Frequently Asked Questions
Say hello to the future! Gel Nail Polish is a breakthrough, technology that combines the ease of polish with the performance of gels. A true innovation in a chip-free, extended-wear colour.
The formula is thin and flexible like polish, so it not only looks natural, it provides strong natural nail protection with a resilient mirror finish that resists dullness and chipping. There is absolutely no damage to the natural nail in the process.
The formulation of solvents, monomers and polymers is why Gel Colour Polish goes on like polish, wears like gel and removes in minutes.
Plus its Vegan & Cruelty Free, hypo-allergenic and 7-FREE… containing no Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP, Formaldehyde Resin & Camphor, Triphenyl Phosphate (TPHP) & Xylene.
Like any quality polish application, the Gel Colour Polish system features a Base Coat, Colour Coat and Top Coat. Unlike traditional polish it cures under a UV lamp or L.E.D. lamp so there is zero dry time.
The results: 14-day, glorious, high-gloss shine that truly is addictive! No more sitting around waiting for your nails to dry or worrying about smudging your beautiful polish. Apply correctly and your left with a gorgeous manicure that is completely DRY and will last for a minimum of 2 weeks.
Minimum 14-day high-gloss wear / Mirror Finish Zero Dry Time /
No Nicks, Chips or Smudges unlike normal polishes /
FREE from Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP, Formaldehyde Resin & Camphor, Triphenyl Phosphate (TPHP) & Xylene.

Every layer of gel polish once cured generally has a “tacky", inhibition layer. Some don't depending on the formula. This is what helps each layer adhere to each other. Use an alcohol based product like Cleanser Plus or Isopropyl Alcohol to remove your “tacky" layer of your Top Coat once cured if you have used the normal Diamond Gloss Top Coat. Our Diamond Gloss No Wipe & Ultimate Gloss No Wipe Top Coats are not left with a tacky layer after curing.
Exactly what it says, it leaves no “tacky" layer. Its applied, cured and voila, your done. No tacky layer to removed.
We currently have 2 in stock.
Our Ultimate Gloss No Wipe Top Coat is by far one of the most superior Top Coats on the market.
Our Diamond Gloss No Wipe Top Coat is also an amazing product however we don’t recommend trying to chrome or rub pigments into this top coat. It can also leave a slight Blue Hue over Black colours.
Firstly you need to know your lamp type and wattage. Then adjust them to the times below.
UV 36 watt lamp (wavelength 200nm – 400nm) requires a 2 minute cure per coat.
LED 12 watt lamp (wavelength 400nm – 450nm) requires a 1 minute cure per coat.
CMP 54 watt Galaxy Lamp (wavelength 365nm-405nm) requires 30 seconds cure per coat.
Product can lift/peel due to many reasons. What you use your nails for plays the biggest part in maintaining your manicure.
Your nails are “Jewels, not Tools", so in saying that, be careful with them.
- Always use gloves when doing dishes or cleaning as chemicals can cause Gel Polish to lift.
- Swimming within 24 hours of having your gel polish applied can cause lifting.
- Medications can cause lifting, or even change in hormones.
- The nail plate must be prepped properly for ultimate adhesion. Removal of all true cuticle and dehydration with a product like Isopropyl Alcohol or Cleanser Plus should be done.
- Capping your free edge is also a major must.
- Keeping your layers thin, even if it means doing an extra coat to get the desired colour depth will also help with a lasting manicure.
