Canni, gel polish: reviews from masters

Gel polish coating is a great way to make women’s hands more well-groomed and attractive, and the durability of the coating greatly saves time and allows you to visit a nail specialist less often for a new manicure.

Among the many gel polishes offered by various brands at present, both masters and amateurs pay special attention to Canni gel polish .

Kanni gel polish is made from high-quality materials that are thoroughly cleaned from harmful substances.

Manufacturers of this gel polish strictly monitor compliance with the manufacturing technology of the material. When buying Kanni gel polish, you can be confident in the quality . Proof of this is the numerous customer reviews about this product.

Answering the question: “Can a high-quality product be cheap?”, manufacturers confidently say “Yes.” And this is true, because many masters and their clients have already been convinced of the quality of Kanni gel polish.

About Canni

The product has been manufactured since 2007. At that time there was no Shellac and colored gels were intended for extended nails. They had to be cut down because the material was insoluble. Not all craftsmen could withstand the smell of strong chemicals during daily work.

With the advent of Shellac from CND, the copying of gel polishes from famous brands began. The task was not easy - while the price of the bottle was significantly reduced, it was necessary to maintain quality. Not everyone succeeded.

The addition of a varnish component, which makes the material soluble, reduces other indicators. That is why there have been transitional moments in the company's history. The palette is replenished every year, and there are fewer and fewer unsuccessful formulas. There are no harmful ingredients.

However, some tones apply better than others. There are varnishes that have a good sticky layer - you can do casting on it. And there are those that the casting does not work out.

Some features of this brand are worth considering in more detail.

Base

Unfortunately, the home base of this brand is a bit harsh. True, another, rubber, Canni base for gel polish came out - it has better reviews. Masters have long noticed that rubber bases increase the service life of the gel on thin and brittle nails.

Many craftsmen working with this brand have adapted to applying the “Kodi” base. It is rubbery and adheres well to Canni, although it requires careful application.

The original Canni base comes off in parts when the sticky layer is removed, so it does not last long and is not suitable for some designs. But if you apply it with rubbing movements, a thin layer and a special brush and at the same time make a varnish square, you will get a good result.

Possible allergy

Despite the fact that Kanny's products are certified and meet sanitary standards, allergies to the company's products are possible. On the Internet you can find reviews about when fingers became swollen after a manicure and blisters appeared, which subsequently burst, forming wounds, after which they had to be restored for a long time with the help of medications.

In some cases, shellac or adhesive remover may cause this reaction. But judging by the reviews, in many cases the allergy was provoked by the Canny base and top, since when they were replaced with Cody or Shellak, an allergic reaction did not occur.

In this case, the base and top coats must be replaced. To avoid such consequences, before deciding on a large purchase, it is first better to limit yourself to one bottle of gel polish. If you don't have allergies, you can purchase more flowers.

Top

Among economy class salons there are many that use Canni gel polish. Reviews from craftsmen about the top coating are unflattering. It may peel off the coating, may break off in pieces from the edges of the nails and lose its shine in the sock.

Those girls who still prefer their own top from Canni apply it in a very thin layer. It is important to know the shelf life here, because the top thickens over time.

Rolling the inverted bottle in your hands helps apply the composition in a thin layer. This lifts the particles that make up the composition from the bottom.

Some online stores, aware of the problems with the Canni base and top, make up sets of several color numbers and rubber bases and tops.

But recently the company released its rubber top.

Advantages and disadvantages of Canni gel polish

The advantages of Kanni gel polish include:

high quality of materials included in the gel polish;
durability of the coating (the manufacturer guarantees up to 4 weeks of durability of the coating without chipping);
affordable price of Kanny gel polish;
ideal consistency of material for application;
good pigmentation of varnishes - two or three layers are enough for a rich and even color;
comfortable brush made from natural materials;
absence of unpleasant odor, which makes the procedure of its use comfortable;
a varied palette of colors.

The disadvantages of Kanny gel polish from the nail industry include:

first of all, the cost of a manicure when using gel polish, because in the current economic situation in the world, not everyone can afford to go to a specialist and pay for coating their nails with gel polish, even at a fairly affordable price.
secondly, due to the peculiarity of the technology for coating the nail plate with gel polish, when the material fits tightly to the nail, over time, microcracks , in which dirt and microbes can accumulate, contributing to the appearance of fungus. However, this does not threaten you, you take care of hand hygiene and do a manicure during the procedure.

Palette

The choice of tones is huge. There is everything: pastel, pearlescent, magnetic, thermo, metallic, and nude - for every taste. But Canni gel polish received negative reviews (for some items). For example, neons numbered 160 and 091, although they lie flat, are visible even in three layers.

For the jacket, tone 023 (white) and camouflages with smoke 040, 011, 096 and 013 are used. But camouflage 096 is transparent, the natural nail shines through.

Different clients have different reviews for the same tones. It does not adhere to thin and flexible nails; strengthening should be done underneath it. This happens because the Canni composition becomes hard after polymerization.

Since the nail makes micromovements when working with your hands, its free edge is constantly bent and unbent. It may not be noticeable, but when small cracks appear on the nails, this is the result of too hard gel polish.

"Cat's Eye"

The consistency of this gel polish is very thick. There are 24 colors in the palette and some are very close in tone to each other. This is the first minus. The second is that the brush has a straight, flat cut; it is not easy to paint nails close to the cuticle with it. Some masters work with a brush to apply gel No. 4 - it turns out neatly. Or they simply use the technique of applying gel polish “under the cuticle”.

Canni gel polish “Cat Eye” has positive reviews regarding color depth. I especially like the blue tones. They are compared to the sea. In general, Canni doesn’t have many “cats”, but the colors are beautiful.

Wears well and is easy to take off. It's easy to make a fine line even with a weak magnet.

It’s inconvenient that all the “cat” tones are packaged in identical bottles. Until you open it, you won’t understand the color. This is the third disadvantage. The number on the bottle forces you to check the palette or remember all the tones by heart.

Application Features

To ensure that your manicure lasts long and well, the manufacturer recommends performing the following sequence of actions:

prepare the nail plates, push back the cuticle, remove the skin, give the desired shape with a nail file, remove the top layer with a buff-polisher, moving in the direction of the free edge of the nail;
degrease the nail plate using special wipes and a product, then wait for the nail to dry completely;
apply a primer from Kanni, which will ensure better adhesion of the gel polish to the nail plate, wait until it dries;
apply the base in a thin layer: if it is too thick, the coating will peel off (the manufacturer advises Kanni, but many women recommend taking a better product). Dry the coating under an ultraviolet (2 min.) or LED (30 sec.) lamp;
Apply the gel polish in a very thin layer, especially near the cuticle, sealing the end of the nail. To get a darker shade, you can apply two more layers, heating each layer under the lamp for the same amount of time as after applying the base;
apply the finishing coat and seal the free part of the nail, dry in an LED device for about 50 seconds, in an ultraviolet lamp for 3 minutes;
remove the sticky layer with a special liquid;
apply cuticle oil.

Despite such recommendations from manufacturers, there are some nuances when applying Kanni gel polishes. When purchasing Canny shellacs, you need to keep in mind that not all of them have the same density. Among the company's products there are gel polishes with a thick consistency that fit perfectly onto the nail plate, and to achieve the desired color, it is enough to apply one, maximum two layers.

The only caveat is that they are difficult to apply on the nail in a thin layer, but they dry well under an ultraviolet lamp, do not bubble, do not shrink or spread.

But there are also products that are too liquid, when two layers are not enough, you need to apply three or even five layers. Otherwise, the layer will be uneven and stripes will be visible on the coating. Another difficulty is that gel polish spreads a lot, so you have to dry each finger separately so that the polish does not “float” and flow onto the cuticle and skin around the nail while the second nail is being painted.

This not only increases the manicure time (each layer must be dried for at least two minutes), but also leads to rapid consumption of gel polish. In addition, such shellac quickly cracks, crumbles, and chips. For example, one of the most capricious shades of the palette is the bright neon pink color, which goes under number 092.

Gel polish Canni 010: reviews

Craftsmen consider the texture of this material to be liquid. You need to get used to applying it without blots or runs on the side rollers. Some colors are so well pigmented that they can be applied in just one layer.

Nude 010 Canni has an interesting color. The gel polish received rave reviews. When applied in three layers, it camouflages the nail plate well.

Has the color of a healthy nail of a light tone. Ideally matches any skin. Looks beautiful on a tan too. This tone is loved by those who are forced to comply with a dress code.

You can make a French coat using tone 010. To do this, first apply camouflage in a thin layer, then apply white tone 023 in one layer. To make it easier to apply 010 tone, you can use a professional brush and work with rubbing movements. This will eliminate the appearance of stripes, which is the problem with many nudes.

Under French, it is important to maintain a small thickness of the coating on the free edge, otherwise chips will quickly appear.

Variety of colors

Speaking about Canny shellacs, one cannot fail to mention the rich color palette, the number of shades of which exceeded two hundred tones, while almost everyone mentions beautiful, rich colors. Among Kanni's products you can find both standard, plain shellacs, as well as those with a shining effect, cat's eye or thermal gel polishes (which change their shade depending on the temperature). One of the Canni finishes allows you to give the varnish not only a glossy, but also a matte appearance.

Shellacs of a single-color palette, without impurities in the form of mother-of-pearl and sparkles, received the best reviews: they last better. Women who have used shellacs of different shades claim that dark colors wear better, crack and chip less (but there are negative reviews about black gel polish No. 161). True, after hardening under an ultraviolet lamp, they leave a larger amount of sticky layer than light colors.

It is recommended to apply light varnishes in three layers so that the color is clearly visible. Some shades will look different when applied to your nails than they did in the bottle (for example, cherry polish may dry reddish-brown). You also need to pay attention to this point when looking for reviews about a particular color palette.

Some women are not happy with thermal gel polishes, the trick of which is that they change color when they go from cold to warm: according to reviews, for this to happen, the difference in temperature changes must be very high. There are different reviews about glitter polishes, mostly positive, but there are cases when foreign substances were found in the bottles.

Thermo gel polish

New in the nail industry is thermal gel polish. Canni has collected contradictory reviews here too. The fact is that the colors on the palette are different from those in the bottle. They are usually brighter than the monitor shows. It is not surprising, therefore, that some girls are disappointed.

One review is very typical: “I’m not ready for such an eye-catching color, it doesn’t suit anything and confuses me.”

Creative girls with a long free edge will fully enjoy the game of transition from one tone to another. If the free edge is short, it is better not to do a manicure with thermal gel polish. It will not manifest itself, since the temperature of the nail will be the same along its entire length.

What are the reviews from buyers of Kanny gel polish?

Tatyana (32 years old): “My acquaintance with Kanny gel polishes took place a couple of months ago, when I decided to do my own manicure using gel polishes. When I arrived at the store, I was confused among the variety of products and companies. The consultant recommended Kanny gel polishes to me. And I was not mistaken in listening to him. Kanni gel polishes are a wonderful combination of price and quality.”

Christina (24 years old): “Recently, I noticed that many masters began to use Kanny gel polishes in their work. I was used to using more expensive materials and I was confused by the varnish manufacturer - China, but still, having decided to try Kanny products, I can to say that China is not always an indicator of poor quality. I tried it and I liked everything. Cannies are in no way inferior to their more expensive counterparts.”

Olga (49 years old): “I like the texture of Kanni gel polish. He is easy to work with. The manicure always turns out beautiful. Wear time is an average of three weeks without chipping. This is an excellent result."

Zhanna (26 years old): “I’m on maternity leave, and I don’t have time to go to a specialist for beautiful nails. So I bought a Kanny starter kit and got creative. I don’t particularly protect my hands from water and household chemicals. But even with such a carefree approach to manicure, the Kanny coating lasts for more than two weeks. But I don’t need any more - I get tired of the same nail color. At the moment, I already have more than 60 Kanni gel polishes, and my head is full of manicure ideas.”

Removing the coating

You can tell a lot about its quality by how the coating is removed. Poorly removable gels do not contain varnish, so the plastic cannot be dissolved.

Canni gel polish has collected both positive and negative reviews. Of course, this is a soluble gel polish. But you need to remove it after reading the instructions.

The top layer must be cut off. Then remove the polish using wrappers, as for acrylic nails. Not every acetone-containing liquid will do the job. This is why there are such conflicting opinions. It is best to use special compounds for removing gel polishes.

According to reviews, the coating can be removed either with a film or peeled off like CND. This suggests that each tone has its own formula.

Kanny Products

Despite the fact that Canni gel polish is produced in China, the company’s products are certified, do not contain components hazardous to health, and are approved for import into the European Union. The company owes its popularity to its good price/quality ratio, and Kanny shellac is used not only at home, but also by professionals in beauty salons.

The Kanny company produces not only gel polishes, but also the products that are necessary for this procedure:

primer;
base coat;
finishing coating;
gel polishes;
gel paints.

It is worth noting that while opinions about Kanni gel polishes are mostly positive, the same cannot be said about the base and top coats. There are especially many dissatisfied with the foundation, and it is with it that the reasons why gel polish lasts less than the stated period are associated. As for the top coat, many people mention that it comes off like a film almost immediately after it hardens. But this problem can be solved, since, according to the manufacturer, Canny shellacs can be combined well with products from other companies.

This fact is confirmed by the fact that when using the base and top coat of the Codi company, the gel polish lasts longer and there are no problems with the finishing coat. The only point: you shouldn’t save money and buy Kodi’s “2 in 1” product, which is intended to replace the base and top layers, but buy two products. Otherwise, chips may appear on the second or third day.

True, there are not such categorical opinions about the base and top layer of Kanni: some women do not experience problems with the base and top, and therefore are completely satisfied with them. You can also successfully use a base and top coat from both Kanny and Kodi, Shellak or products from other companies.

How to wear Canni

There are a lot of negative reviews precisely because of the poor performance of gel polishes of this brand. The material itself is hard, it is good to apply it to already strengthened nails. Small cracks quickly appear on natural nails due to its poor plasticity. Moreover, the material itself does not chip off, and remains cracked on the nail.

Naturally, such a problem does not arise with a pedicure with Canni - the gel polish in this case has positive reviews. The nails on the feet do not bear the same load as on the hands, so you can apply it without first strengthening it.

Masters make a reservation about the base and top. Since Chinese materials combine well with each other, professionals simply use the Kodi base. You can also take the top “Kodi”. Then the coating will last more than 2 weeks, and on the legs - more than a month.

Reviews from consumers and craftsmen

Of course, this gel polish is manufactured in China, which makes it similar to the acclaimed Bluesky. Whether their quality is different, or whether Canni managed to get closer to CND, can be found out from the comments and posts of women who have tried this brand.

Regina : A walk through a large Chinese website unexpectedly ended for me with the purchase of a large set of Kanni gel polishes: the palette was very attractive, and the price turned out to be ridiculous - less than 150 rubles. for a bottle of varnish of 7.3 ml, and about 2.5 thousand rubles. for a starter kit with a UV lamp. I didn’t look for reviews - if I don’t like it, I’ll throw it away: not a lot of money. So, the bottle is eerily reminiscent of CND varnishes, right down to the placement of the inscriptions and font, the brush is classic, medium thickness, with sharp corners, the pile is neat, nothing sticks out anywhere. What’s attractive is that the top and base are completely fragrance-free, which really surprised me. The varnish smells, but very faintly. The technology, judging by the scant information on the label, is standard: the base needs to dry for 2 minutes, the color layer for the same amount, and the top for 3 minutes. In this case, each of them must be laid in a thin layer. After removing the sticky layer with my own cleaner, I went to test the manicure in the “combat conditions” of household chores. I’ll say right away that I don’t use gloves when coming into contact with water and chemicals, because... Your hands get very wet in them, so there was no protection for the gel polish. During the 9 days of testing, I managed to dig in the ground, carry out general cleaning, wash several things on my hands, and even accidentally hit the wall with my nails. The result is just a few minor scratches on the coating, but no chips, no slips, no cracks. I removed it through the foil and left it on for 20 minutes, after which the varnish simply crumbled.
Veronica : In my professional practice, I usually use EzFlow and CND, but I am not against new brands in my work suitcase. So I purchased several shades of Canni gel polish: I specifically took different textures to test their differences. The base and top are odorless, the varnish has a subtle aroma: in comparison with the above-mentioned brands, it’s just a fairy tale. The pigmentation of the jelly textures (my numbers 185 and 191) is slightly lower than the others: they can streak if you don’t distribute them well right away, so I advise you to be careful. The creams are perfectly pigmented, 2 layers are more than enough for them. Mother-of-pearl, as elsewhere, is difficult to install, also produces streaks and requires careful leveling. But during the drying process, neither the top, nor the base, nor the colored layers are collected, which is typical for some gel polishes: you don’t have to pour it behind the cuticle in order to subsequently avoid a thin strip between it and the border of the varnish. But I still recommend painting the end - it will seriously increase durability. The gloss from the top is insane, perfectly glassy, and lasts throughout the 14 days during which I had my manicure. To summarize, I will say that these Canni are a worthy competitor to other gel polishes, especially at such a price.

Julia : For a very long time I wanted to try a durable coating (shellac), but as a complete beginner in this, I was afraid to buy expensive sets, and then Kanni caught my eye. Reviews about gel polish on the Internet were mixed, I ordered at my own risk, hoping that I would not join the category of those who were disappointed. Didn't refill. The gel polish is very good, although it depends on the shade. With shimmer, as it turned out, everything is complicated: it takes a long time to dry, apply it far away, so that when it slides down, it just takes the desired shape. Soft cream (146) pink color lay tightly in only 3 layers, otherwise it left bald spots. But the darker creams (031 and 170) apply perfectly, do not creep, and the colors are deep. I wore it for 10 days and took it off because the edge of the overgrown nail was very noticeable. To remove it, I had to file the coating a little, hold it in foil with liquid and pry it off with a pusher. Nails are fine.
Evgeniya : I ordered a set of Canni gel polishes at the same time together with a friend, I will write a review based on testing each of them. The main thing I didn’t like was the defective topcoat I had: an uneven consistency that didn’t want to even out on the nail. I had to use my friend's top. I had 2 cream polishes, my friend had 1 shimmer and 1 pearlescent. Of these, the shimmer one turned out to be of poor quality: the accumulations of sparkles turned out to be local, I had to break them up and spread them over the nail. As for the behavior of the gel polish, there are no complaints here: it is easy to apply, polymerizes quickly, can be removed just as quickly, and lasts a long time.

Advice from professionals

Having studied Canni, gel polish, reviews from professionals and their advice, we can highlight the following:

You should check the expiration date and take liquid formulations.
To maintain working condition for as long as possible, you need to keep the lid clean. Gel adhering to the neck causes the varnish component to evaporate and the composition thickens.
It is better to take a base and top made of rubber or another company that matches Canni. This could be "Cody", for example.
When buying thermal gel polishes, be prepared for a brighter color.
Be sure to purchase tone 010, it suits everyone. Nude shades are always in fashion.
The coating should be removed with a milling cutter or a strong special agent after removing the top.

Fake: how to distinguish

There is a positive side to the fact that Canni is being counterfeited. This means that this brand has won enough fans. The plant and dealers carefully monitor the appearance on the market of low-quality products under a well-known brand. How to recognize a fake?

First of all, it's the smell. Gel polish has a specific smell, not strong and not offensive. If the purchase smells of strong chemicals or even lipstick, it is a fake.
Price is the second sign that may be wary. If someone offers Canni for a very ridiculous price, it is better to pass by. The price for delivery from the warehouse is $1.9 plus transportation costs. Below are only fakes.
The brush of the original product has a branded inscription closer to the cap. The brush is smooth and flat.
The font on the counterfeit bottle is bolder.
The bottle must have a Russified sticker.
Reviews recommend buying Canni gel polish only from official representatives. You can also get acquainted with quality certificates and the composition of gel polish.

In conclusion, we can say that Canni is a budget option with a rich palette. The original product is certified and approved by the Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision Authority and does not contain toluene, dibutyl phthalate and formaldehyde.

You need to adapt to this brand, and then your manicure will delight you for more than 2 weeks.
