253 Secret Smile is a delicate, translucent pink sheen with light in the tone — like a smile you're trying to hold back. Builds up in layers from a hint to unmistakable joy.

It's the secret that shows at the corner of your mouth. And on your nails.

About our Gel Polish

Gel Polish is a UV/LED-curing gel colour that gives you glossy, long-lasting colour for up to three weeks. It can be used on your natural nails as a classic Gel Polish manicure, or on top of a reinforcement or extension when you want extra strength, shape or length.

Our innovative 21FREE+ Gel Polish formula from The Gel Collection combines intense pigmentation with a full, creamy consistency that gives you calm, control and precision during application. The formula spreads evenly across the nail without running into the edges, making it easier to create a smooth, even and professional look.

The optimised pigmentation gives the colours beautiful depth and even coverage. The Full Cover shades are built up with two thin layers, while the transparent colours are deliberately designed for a lighter, more sheer look. The Ultra Cover shades have extra high coverage, so the nail tip doesn't turn translucent against the light — perfect for Gel Tip extensions, for example.

In the top of the cap you'll find real Gel Polish, so you can easily see the actual colour in the bottle and quickly find the right shade in your collection.

The specially developed brush has ultra-fine, elastic fibres and a slightly curved brush head that follows the natural shape of the nail. That makes it easier to work close to the cuticle and create a smooth, precise finish with fewer visible brush marks.

The formula is also developed without the ingredients that typically evaporate and contribute most to the sharp smell. The scent is therefore milder, while the gel better keeps its full, creamy consistency throughout the life of the bottle.

It's the colour you notice first. But it's the feeling of control, the creamy consistency and the beautiful result that make you come back.

Why you'll love it

  • Full, creamy consistency that gives you calm and control during application.
  • Optimised pigmentation that creates deep, even, uniform colour.
  • Controlled formula that stays where you place it without running into the edges.
  • Specially developed brush with ultra-fine fibres that makes precise application easier.
  • Improved durability and a stronger, more robust result.
  • Real colour in the top of the cap, so you can easily see the actual colour in the bottle.
  • A large colour universe with shades, finishes and effects for every look.
  • Developed without HEMA and TPO as part of the 21FREE+ universe.

Curing times

To get both long wear and a safe experience, it is important that the product cures correctly. Our products are carefully tested with our own UV lamps at the following curing times:

If you use a lamp from another brand, we unfortunately cannot promise the same correct curing – and that can affect both durability and safety. You can read more about why here.

Get the most out of your nail products by taking the time to watch our video guides. There you will find step-by-step guides and everything you need to know about theory and techniques. When you follow the guidance, you protect your nails and secure long wear at the same time.

Which starter package should I choose?

Gel Polish starter pack:

Gel Polish gives a beautiful color and shine to the nails and lasts for 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, must harden under UV light to dry. When applying Gel Polish, your nail gets a little extra strength from our special Hard Base Coat.

Gel Polish is therefore for you who do not want a reinforcement, but simply to get a nice and durable color on the nails. We do not recommend that you top up the Gel Polish, but that you take off every 3 weeks when you need renewal. If you want to be able to make a top-up, we recommend that you use a Rubber Base underneath your Gel Polish. You can see how to use Gel Polish here .


Rubber Base starter pack:


Rubber Base gives reinforcement to the natural nails. It can be used as a reinforcing base under Gel Polish color or used alone as a beautiful natural reinforcement. The consistency is relatively liquid and must be "slid" onto the nail at a fast pace. Rubber Base is particularly suitable for flaking, brittle, thin or split nails. In addition, the Rubber Base is designed to provide extra strength, which makes it good for providing a light reinforcement.

Rubber Base comes in a bottle and can be applied in the same way as the classic base coat, or build up the nail with a small apex for more strength. The advantage of this product is that it can be removed with Fast Acetone Remover & Soak Off Wraps (You can see how here ) if full removal is desired. Remember that you don't need to remove the Rubber Base every time, but you can simply fill it up when you need to. You can see on the link here how to make a correct filling


Polygel starter pack:


Polygel is perfect for both lengthening and strengthening your own nails, where the nail is built up from the ground up. Polygel is quite thick in consistency and must be modulated on the nail - a bit like modeling wax. It is good for beginners, as it is not liquid and therefore does not slide into e.g. cuticles. Polygel comes in a tube and is applied with a separate brush and Cleaner+. By using Polygel, you can easily make a top-up when you need to. You therefore do not need to remove the product every time you think your nails need renewal. You can see how to use Polygel correctly here .


Liquid Builder starter kit:


Liquid Builder is a Gel in a bottle, perfect for both short extensions up to 0.5 cm. It comes in a bottle with a brush for easy application. While specific instructions for Liquid Builder Gel are not yet
available, the Rubber Base and Builder Gel instructions can be used as a reference. Liquid Builder Gel offers a choice of colors and can be used alone or as a strengthening layer under Gel Polish. Refilling is recommended every three weeks for maintenance, you can see here how to fulfill
correct.


Builder Gel starter pack:


Builder Gel is ideal for strengthening and extending natural nails, usable with templates or tips. It serves both as a reinforcement under Gel Polish or as an independent strengthening treatment. With its thick consistency, it is best applied with an Oval Brush to create the correct nail shape. Filling is possible without full removal, which makes maintenance easier. See instructions for use and refilling here .


Soft Gel Press On starter pack:

Soft Gel Press On Tipper provides a fast and durable nail extension without the need for advanced techniques. These tips are made from pre-cured gel so they already have the ideal shape and length for easy use, especially for beginners. When using Press On Tipper, full removal is recommended when renewing, but they can also be applied with Polygel for the possibility of filling. You can see how to put them on here .

What does 21FREE mean?

All products from The Gel Collection are based on our 21free concept, which excludes 21 types of potentially harmful ingredients. Despite the fact that the ingredients are still legal, they can have an inappropriate effect on the human body and the environment, which is why it is important for us to avoid them in our products anyway.

You can read more about our 21FREE concept here.

How long do the products last?

Although we have removed many chemicals in our products, we have not compromised on quality and durability.

If you use a Gel Polish, it will last for approx. 3 weeks. Do you use a product for extension, e.g. Press On Tipper, they will last up to 6 weeks.

Here are the short facts about our Gel Polish:

• Developed without the use of 21 types of harmful and unwanted chemistry
• Added minerals for increased durability and strength
• Easily soluble form that ensures gentle removal
• Vegan and free of palm oil
• Developed and manufactured to strict European standards
• Durability of up to 3 weeks for our Gel Polish

How do I purchase my products?

All products from The Gel Collection can be easily removed by dissolving with our Fast Acetone Remover. We have developed an easily soluble formula to ensure a gentle removal method, regardless of which product you use.

When it comes to Gel Polish, it is often necessary to remove the product every 2-3 times. week, especially if you want to change color or experience lifting in the product. If you use a reinforcement product such as Rubber Base, Polygel, Liquid Builder or Builder Gel, it is not actually necessary to remove it. Nails are made up of dead skin cells and do not need oxygen, so it is always recommended to do top-ups on strengthening products rather than removing them completely.

If you still want to remove all the product, as mentioned, this can be dissolved in Fast Acetone Remover, where it requires that you have filed off 80-90% of the product before the soak-off process begins.

To learn more about how to take off correctly, you can consult our step-by-step guide in the theory book or watch our video guides in the learning universe here.
