the first at-home gel polish with natural removal

Formulated to deliver 21 days of wear, this three-step gel polish combines its long wear with offering gentle care for the nails, while being easy to remove with water and oil. The system is applied like a traditional gel system, with a base coat, color, and then top coat, and is cured under an LED lamp. This forms a true gel film that offers durability, color intensity, and a smooth, glossy finish. Yet unlike conventional gel polish, the product does not contain HEMA, DI-HEMA, or TPO, and can be removed using warm soapy water, oil, and a wood stick, with no acetone needed. The polish lasts for up to 21 days, and on average offers 15 days of wear.
