Gel Tips 21FREE Starter Kit • The Gel Collection

Our newly developed Gel Tips System features full-coverage, pre-cured gel tips that give you length, shape and a salon-like build in just a few steps.

The tips are placed on top of your own nail with our UV-curing Tip Gel and quickly "locked" in place with the SnapCure lamp. This makes application easier, more precise and more controlled — even when you do them at home.

The tips themselves are ultra-thin, flexible and strong, so the result feels light and natural rather than thick or artificial. They are designed with a salon-shaped curve that sits beautifully from cuticle to tip, and the ultra-thin transition at the cuticle gives a more invisible result.

On the inside, the tips are pre-filed for better adhesion, so you don't have to file the underside yourself. The discreet guideline helps you place the tip correctly on the nail for a more consistent result.

When your nails grow out, you don't necessarily have to remove the whole set. You can infill with Tip Gel (or one of your other preferred gels) and extend the wear without starting over.

How to apply Gel Tips – step by step

Gel Tips are pre-shaped extensions cured in place with Tip Gel – salon length in one evening.

This kit is used in every step

1. Find the right tip size – the edges should line up with your natural nail. File the sides and cuticle area if needed, and note the sizes.
2. File the inside, and clean – roughen the area that sits on the nail, and clean with cleaner (some tips come pre-roughened).
3. 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 →
4. Base coat – a very thin layer, seal the free edge, and cure the whole hand in the lamp.
5. Apply and fix the tips with Tip Gel (UV-curing) – a small bead of Tip Gel in the centre of the tip – it cures in the UV lamp – press it on at a slight angle from the cuticle outwards so no air gets trapped. Cure with the mini lamp, then fully cure in the large lamp.
6. File the tip (if needed) – and roughen the surface, clean with cleaner.
7. Gel Polish colour – two thin coats, cure between coats.
8. Top coat – seal the free edge, and cure.
9. Nail oil – wash your hands and finish with oil at the cuticles and under the nail.
