How do you recognise Kaniu products?
The glitter jars have "KANIU" printed on the clear lid, and the brand writes its name as 卡妞 in Chinese.
What do you need to use Kaniu charm moulds?
A thick gel that holds its shape, such as solid builder gel or carving gel, and a UV/LED lamp. The moulds are clear silicone, so the gel cures inside them. The Kaniu silicone stick presses the gel in and levels it.
Lace foil or lace stamping plate?
Both give a lace design without freehand painting. The lace foil covers a whole nail in one press and needs foil gel. The stamping plate lets you pick one motif at a time and choose any colour of stamping polish.
