The right tools are essential when you want to create a beautiful, long-lasting nail look with Gel Polish, Builder Gel or Polygel. Here you’ll find a wide selection of nail tools that help you with everything from preparation and application to beautiful Nail Art designs and gentle removal.
Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, the right tools make the process easier and the result even better.
Prepare your nails thoroughly
Good preparation is the key to a long-lasting result. With the right tools, you can make sure your nails are clean, shaped and ready for Gel Polish.
Which tools help prepare your nails thoroughly before applying Gel Polish?
For thorough preparation of your natural nails, you’ll need several tools:
-
Nail files: For example, use a 100/180 or 180/220 nail file to shape the nail. You can also use the file to remove shine from the natural nail, helping the Gel Polish adhere better.
-
Buffer: A buffer evens out the nail surface and creates a smooth base.
-
Cuticle Pusher (Steel): Gently push back the cuticles so Gel Polish can be applied close to the edge without touching the skin.
-
Cuticle Nipper: Use it to carefully remove any dead cuticle tissue that cannot be pushed back.
-
Cleanser and Lint-Free Cotton Pads: These remove dust and oil from the nail, which has a major impact on how long your Gel Polish lasts.
-
Cordless Electric Nail File: With an electric nail file, you can quickly and precisely shape the nails and remove surface shine using the right bits & sanding bands.
Create beautiful Nail Art designs
Decorate your nails with Nail Art. With the right brushes and tools, you can easily create your own designs.

Effective removal of Gel Polish
When it’s time for a new look, the right tools help you remove your Gel Polish gently and effectively.
Which tool should I use to remove old Gel Polish or acrylic nails?
You’ll need different tools depending on the type of nail product you want to remove:
-
Nail files: Use a coarse file to break the surface of Gel Polish or Builder Gel.
-
Gel Remover and remover wraps for soak-off removal: For traditional Gel Polish, place a pad soaked with Gel Remover on the nail and wrap it with a remover wrap to soften the product.
-
Magic Remover: This is a faster solution where you apply Magic Remover directly to the nail, leave it to work and then gently push off the product.
-
Cordless Electric Nail File and Bits & Sanding Bands: For removing Builder Gel, Polygel or acrylic nails, an electric nail file with the right bits and sanding bands is an effective tool, as these products are difficult to remove using soak-off removal.
