Glazed Nails Starter Kit

APPLICATION

1. For the perfect nail prep, please ensure you have read and followed our detailed ‘How To’ guide under ‘Nail Preparation’ HERE.

2. Gently roll your One Step Gel Polish bottle between your palms to thoroughly blend the formula.

3. Apply a fine layer of our One Step Gel Polish onto the nails, ensuring meticulous coverage. Cure the polish for 60 seconds under our nail lamp. Maintain a slight distance from the cuticle and nail edges to prevent any polish from contacting the skin, thus ensuring a pristine finish. Repeat the application process until achieving the desired opacity.

4. Apply Cuticle Oil to your cuticles and massage into your skin for a salon finish mani!

REMOVAL

1. Begin by gently buffing the shine off your One Step Gel Polish using our 100/180 Grit File or our Hard Buffer.

2. Apply two coats of our One Step Gel Remover onto the buffed nails, ensuring careful application to avoid contact with the skin. Allow 30 seconds between each coat.

3. Allow 3-5 minutes for our One Step Gel Remover to effectively penetrate the One Step Gel Polish. Sensations of slight tightness indicate the lifting of the polish from the nails, which is a normal occurrence.

4. Once the One Step Gel Polish becomes flaky, utilise our Pro Scraper Tool to remove the gel polish from your nails.

5. If any excess One Step Gel Polish remains, repeat the aforementioned process.

6. Use our Soft Buffer Block to delicately eliminate any residual residue.

7. Give your hands a wash, and you are ready for your next manicure!

For gel storage: Store your One Step Gel polish upright in a cool, dry, dark place. Seal caps tightly, clean bottle necks after use, and avoid heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to maintain consistency and prevent clumping. For best quality, use within 12 months of opening.

What does 12-Free mean? It means that we are not using the 12 most harmful chemical ingredients commonly found in other gel polish lines.

Esmio gel polish does not contain:

Formaldehyde - Formaldehyde is primarily used in gel polish as a hardening agent. It is a known carcinogen and can lead to skin irritation, allergic responses, and has been associated with the development of nasal and lung cancers.

Toluene - That familiar, nostalgic yet potent scent emanating from certain nail polishes is attributed to Toluene. This compound plays a crucial role in ensuring the even distribution of color pigments, resulting in a flawless finish upon application. However, Toluene's exposure has been associated with adverse effects on the nervous system, including headaches, nausea, and eye irritation. Most significantly, it has been linked to the risk of birth defects.

Dibutyl Phthalate (DBT) - DBP functions as both a plasticizer and solvent in nail polish formulations, enhancing flexibility and reducing the likelihood of chipping. However, absorption of this chemical through the skin has been associated with reproductive problems, birth defects, and fertility issues.

Camphor - Synthetic camphor is used to achieve a highly glossy appearance, however prolonged exposure may result in symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and headaches.

Formaldehyde Resin - Formaldehyde Resin serves as a nail hardening agent. However, it may provoke skin irritation and pose toxicity risks to the immune system.

Xylene - Xylene is utilized to thin nail polish, preventing it from becoming excessively clumpy. It is commonly found in the production of cement and gasoline. Due to its potent fumes, excessive exposure or skin absorption can potentially harm the renal system, liver, and kidneys.

Parabens - Parabens are used widely in the cosmetic industry as a preservative. Due to the estrogen mimicking effects it has been linked to hormonal abnormalities.

Fragrances - Fragrances are incorporated into polish to impart specific scents. Yet, they typically consist of proprietary blends of various components, which may induce skin irritations like redness, itching, hives, and exacerbate eczema.

Phthalates - Phthalates are employed to impart flexibility to products, allowing them to bend in a desired manner. However, these chemicals have been associated with certain types of cancer.

Ethyl Tosylamide - Ethyl Tosylamide serves as a chemical in nail polish, functioning as both a plasticizer and film-forming agent. Its role is to improve the polish's flexibility and durability, thereby contributing to extended manicure longevity.

Triphenyl Phosphate (TPHP) - Triphenyl Phosphate is commonly present in nail polish as both a plasticizer and flame retardant. While it can increase the flexibility of nail polish, concerns regarding its potential side effects have been raised due to health implications.

Hema – Hema is a commonly used ingredient in the nail polish industry and serves to provide adhesion and durability. Prolonged exposure to uncured HEMA products is linked to causing irritation and allergic reactions.
