure faster and with better quality. In addition, you need to pay attention to the brush. It should not be too wide so that the strokes are perfectly accurate.
Removing gel polish is also an important parameter. It should take no more than 15 minutes to dissolve all layers when performing the procedure using standard means. Ideally, the varnish should not be pre-filed.
The palette is also important for work, especially for professionals. The more colors a manufacturer offers, the more design options you can offer your clients or friends. Also remember to consider the degree of pigmentation.
Don’t forget about the components that make up the gel polish. They should be as harmless as possible, and the smell should not be strong. Usually a strong odor is an indicator of a poor composition. Also consider the cost and volume of the bottle. If you like to change your nail designs frequently, then it is better to give preference to a manufacturer that offers miniature products, since the polish in large volumes may simply dry out before final use.
Colors
Naturally, there are many shades of long-term coating. PNB (gel polish) is no exception. The palette is very, very extensive. In total there are more than a hundred different shades. However, there is no need to purchase a lot at once. Many masters use a little trick. Having bought varnishes of the most basic base colors, they mix them together in an artistic palette to obtain new shades. Due to the fact that the consistency of the gel polish is uniform, this procedure is quite simple. It is enough to mix a certain amount of material and then test the result, controlling the color saturation. As a way to save money at the initial stage, this option is quite attractive.

- liquid or uneven texture with lumps;
- weak pigmentation (color is unevenly distributed);
- unpleasant odor;
- suspiciously low price.
The bottle of the original gel polish is packaged in a protective film that covers the entire bottle. The cardboard box contains the batch number and contains a QR and barcode.
