Shape and buff nails, then clean them thoroughly with a disinfectant and degreaser. If any creams or oils were used, they should be cleaned away as well. Remove the cuticle with an orangewood stick or any other cuticle pusher. Using a buff with a coarse sanding band, gently remove the upper layer of keratin to smooth the surface to make it matte. Do not overdo this, as removing a thick layer can harm the nail plate. The next step is to cover the nails with a primer to ensure that the gel polish adheres properly and lasts as long as possible. The primer air-dries for one minute; when applied, it should not touch the cuticle. Before applying the coloured gel polish, shake the bottle well to ensure that the formula is properly mixed. Apply each layer in a thin coat all the way to the edges of the nail, being mindful not to stray onto the skin. Nail technicians recommend at least two coats of colour; additional coats may be applied as needed to achieve the desired effect. To prevent any air bubbles or wrinkles, make sure that all coats are thin. The gel polish can also be used in a three-phase system, allowing the coverage to last longer up to 4 weeks. Cure the polish in between each coat, placing the nails under a UV lamp for 2 minutes or a 36W LED lamp for 1 minute. The gel doesn’t leave a tacky residue after curing. As a result, you get perfect glossy nails.
Gel Polish Removal
Using a coarse nail file, remove the top coat layer until it is no longer shiny and smooth. Soak a cotton ball in acetone until it is damp but not dripping wet. Place it on top of a fingernail, wrap the tip of the finger in aluminium foil or use ready-made remover wraps. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes to let the acetone soak into the gel polish. Now the gel polish can be easily removed without damaging the nail plate. Remove the gel polish from each nail with the orangewood stick. Gently buff the nails to smooth the surface and take off any remaining particles of the gel polish. Finish off by applying the cuticle oil to rehydrate the cuticles as needed.

It turned out that I have a terrible allergy to this nail polish. The skin around my nails became covered in blisters and itched. It took about a week or so for everything to clear up. The areas where I scratched left marks that lasted for another week.
The product has a beautiful deep color with a cool undertone. Shade 367.
The product is in the shade 456, which is a creamy milk chocolate color. I have been using it for a month now and applying it in two thin layers.
I purchased item number 245, but the color does not match the actual product.
The coating applies unevenly, even in multiple layers. The next day after application, it started peeling off. I am not satisfied with the quality.
Today I received my nail polishes in shades 134 and 556. Unfortunately, shade 556 does not dry under the lamp. (I wish I had read the reviews earlier, as others have also mentioned this issue). Interestingly, shade 556 seems to be thicker in consistency compared to shade 134. I will see how well shade 134 wears over time.
The color does not match at all. I chose a sandy color, but received a bright red one instead.
The nail polishes 245 and 556 do not dry under the lamp, while the other shades that I ordered dry beautifully.
Prior to the previous comment, I ordered size 182, and the color matched perfectly.
The color in the picture is very similar. I haven't applied it yet, I will complete it later.
Good day! Please bring me another ton of 006 and 287.
A lightweight and fast option that suits me perfectly. I like the compact size. I will definitely buy it again.
The color may not match exactly, but it is still beautiful. I can't say anything about how it wears yet. It has been covering for 5 days.
The color matches the photo.
Review number 367, prior to the previous one, in my life.
The gel polish is of good quality. It provides full coverage in 2-3 coats and applies evenly. I wore it on my thin nails for 9 days, which is a record for me. I applied it over a dehydrator and primer, without any nail filing.
What's important is that the polish is easily removed with soaking for 10-15 minutes (without prior filing of the polish).
However, I have a complaint about the makeup.ua website. The color palette for these polishes needs correction. And there is no need to mention that the manufacturer can change the characteristics due to different monitors. Because for this line, the official website's color palette is quite accurate. For example, shade number 94 is declared as salmon, and it truly is salmon! On your website, it was described as beige-pink. The same situation occurred with shade 367, which you labeled as plum, while on the official website, it is a dark pink. In other words, all the colors on your website appear much darker than they actually are. This needs to be corrected.
I did a manicure and pedicure, didn't buff the nails, removed cuticles, and applied a non-acid primer. I applied two coats of polish and there is no stickiness after drying. I did my nails a week ago and everything is still holding up, even after washing dishes and doing laundry. Next time, I'll try applying a top coat on top. I'm satisfied with everything! The color is bright red with microscopic sparkles.
The color does not match... it is too bright for autumn.
Terrible nail polish! I bought shade 503, but the color does not match the picture. It only lasted on my nails for one day.
This gel is good to wear. Depending on the color, the density and pigmentation of the gel may vary. I would like to see a better quality color palette on the website. It is very difficult to guess the color accurately.
Quick to wear off.
I absolutely did not like it. After just one day, the polish started to peel off. I even prepared my nails by degreasing them and applying primer from Cody - everything as usual. I'm going back to regular three-step polishes - I won't be buying single-step ones anymore.
This is an excellent nail polish. It lasts for 2 weeks. The color is vibrant and beautiful. After removing the top coat, it shines. I am satisfied with the product and I recommend it. If you like red, then this shade is exactly what you need. It also has sparkles.
I bought this product as my first nail polish when I was learning how to do my own manicure. I have shades 144, 148, and 589. I can't say anything bad about them, but if you don't use a base coat, they don't last long. I recently bought a base coat and top coat, and they last perfectly for three weeks. I'm buying shade 589 for the second time because I really liked it. I believe that if you want to learn how to do your own manicure and nail polish but don't have all the top coats, base coats, removers, etc., you can start with these single-phase ones.
I love koto gel polishes, but not the one-step ones. On the second day after application, there are chips appearing. I tried applying it in one, two, and even three coats, but the situation is the same. In fact, it is just regular nail polish. I don't recommend it, go for the regular koto gel polish, use a base and top coat, and your manicure will last beautifully.
It's great that it only requires one drying session, but it chips just like regular nail polish... I'm not very satisfied.
The nail polish is great. The color is fantastic and it shines beautifully after removing the sticky layer. I recommend this nail polish. If you like red color, this is the perfect shade. It lasts for a long time. Thank you for the good product.
I am dissatisfied with my order for the first time. I ordered shade 057 (which is no longer available), but the color does not match what was indicated on the website. The picture showed a deep muted cherry shade, but in reality, it is some kind of sandy orange. And please don't mention individual monitor settings, it seems like they are not set correctly for all customers ((( The expiration date is approaching, and the bottle is not fully sealed. I am surprised that the nail polish didn't spill at all. The nail polish has an uneven structure. The only thing that is always reliable is the delivery and the excellent work of the managers! I definitely recommend the store, but not the nail polish.
These are my first gel polishes - bought them to try. After six months, I switched to 3-phase ones because they are definitely better. I have three shades, all of them differ in quality. The colors are well represented in my photo, but they have nothing to do with the manufacturer's picture in reality.
207 - coffee with milk, with an orange tint. The color of a plastic doll :) It's liquid, can be applied in 2 layers. It evens out easily. It doesn't last as long as the others, maximum of 7-10 days on strong nails. It's easy to remove.
570 - calm orange-red, coral with a barely noticeable gold glitter. Very beautiful color! It's semi-transparent, needs 3 layers. It lasts better than the others, but it's difficult to remove.
184 - pure intense pink. Bright, but not acidic. It's almost impossible to even out, difficult to apply evenly if not topped. It doesn't dry very well, unlike the others.
207 and 184 mix to a very pleasant dusty pink.
The shine is not super, but quite acceptable. I currently use these polishes as 3-phase ones, with a top coat and base coat. I can say that they are all quite challenging to apply, but the colors are beautiful.
My first experience using gel nail polishes. The polish applies beautifully!!!! Fast delivery!!! The colors are AMAZING! Thank you SO MUCH MAKEUP!!!!
The description states that after application, it is necessary to remove the sticky layer, but as a result, the gloss disappears.
I really liked this gel polish! I applied it without a base coat, just on primer code. But the second time I applied a thin layer of top coat on top of it, as it lacked a bit of shine without it. I wore it for two weeks, including thermal pools, sand, and vacation activities. It was amazing. My nails stayed vibrant underneath it. It lasted very well. Removing it wasn't as easy as expected!
I really liked it, it comes off easily.
