Gel Polish
Gel Polish
Quick choice: this collection is designed for salon professionals looking for highly pigmented, glossy gel polishes that are easy to pair with bases, gels, acrygel and top coats. You are not simply choosing “a colour”: you are choosing the right colour for the service, finish and final result your client expects.
How to choose the right gel polish
For a natural, clean manicure, start with nude, milky and sheer pink shades. For elegant, intense looks, choose reds, burgundy, wine shades and black. For nail art, French manicures, decorations and graphic details, always keep white, black and highly pigmented colours at your workstation. For professional durability, pair the colour with a suitable gel polish base and seal it with a glossy, matte or no-wipe top coat.
Essential colours to keep in the salon
- Black C103: a full black for nail art, contrasts and bold minimalist looks.
- White Ice C1: an essential white for French manicures, baby boomer looks and decorations.
- Burgundy C63: an elegant burgundy for dark and seasonal manicures.
- Red C55: a classic red that is always in demand in the salon.
- Milky Dream ES01 and Nude Obsession ES03: perfect for clean nails, natural bases and bridal looks.
Why choose professional gel polish
For even curing of colour, base and top coat, use a compatible UV LED nail lamp and follow the curing times indicated for the product.
A professional gel polish should be highly pigmented, stable during application and compatible with a nail technician’s workflow: preparation, base, colour, curing, sealing and removal. The difference is especially noticeable in coverage, the shine of the finish and resistance to scratches and chipping.
FAQ
How long does gel polish last?
With correct preparation, a suitable base and a professional top coat, a gel polish manicure can last several weeks while maintaining its colour and shine.
Do I always need a base?
Yes. The base helps with adhesion, durability and protection of the natural nail. The right choice depends on the type of nail plate and the desired result.
What is the difference between gel polish and builder gel?
Gel polish is mainly designed for colour and coverage. Gel is used to create structure, reinforcement and extensions. In the salon they are often used together: a gel structure with gel polish colour applied on top.
