To make your manicure using “Cat Eye” look richer and more impressive, professionals advise applying a black base coat to the nail plate before applying this gel polish. Then the play and depth of color will be more mesmerizing.
Application Features
Although all gel polishes have common application principles, there are still individual differences: different bonders, different polymerization times in UV and LED lamps.
Let's say you purchased Canni gel polish. How to apply it correctly?
- A manicure for this coating is done the same as for nail extensions. Don’t forget about the end of the nail: it is recommended to go over it with a 180-grit file so that the edge is well sealed. The natural shine of the nail is removed with a buff. Nails are degreased.
- Applying bonder is an important step. Bonder acts like double-sided tape. Designed for natural nail plate. It should not come into contact with the remnants of the base from the previous coating. You need to seal the end with it and air dry it for half a minute.
- Apply the base in a very thin layer, rubbing in. We coat the end. Polymerization in a 35-watt UV tunnel lamp takes 2 minutes, in an LED lamp – half a minute. Lamps must be of high quality.
- The color must be applied very thinly, in three layers. Don't forget about the end. Each layer should be polymerized for the same amount of time as the base.
- The top - top coating - is also applied with the end sealed and polymerized for 3 minutes in a UV lamp and 1 minute in an LED lamp. After polymerization, the dispersion layer is removed with alcohol and oil is dripped onto the cuticle.
Nail design
Many people think about how they can perform a manicure with Canni gel polish. It’s safe to say – anyone. Dark colors can be printed on foil and casting can be done. Using a construction gel of the same brand, you can create an imitation of precious stones.
You can add acrylic (powder for extensions) to the gel polish and make knitting and sculpting. And, of course, ombre. The marble technique also works great. Design "Cosmos", drawings using layer-by-layer technique - all this is available. You can focus on the Ole House school and its design classes. If you use pigments in your design, this will significantly increase the number of options.
Classic shades and pastel palette
Like all manufacturers, Kanni was the first to introduce a series of traditional gel polishes. Noble red, pure white, deep black and their variations allow you to create the finish of your dreams on your nails. Reviews say that 2 layers of the product are enough to ensure that the color goes on evenly and the nail plate does not show through it.
Pay attention to the wine and plum color scheme included in the classic collection. This includes noble shades that look equally good applied alone or complemented with nail design. Canni has unveiled Canni 124 gel polish shade for fashionistas. It is a deep color that includes notes of dark red, brown and cherry. Canni 124 tone is at the peak of popularity today. Look at the photo showing the coating.
The pastel palette is represented by natural beige shades, as well as light pink and soft caramel shades. The colors of Canni gel polishes are diverse enough to satisfy the taste of even the most demanding fashionistas.
How long does Kanni gel polish last on nails?
It’s not for nothing that technology has been given for each gel polish. Bonder holding time and polymerization for the proper amount of time are the key to success. Not all gel polishes require a thin layer of base. Gel polish “Kanni” is very scrupulous in this matter. Manufacturers warn that a thick base layer leads to chipping of the color layer.
Another tip from technologists: this gel polish should not be applied to flexible, soft, peeling nails. It is designed for strong nails. You can use the same brand of extension materials to strengthen the nail plate.
Craftsmen who work with this brand note different periods of wearing polish for their clients. On strong natural nails, gel polish lasts up to 3 weeks, after which they simply grow back.
On weak, thin and flexible nails, the material adheres only if it is treated with care. But a modern woman is rarely isolated from household chores, so it is better to use this gel polish on vacation.

Advice from professionals
Those artists who have been working with this brand for a long time have noticed that Canni is a gel polish that has a weak base and top. This is why many people replace them with a compatible brand, such as Kodi.
Some clients are allergic to this base. In this case, another material is selected. No allergies were noticed to the colored layer.
Some colors are so transparent that even 3 layers will not give the desired effect. Instead of going for a thick layer, it's better to set these tones aside.
In order for the gel polish to polymerize well, it is better to keep your hand in the lamp longer, as this will protect the material from becoming brittle and give it a strong shine.
Strengthening your nails with gel before applying gel polish has a good effect on the result.
Before applying to the nail, roll the closed bottle in your palms with the cap down. This helps to mix the composition, and the gel polish adheres better and polymerizes evenly.
