We’re very excited to introduce a slice of brand-new Nails.INC innovation. Meet: Paint The Rainbow! The first of its kind and the first time that we’ve ventured into gel nail polish, this is the ultimate gel pen kit. It allows you to customise colours for your own DIY at-home gel manicure.

Like an artist’s palette for your nails, there are more than 250 unique colours to create with Paint The Rainbow, so bring out your artistic side!

How to get started? When you’ve got your Paint The Rainbow kit, scan the unique QR code on the box to find out more. It’ll take you to this page, where you’ll find a whole library of unique colour combos to tap into, right there in your hand (and phone)! Voila – it’s that easy!

What you get inside the set:

5x Colour mixing nail polishes with various pump settings to release the perfect amount of polish, ready for mixing

1x Base coat

1 x Top coat

2x Mixing palettes

2x Nail/mixing brushes

How it works:

Nail Prep

1. Make sure you wash and dry hands before use to ensure nails are clean and free of oils.

2. Gently push back your cuticles to make room for the gel!

3. Use a nail file or emery board to shape the front tip or free edge of your natural nail.

4. Lightly buff the top of your nail to remove shine.

Colour selection and mixing:

1. Open up your Paint The Rainbow box to reveal your kit, then scan the QR code with your phone camera and follow the link to reveal the colour library.

2. Select the shade you want to paint, then follow the instructions to select the base shades and number of pumps.

3. Twist the cap to select the amount of polish, then pump the correct amount of the shades into the palette.

4. Mix it up with the included mixing palette and mixing brush.

5. Top Tip! Make sure your mixed gel colour is away from the lamp at all times when curing, otherwise it could cure on the palette.

Base Coat

1. After prepping the nails, apply a thin coat of Gel Base Coat from the cuticles to the free edge and seal the edge of each nail.

2. If you apply to the cuticle or surrounding skin area, wipe off immediately before curing with a little acetone.

3. Place your fingers under an LED or UV lamp (not included in this set) and cure for 60 seconds. The Gel Base Coat will remain slightly tacky.

Colour application

1. Paint a thin layer of your newly mixed colour onto your nails from the cuticles to the free edge, and seal the edge of each nail.

2. As before, if you apply to the cuticle or surrounding skin area, wipe off immediately before curing with a little acetone.

3. Place fingers under an LED or UV lamp (not included in this set) and cure for 60 seconds. Colour will be somewhat translucent after 1st coat.

4. Repeat this step for 2-3 coats depending on your opacity preference.

Top Coat

1. Apply a thin coat of Gel Top Coat from the cuticles to the free-edge and seal the edge of each nail.

2. If you apply to the cuticle or surrounding skin area, wipe off immediately before curing with a little acetone.

3. Place fingers an LED or UV lamp (not included in this set) and cure for 60 seconds.

4. No need to wipe the top coat – it won’t be tacky!

Aftercare

1. Don’t forget to clean your brush and palette with nail polish remover/ pour nail polish remover on cotton pad and whirl brush around to remove unwanted gel polish – so it’s clean and fresh for next time!

2. Use Nails.INC cuticle oil (we love Superfood Repair Oil) to hydrate cuticles.

Removal

1. When you’re ready to remove your gel manicure, break the top coat seal by gently buffing the surface of your nails with a nail file or emery board.

2. Pour out a small bowl of acetone and soak the gel manicure in the bowl for 10-15 minutes.

3. Gently scrape/ buff away any remaining gel. Be careful not to press hard onto the nail.

4. Revitalize nails with Nails.INC Superfood Repair Oil.
