HEMA & TPO-Free Gel Formula

Create watercolour, marble, tie-dye, tortoiseshell, and endless other unique designs with Gelous Blooming Gel. Simply apply, swirl your chosen colours on top, and watch the design bloom outwards in real time.

  1. Prep and dehydrate your nails.
    Optionally, apply pH Bond and Nail Primer.
  2. Apply Base Coat and cure under the Gel Nail Lamp.
    Optionally, apply Builder Gel.
  3. If you’d like a coloured layer beneath your nail art, apply 1–3 thin coats of your chosen Colour Coat, curing each coat under the Gel Nail Lamp.
  4. Apply a thin, even coat of Blooming Gel over the entire nail, and leave uncured.
  5. Dip your Dotting Tool or Nail Art Brush into your chosen Colour Coat and paint your design on the uncured Blooming Gel.
  6. Let the design bloom for 5–20 seconds, then cure under the Gel Nail Lamp.
  7. Apply Top Coat and cure under the Gel Nail Lamp.
  8. Apply Cuticle Oil.

For more detailed guidance, visit our How to Apply page or watch our Blooming Gel tutorials on YouTube.

HEMA and TPO are two ingredients commonly found in traditional gel systems for adhesion and curing. Our HEMA & TPO-free formula is a next-generation gel that delivers the same long-lasting wear, shine, and colour payoff you know and love, without these ingredients.

We are gradually transitioning our range to this formula as part of our ongoing evolution as a brand.

Both our original and HEMA & TPO-Free formulas meet all current standards when used as directed.

You can read more about our formula transition in our blog.

    Easy to use

    The blooming gel is so fun and easy to use. One swipe, add some polish and boom. Very good to make flower and crocodile print designs.

    However with the design of the bottles they tend to flood which leads to Polish around the rim and if left unattended seals the bottle closed.
