Pro Nail Cutter

Esmio One Step Gel lasts from 7-14 days for manicures and 3-4 weeks for pedicures. If you find your One Step Gel Polish is not lasting as long, please review how you prep your nails and ensure you are applying thin coats between curing.

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!

Base and top coats are completely optional! Our gel colours will not stain or damage your natural nails even without a base coat. Esmio gel has been created to leave a shine after each coat. Allowing you to end your nail application after any coat. The colours do not leave a sticky surface between coats so they is not need to wipe with rubbing alcohol at the end!

However we have included some optional base and top coats which we designed to fulfil the individual needs of every women.

Yes! Esmio Australia can confirm that the raw materials used and the finish products have not been subject to any animal testing and are in fact cruelty free.

We recommend you use our cuticle softener to soften your cuticles then push them back with our cuticle pusher. This can be purchased via the tools section on the main menu of our website. Remember not to paint over your cuticles as it will lift up your manicure when your nails start to grow. Do not moisturise your cuticles until after your manicure as it will leave an oily residue causing your manicure not last as long. Use the esmio cuticle oil at the very end of your manicure as it promotes circulation around nails and growth. It protects and ensures nails remain healthy.

We recommend a light buff before applying any esmio gel products to remove any natural oils that may have built up. Use our strong hold bond to dehydrate your nails and remove any oil.

If your nails still have a sticky surface after your final colour coat and/or top coat you may have been applying your polish on too thick. Put your hand under the lamp for a further 60 seconds and remember to apply thinner coats next time. Please note that thicker coats will result in premature chipping.

Not at all! We have designed our coloured gels and top coat to be all no wipe. We recognise the beauty in convenience so we didn’t want to add an unnecessary step to your nail routine. You can even apply 1 coat of colour, stop painting your nails for a while and come back to it after. Each coat leaves a shiny, tack free surface!
