LADYMISTY Poly Gel - acrylate gel for repair and extension
One of the most popular nail products on Ali is not a gel polish in the truest sense of the word. It is a polygel that possesses the properties of both a UV curable coating and more durable acrylic. The composition is sold in tubes of 30 or 60 ml and is available in 3 dozens of different colors.
Pros:
- It cures under both UF and LED;
- Very quickly freezes under the lamp (even at low power, 20-30 seconds are enough);
- Creates a durable and wearable coating on the nails that does not lose flexibility;
- Suitable for extending the length and even volumetric decor;
- Tolerant to smell;
- Brush for applying, as a rule, comes in the kit.
Minuses:
- In contrast to the "usual" gel, its poly-modification does not spread, and the surface of the nail will have to be finished with a nail file or a router.
MIZHSE UV Poly Gel - self-leveling acrylate
Another polygel, this time in a more convenient packaging - a jar with a wide neck. So you can repair a damaged manicure, increase or simply strengthen the nails, getting a strong, but flexible coating. That's just the volume of jars is small (15 ml) - it will not last long.
Pros:
- Does not stick to the brush;
- There is a small self-leveling effect, which is a huge plus for such a thick compound;
- Easily refined by sawing and baf;
- Gorgeous wear - nails do not exfoliate and crack for at least a month;
- It quickly polymerizes even under thin UV;
- Don't bake.
Minuses:
- A poor selection of colors - mostly light and natural colors in the amount of 12 pieces.
CANNI VenaLisa - bright gel nail polishes
Brands Canni and Venalisa often share, although the manufacturer they have one, the design of the bottles is also not very different - as the composition of the gels. Varnishes are sold in ordinary bubbles of 7.5 ml with a brush or in jars with a wide neck 5 ml.
The first are presented on Ali in dozens of various colors, plus the base and the finish. A new collection of miniatures offers as many as 180 pure shades, ideal for designer painting.
Pros:
- A huge selection of saturated colors - matte, glossy, with sparkles and effects like "cat's-eye";
- Hiding - enough one or two layers to get the desired shade (if it is not bright varnish);
- The gel is well distributed on the nail plate, independently spreading in an even layer without bald spots;
- Wear 2-3 weeks;
- You can use both UV and LED lamps;
- It is quite tolerable smell;
- Great brush in the bubble.
Minuses:
- Because of the thick consistency, it is a little longer to hold the nails under the lamp (especially under ultraviolet light);
- Light tones have to be applied in a thicker layer so as not to shine through.
ROSALIND - for lovers of diversity
An extensive family of gel polishes with different effects (glitter, cat's eye, thermo) is also presented in several packaging options: products can be bought in bubbles of 7 or 10 ml.
Also in the line of the manufacturer there are mandatory in this case, the base and top, but it is better to choose a different brand - specifically, these compounds are often ineffective.
Pros:
- An insane amount of shades, which is why the manufacturer even had to divide them into series (pastel, classical, mother-of-pearl, etc.);
- Varnish suitable for LED and ultraviolet lamps;
- It is well distributed on the nail, without flowing under the skin;
- It is easily removed if necessary, although in the process of socks it keeps well and does not split off along the hem;
- Dense, plastic brush of small thickness;
- Very low price - on Ali these varnishes can be bought for 70 rubles.
Minuses:
- Despite the thick consistency, the coating should be applied in 3 thin layers to make it uniform.
Elite99 - a sea of special effects
This manufacturer has a lot of “just” gel varnishes of all colors and shades, and even the options with special effects are not counted. The most popular are metallic, platinum and 3D chameleon, large-glitter cheese varnishes, temperature-sensitive and neon coatings.
They are sold in bottles of different sizes: 7, 8, 10 and 12 ml, which allows you to choose the right option for fans of a particular palette of colors, and for lovers of experiments.
Pros:
- The largest selection of colors and shades - if you don’t find any option from your favorite manufacturers, the Elite99 definitely has it;

- The perfect consistency, due to which the varnish and falls without problems, and under the skin does not numb;
- Excellent durability - at least 2 weeks;
- Self-leveling texture;
- The sparing structure which is not causing an allergy even on sensitive nails.
Minuses:
- Many shades are not sufficiently pigmented and require the application of a large number of layers or an appropriate substrate.
SAVILAND 3-In-1 Gel Pen - in marker format
A very unusual version of the packaging gel polish, allowing you to do a manicure literally on the knee.
The coating is squeezed out of the handle tube directly onto the applicator brush using a rotating mechanism and is immediately distributed over the surface of the nail. If you adapt, everything will be done quickly and accurately.
Pros:
- It does not require either a base or a finishing coat, although with them the manicure resistance will be higher;
- Does not form a sticky layer after drying;
- Convenient brush applicator;
- The liquid texture is easily distributed over the nail, but because of this, varnish will have to be applied in several layers.
Minuses:
- Small volume - in each "felt-tip pen" only 5 ml of gel;
- Not the richest selection of colors - only 24.
