No way! You won’t find parabens in our gels.
The nails are still sticky after curing under the lamp…
That’s fine – they are supposed to be tacky after every coat to stick the layers together, the wiping with cleanser after the final coat will remove the stickiness or use our amazing Diamond Top Coat as last step which is non wipe.
No. You cannot use our gels outside as exposure to sunlight will make the gel polish starts to set. You need to apply it indoors. For the same reason, don’t apply right next to an open window/door.
No, the base coat is only to be applied as one coat. Builder gel and base coat are two very different products.
The answer is yes; you can safely wear an artificial nail coating including those that extend the length of the natural nail! The nail plate is inherently difficult to penetrate and IDOGEL coating hardens within minutes, eliminating the chance for penetration beyond the top layers of the nail plate. Plus are formula is thirteen free that mean it doesn’t contain the common toxic ingredients found in many varnishes.

Yes. Shaking the bottle helps to thin the viscosity of the gel polish, making it easier to apply and helping to spread the polish evenly. Our gels have a friendly reminder in the back of the bottle.
LED lamps use technology that’s similar but more efficient to UV lamps.
LED nail curing lamps set Gel Polish in under half the time of UV lamps. They don’t generate heat or emit UVAs or UVBs, and you don’t need to replace the bulbs like you do with UV lamps.
As I DO GEL is light cured, we cannot put it in a clear bottle. Every effort is made to ensure that all our product imagery is as accurate as possible. Due to colour/resolution settings on screen and printing, the colours can differ slightly from the physical product.
