Keep your nails healthy and stylish with our collection, part of our wider Health & Beauty and Health Care ranges. Nail polish works by applying a film-forming layer to the nail plate — a base coat first to strengthen and protect, colour on top, and a top coat to seal it all in and prevent chipping. Whether you prefer traditional lacquer that dries naturally, or gel polish cured under UV/LED light for up to two weeks of wear, our range covers every format. Explore nail polishes, gel colours, and protective base and top coats for long-lasting shine, alongside manicure and pedicure kits that make nail care easy at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our nail art & tools range

What's the difference between acrylic and gel nails?
Acrylic nails are made from a liquid monomer and polymer powder mixture that dries naturally in the air, while gel nails use a gel-based formula that requires curing under a UV or LED lamp to harden. Both offer more durability than traditional polish, though application and removal differ slightly between the two.
How long does gel polish last compared to regular nail polish?
Regular nail polish typically lasts two to seven days before chipping, while gel polish can last up to two weeks with proper application, thanks to the way it cures and cross-links under UV or LED light.
What's the safest way to remove gel or acrylic nail polish?
Gel and acrylic polish is usually removed by soaking the nails in pure acetone for five to fifteen minutes, depending on the formula, rather than peeling or scraping, which can damage the natural nail underneath.
Do I need a base coat and top coat every time?
Yes, using both is recommended — a base coat protects the nail and helps polish adhere evenly, while a top coat seals in colour, adds shine, and helps prevent chipping and premature peeling.
Are press-on nails a good option for damaged or brittle nails?
Yes, press-on nails are often considered gentler than gel or acrylic for people with brittle nails, as they act as a protective shield over the natural nail while it grows and strengthens underneath.
What tools do I need for a basic at-home manicure?
A basic manicure kit should include nail clippers, a file, a buffer, and a cuticle pusher or trimmer, along with a base coat, your chosen colour, and a top coat to finish.
