Summer gel polishes from Julia Nessa

Summer is the time of year when the world around us bursts into colour, and our nails can be an expressive part of it. In our summer gel polish collection you'll find everything you need to recreate that palette on the nail. We offer a range of shades and juicy colours, such as neon pinks, energising oranges and deep blues, as well as subtler but equally striking pastels and nudes. Our summer gel polishes stand out not only for their vivid colours but also for their quality. Created with the needs of professional nail stylists in mind, the products in the summer collection offer long wear. Excellent pigmentation gives full coverage and depth of colour, and easy application means you can quickly and precisely create even the most intricate nail sets.

A whole range of summer colours on the nail

Summer is the ideal time for bold colour experiments and for adding a real summer glow to your manicure. Our summer gel polishes offer a wealth of colours that let you create nail sets reflecting both the latest trends and your clients' individual preferences. In the summer collection you'll find not only energetic shades of orange, which look like a summer sunset on the hands, but also refreshing turquoise tones that bring to mind the colour of the sea and sky on a sunny day. To add subtlety and softness to a nail set, we recommend our pastels — a juicy pink, a calm blue or a mint green are all a great choice. Every shade in our summer collection has been carefully chosen to give nail stylists variety and inspiration for creating unique summer nail sets. Whether you choose a single colour or go for more complex colour combinations, our summer gel polishes will help you create a manicure that is not only beautiful but also long-lasting and ready for summer conditions.

Summer nail art – sun and colour on the nails

In summer, nail art can become a real explosion of creativity and colour. With our rich palette of summer gel polish shades you can create countless combinations and designs that capture the joy and energy of the season. Popular holiday designs include floral and sea motifs, which perfectly evoke the atmosphere of holiday trips. For fans of more energetic nail sets, we recommend neon summer gel polishes combined with geometric patterns or colourful stripes, which complement holiday outfits beautifully. Summer nail art is also a great chance to play with different effects, such as sparkling elements that catch the light and give a nail set character. Experimenting with our summer gel polishes is a great way to express your creativity and bring colourful holiday inspiration to life.

How to apply summer gel polish

Every NessaUV lac gel polish comes in an 8 ml bottle with high pigmentation and a shaped brush that makes application easy, right up to the cuticles.

• ♥ degrease the nail plate with a nail cleanser, apply a gel polish base and cure it in the lamp
• ♥ for neons, first apply a thin layer of white gel polish – the colour will be brighter and more saturated
• ♥ spread a thin layer of colour and cure: 120 seconds in a 36W UV lamp or 30 seconds in a 48W DUAL LED lamp
• ♥ apply a second thin layer and seal the nail set with a high-gloss top coat

Summer gel polish – frequently asked questions

Which nail colour is fashionable for summer? Neon pinks and corals, juicy oranges, mint and lemon pastels, and for the evening – pearly shimmer with a glazed effect.

Can gel polish be used without a lamp? No – gel polish is cured in a UV or DUAL LED lamp. Without curing it stays liquid.

How do I make a neon gel polish more intense? Apply it over a white base, for example Perfect White 600, and seal it with a high-gloss top coat.
