Brand Spotlight: YOGO and MAYO

Step into the exciting world of nail art with Korean nail brands YOGO and MAYO, also collectively known as YOGO and MAYO. If you love cute nail art, you will also love YOGO and MAYO as cuteness is the very essence of both brands. The cute concept begins with the brand names.

YOGO is a cute expression or informal way of saying “this” in Korean. Derived from “이거” (igeo), “요고" (yogo) is used in a playful or affectionate manner. The brand MAYO or “마요" (mayo) in Korean, is a cute and informal term that can refer to the first syllable of “mayonnaise” and is also used at then end of statements that express “don’t” do something, as in “don’t leave” or “don’t change.” YOGO and MAYO not only reflect and celebrate the concept of cuteness through their names, but also through their nail products. 

With a love for cute and fun nail art, YOGO and MAYO offer nail products that help artists to create such nails. 

YOGO 
YOGO specializes in launching unique and innovative nail items and art gels.  Products under the YOGO brand include nail bits, basic gels, art gels, and nail supplies. At the height of the pandemic, YOGO launched acrylic shields in South Korea, providing a sanitizable barrier between nail artists and their guests, allowing for nail services to be provided in a safe manner. Not only does the brand integrate sensible aesthetics, innovation, and practicality, but also prioritizes creating products that promote safe nail care and healthy nails. 

The YOGO Mango nail bits were created to promote safe nail care, are easy to use, and are professional quality. Ceramic bit options help to reduce heating on the nails, while rounded head bits promote safety, minimizing unwanted damage or cuts. There are a variety of practical nail bit options for removal, nail preparation, refining enhancements, and finishing.

Other YOGO items like the 3D embossing gel jams are centered on nail art. These gels come in five color gels, the most versatile being the Milk Jam which comes in a white color. Milk Jam can also be mixed with gel color to create a custom 3D embossing gel. These 3D embossing gel jams are great for molding 3D characters and shapes, enhancing the nail art creation process to create cute and beautiful nail art. Of course, with the effort that is put into nail art creations, making sure the nails last is also important. 

The YOGO Zombie Base and Top gels boast high retention that lasts up to seven weeks! These gels can also be used to build an overlay on the nail and self levels quickly to create a smooth and glossy finish. Other gels that were created under the YOGO brand, contain unique formulations to ensure satisfying results. Some of YOGO’s products are patented, making them unique and proving them to be original. 

 
MAYO
MAYO specializes in offering trendy gel colors that are 13-free, HEMA-free, and vegan. Choose from mesmerizing magnetic gels, sparkly glitter gels, or glossy syrup gel options. For best results, use MAYO gel colors with MAYO base and top gels, which are specially formulated to enhance MAYO gel colors and support long-lasting manicures. Although MAYO gel colors are HEMA-free, MAYO foundational gels such as base gels, clear gels, and top gels do contain safe levels of HEMA when used as intended. HEMA is an ingredient that helps with adhesion and retention and is safe when products with HEMA are used as intended. 

In addition to stunning gel colors, MAYO also offers nail art brushes that can be used to create fine details such as gradient effects, french tips, stripes and checkered or gingham patterns. The brushes are made with an eco-friendly wooden brush handle and come in eco-friendly packaging. The brush hairs are thin and delicate with suitable tension to paint fine details. Each brush also comes with a cap to preserve the life of the brush. 

Whether you are a professional nail artist or someone who enjoys DIY manicures at home, MAYO is a trend-conscious and environmentally conscious brand that offers trendy gel options and nail art tools you need to achieve beautiful, long-lasting nail designs.
