Dreaming of a shiny, long-lasting manicure that’s gentle on your nails? DIY Gel Polish kits have revolutionized the nail care routine for beauty lovers. Forget endless salon trips – now you can enjoy a professional gel manicure at home, in total comfort. But how do you pick the best Gel Polish kit? And why do so many of you swear by the Green Flash™ kit as your ultimate must-have? Here’s everything you need to know.
How to recognize a great DIY Gel Polish kit?
A good Gel Polish kit isn’t just a pretty box: it’s a well-thought-out set that combines performance, safety and ease of use. Here are the 3 key things to look out for:
✅ A plant-based, high-performance formula
To meet the new expectations of nail care fans, next-generation Gel Polishes must be:
- Plant-based: meaning synthetic petrochemical ingredients are replaced as much as possible with renewable, plant-derived alternatives.
- Vegan: in other words, the formula contains no animal-derived ingredients.
All of this, without compromising on shine or staying power. Because yes, you can have plant-based polish with serious glamour!
The perfect Gel Polish kit? Plant-based and high-performing.
✅ A complete and customizable kit
A top-notch Gel Polish kit should include all the essentials for an easy application and gentle removal:
- A base coat, a top coat and one or several colors of polish.
- A UV or LED lamp to cure the polish effectively.
- A gentle remover and a set of removal clips.
- Bonus tools for perfect nail prep: nail file, cuticle remover, cuticle pusher, corrector pen… all the little extras that elevate your at-home manicure.
At Manucurist, Green Flash™ kits come with 1, 3 or 5 colors you can choose according to your style.
All-in-one, the Green Flash™ Gel Polish kit adapts to your every mood.
✅ Easy application, pro-like results
The main goal of a Gel Polish kit? To help you achieve a flawless manicure at home, even if you’re not a pro. It should guarantee:
- Easy, intuitive application.
- Fast curing under UV or LED lamp.
- High-shine, streak-free finish.
- Long-lasting wear with no chipping.
