It's hard to imagine a girl who has never had her nails coated with gel polish.

How to spot a fake
Today, unscrupulous businessmen are trying to make money by launching imitations of American products.
If you want to distinguish fake Kodi gel polish, you need to pay attention to several things:
- price. The original will cost at least 400 rubles per bottle. The average price is 600 rubles (base and finish are more expensive). If you are offered to buy a product at a suspiciously low price, most likely it is a fake;
- label. Take a closer look at the sticker before purchasing. If the font looks untidy or the label is stuck on crookedly, there is a high probability that it is a fake. On the original, the sticker is made in several layers, each of which contains different information;
- The lid and bottom of the bottle are a good indicator of whether this is an original. A bottle from a real manufacturer does not have teeth inside the cap; it should be smooth. The same applies to the bottom of the bottle. If there is ribbing, this is an imitation;
- You can also tell a fake Kodi gel polish by its consistency. The best way is to watch how the base behaves. The original is very thick, it is almost impossible to shake the product off the brush. But a fake can be distinguished by its liquid consistency, which, moreover, smells unpleasant.
If you are afraid of purchasing a fake, buy gel polish on the official KODI website. The shade palette of the American manufacturer includes a huge number of colors.
