About Halo Gel Nails

Part of the Pure Nails company, Halo Gel polish is a favourite brand of nail technicians across the globe. Loved for its professional finish, its long-wearing formula offers a high-quality, chip and peel-free finish and a patent shine for up to 14 days. 

Offering a highly-pigmented colour depth, Halo Gel Polish is also easy to apply and remove without the risk of any damage occurring to the natural nail. 

Available in a wide spectrum of colours regularly updated to include seasonal trends, it's clear why Halo Gels are loved by nail technicians and clients alike!

One of the best things about Halo Gel polish is its easy application! Here are our top tips on how to apply yours:

1. Start by preparing the natural nail for application by prepping the cuticles, filing and shaping the nails and then buffing the nail's surface to remove the surface shine. Don't forget to remove the shine at the sidewalls and around the cuticle.

2. Clean the nail's surface with Halo's Prep and Scrub to remove dirt and oils.

3. Apply a fine layer of Halo's Base Coat to the nail to seal the nail's free edge.

4. Cure the nails for around 60 seconds (under a 12W LED lamp) or 120 seconds (under a 36W UV lamp) to seal the base.

5. Apply a thin layer of Halo Gel polish to the nails and repeat the curing process.

6. Apply your second layer of gel polish and repeat the curing steps.

7. To finish, apply a layer of Halo Top Coat and cure.

8. After about 5 seconds, take a lint-free wipe and some gel cleanser and wipe away the top coat's sticky layer.

9. Apply some cuticle oil to finish - then your gel manicure is complete!

Following the same theme, Halo Gel Polish is really simple to remove and, if removed correctly, will leave your natural nails completely damage-free. 

Here's how to remove Halo Gel polish:

1. Start by buffing the shine away from the top surface of the gel polish with a nail buffer.

2. Soak a lint-free wipe with acetone remover and wrap it around your nail. Then, wrap the nail with nail foil.

3. Leave the nail wrapped for five to seven minutes.

4. Remove the foil, then slide away any excess gel polish on the nail's surface with a manicure stick. Gel's removed safely in just a few minutes!

Halo Gel Polish is known for its long-lasting, high-pigmented shine! If applied correctly, using the steps above and cured under a UV or LED lamp, your Halo Gel polish should be peel and chip-free for up to 14 days!

Absolutely! Halo Gel Polish doesn't contain any animal by-products or animal-derived ingredients, making it vegan-friendly and completely cruelty-free for guilt-free, gorgeous nails every time!
