Ivy Zhao — Product & Materials Research
Ivy Zhao handles product and materials research at Ubeauty — the unglamorous questions. What the tips are actually made of. How the adhesive behaves on oily nail plates. What a set looks like after five wears. She keeps the wear-test log that most of our guides are built on.
What Ivy covers
Material and safety questions, cost comparisons, and the honest limits of press-on nails. If a style doesn't suit a short nail bed, or a claim about "no damage" only holds when the set is soaked off properly, Ivy is the one who writes that down.
How she works
- Material specs are confirmed with the production line, not copied from a supplier listing.
- Adhesive performance is recorded across oily, dry and post-acrylic nail plates.
- Every comparison table states the conditions — wear method, nail length, how many washes per day.
