If you told me a year ago that at-home gel polish systems could win in a challenge against the nail salon, I would’ve dubbed this a skill issue. As a beauty editor, I’ve tried them all – and the fact is, either they chip away from the get-go, or they suck.

So, when our fave vegan nail polish brand, Earthy Nail Polish, suggested we review their new Gel Lock System, I felt renewed hope. They’re at the top of their game when it comes to polish. If any brand could pull off this mani-focused miracle, it’s Earthy Nail Polish.

What Are Gel Nails?

 

A gel manicure uses a lacquering process similar to the age-old traditional nail polish manicure but comes with one big difference. Once painted onto the nail, the gel polish is dried (cured) under a UV or LED lamp. This takes under a minute and achieves a much-loved glossy mani that lasts between 10 days to 3 weeks. Furthermore, the gel nail can take quite a hammering before it chips away.

Earthy Vs. The Nail Salon

Cost

There’s no denying a nail salon achieves great gel nail results that will see you through the most demanding occasions for a few weeks. However, they come at a higher cost (around £35), which means a trek to the salon and back, and then again for removal. Also, depending on the products used (and how much you love a gel mani), it may damage your nails.

Earthy’s Gel Lock technology boasts an improved way to achieve an at-home salon manicure with their award-winning, nourishing and plant-based Earthy Nail Polish. This kit is a smart investment, priced at just £59.99.

Durability

 

It offers everything you need for a healthier gel mani. The results last around 10 -14 days, but the beauty of having the entire kit close to hand means touch-ups are not an issue. 

Safety

There has been some speculation over the safety of using UV lamps. Earthy’s 100% post-consumer plastic LED lamp bypasses this safety concern.

Like a nail salon, Earthy Nails Gel Lock System dries your manicure in 60 seconds, locking in the high shine.  

Removal

The main worry posed by gel nails comes with improper polish removal. Earthy’s vegan, HEMA-free Gel Lock ensures seamless gel polish removal in minutes. Furthermore, their high calcium and magnesium formula provides optimal nail nourishment.
