Hello Nails, semi-cured gel wraps for at-home manicures

Hello Nails is a British nail cosmetics brand founded and run by its creator, Therese. The company sells semi-cured gel nail wraps and stick-on nail polish for hands and feet, presented as an alternative to salon gel manicures. The proposition is based on at-home application in minutes, no drying time, and a wear of up to three weeks depending on the product type.

Product range

The shop organises its offering into several families. Semi-cured gel (UV) wraps are divided into solid, patterned, French tip, cat eye, floral and glitter finishes, and include specific styles for toes and matching hand and toe sets. Non-UV gel wraps form a separate line, with a version for kids. The range is completed with lamps, top coats and nail care products, as well as gift cards and bundles.

• Semi-cured gel (UV) wraps for hands, with a stated wear of up to 21 days.
• Semi-cured gel (UV) wraps for toes, with the same stated wear.
• Non-UV nail polish wraps, with a stated wear of up to 14 days.
• Non-UV wraps for kids.
• Matching hand and toe sets.
• Lamps, top coats and nail care items.
• Starter kits and build-your-own bundles.
• Gift cards.

The site states that the company has sold over 100,000 sets and has more than 18,000 verified customers. The range includes over 100 designs, with prices from £14.99, and shipping is free in the UK on orders over £40.

How to apply

Application is described in three steps: peel, stick and trim the wrap to fit the nail, cure it under a UV lamp — a step skipped for the non-UV line — and get a glossy, salon-like finish. The company publishes specific guides for semi-cured gel wraps, non-UV gel wraps and kids' wraps, as well as sizing charts and a comparison article on BIAB gel vs semi-cured gel wraps.

Formulation and guarantees

The products are presented as HEMA and TPO free, with no ingredients tested on animals and fully recyclable postal packaging. The brand requires no subscription and offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. The founder notes that every set is tested on her own hands first and that only products she uses herself are sold.
