The first-brush in a bottle gel polish ever invented and the most trusted Gel Polish manicure system worldwide.

New from Hand & Nail Harmony comes Gelish Color Gels. The gels come in an array of nail polish colors, apply like polish, with twist cap and applicator, but are cured in a LED lamp in 30 seconds or in two minutes in traditional UV lamps, just like gels. Gelish stays on nails for three weeks with no chipping or peeling, and soak completely off in only 15 minutes.

The 2011 Nail Indsutry Trend Watch, by  Nails Magazine USA, identified Brush-On Gel Polish as both the no 1 and no 2 trend: The new crop of brush-on Gel-Polish lines is the single biggest trend we have seen in several years.  At least 64% of nail techs added this service in the USA in 2010.  It goes on like polish (with a polish-like brush out of a polish-like bottle with a thinner viscosity than most soak-off gels) and cures like a gel.

SHAKE IT, BABY!
Samba on over, grab your maracas and feast your eyes on this parade: glorious new Gelish neon’s, bursting brighter than a carnival dancer’s tail feathers. It’s a festival of polishes to reveal in, all no-chip, no-smudge, long-lasting Gelish colour, a picture-perfect, super-glossy finish from Day 1 through Day 21.

QUESTION:  Does wearing nail polish cause any chemical damage to the natural nail?
ANSWER:  This system uses only a pH balancing agent to stabilize the moisture level of the nail.  Then the FOUNDATION Gel has adhesive properties that attract  to the keratin in the natural nail, not causing any depletion, only acting as a 2 sided tape to adhere the STRUCTURE or the GELISH Gel Polish to the nail itself.
