Collection: New Identity

The New Identity collection brings together a cross-section of professional Cactus products for gel polish, nail extensions, preparation, finishing and nail art. It is not a single technique, but a gateway to the main product categories in the catalogue.

What you will find in the New Identity collection

• Gel Polish: professional colours for complete manicures, even coverage and decorations.
• Gel Polish Bases: products for adhesion, reinforcement and preparation of the service.
• Builder Gels: builder gels in different consistencies for overlays, refills and extensions.
• Top Coat: glossy, matte and decorative finishes.
• Nail Art Products: gels, pigments, glitter, accessories and tools for professional decorations.
• Nail Accessories: tools and supports for organising and completing salon work.

How to choose the right products

Start with the treatment you need to perform. Gel polish, reinforcement, nail extensions and nail art require different products and protocols.

1. Identify the service: gel polish, overlay, refill, extension or decoration.
2. Assess the natural nail and the level of adhesion required.
3. Choose bases, gels and finishes that are compatible with one another.
4. Always check the instructions on the individual product page.
5. Follow the stated quantities, curing times and application method.

Products for gel polish

A gel polish manicure normally requires correct preparation of the nail plate, a compatible base, colour and Top Coat. The right base depends on the characteristics of the natural nail and the desired result.

Explore our Nail Prep Products and the guide on how to choose the right gel polish base.

Products for nail extensions

For overlays, refills and extensions, choose among builder gels with different densities and working characteristics. The product should be selected according to the technique, length and working speed of the nail technician.

Compare the options in our Builder Gel collection.

Products for nail art

Professional nail art can use pigmented gels, glitter, stamping, brushes and accessories. Each technique requires suitable tools and a correctly prepared surface.

See the page dedicated to nail art techniques.

Mistakes to avoid

• Choosing products only by colour or packaging.
• Combining products without checking compatibility.
• Using a base or gel that is not suited to the natural nail.
• Applying excessive amounts of product.
• Ignoring the required curing times.
• Using professional products without knowing the relevant protocol.
