Gel Polish 21FREE Starter Kit

If you are completely new to doing your nails at home, it can be difficult to figure out which products you need and how to use them. That's why we have made it our mission to make it easy and safe for you to get started.

Gel Polish gives a beautiful color and shine to the nails and lasts up to three weeks. It can best be described as a hybrid between a classic nail polish and a gel, which unlike classic nail polish needs to cure under UV light to dry. When applying Gel Polish, your nail gets a little extra strength from our special Hard Base Coat that is included.

The starter kit contains:
• SmartFold UV/LED lamp
• The Gel Guide*
• Hard Base Coat
• Top Coat No Wipe
• Gel Polish 252 Voice Note
• Cleaner+ 50ml
• Premium Nail File 100/180
• Premium Buffer 100/180
• Primer 21FREE+
• Lint-free wipes (200 pcs)
• Cuticle oil
• Cuticle pusher
• Cuticle clipper

* You'll also receive The Gel Guide – a thorough and beginner-friendly guide that makes it easy to get started with DIY nails.
It includes an introduction to our starter kits, basic nail theory, product overviews, and visual step-by-step guides that show you exactly how to create beautiful results at home.
The guide also explains how gel products work – so you'll understand both the technique and the science behind them.

Remember to purchase your optional Gel Polish colors if you want a specific color in addition to the transparent Hard Base Coat and Top Coat No Wipe.

Also remember to purchase a Gel polish removal kit if you're using gel polish without any strengthening layer underneath.

How to apply Gel Polish – step by step

This routine is a classic Gel Polish manicure from start to finish – from prep to cuticle oil.

This kit is used in every step

1. Prep – file length and shape, push back the cuticles, buff the surface lightly, clean with cleaner and apply primer (air-dries in 60 sec.). Watch the prep video guide →
2. Base coat – a very thin layer, seal the free edge, and cure the whole hand in the lamp.
3. First coat of Gel Polish – thin layer: place a small bead in the centre of the nail, push it towards the cuticle, pull it down and out to the sides, seal the tip and cure. If it doesn't cover completely, that's perfectly normal.
4. Second coat of Gel Polish – the same way as the first, and cure.
5. Top coat – seal the free edge, and cure.
6. Nail oil – wash your hands and finish with oil at the cuticles and under the nail.
