If you've mastered the gel mani basics and want to level up your nail game, our nail art Liner Gels will become your new best friend.
Using our Liner Gels, you can create endless nail art designs, including French tips, stripes, swirls, and tons more. With the precision tip and our signature pigmented formula, you'll have salon-quality nail art at your fingertips and the ability to unleash your inner nail art maestro.
But how exactly do you use these magical nail art liners, you ask? We're about to reveal all.
Introducing Our Nail Art Liner Gels...
Liner Gel features our OG gel polish formula in a new narrow bottle with a built-in precise nail art brush.
Instead of using separate nail art brushes and pouring out gel polish onto a mixing palette or dipping in a separate brush, our Liner Gels are a nifty all-in-one solution . Simply untwist the bottle to reveal the thin brush applicator and pigmented gel formula.
The narrow brush allows for the ultimate control and precision when creating any design – even if you're a complete nail art beginner, these liners will have you painting like a pro in no time.
We have a spectrum of 11 shades named after our most iconic gel colours, including our cult-favourite Witching Hour, a deep black polish, and Break The Ice, a true white. The range also includes a series of bright and vibrant shades, so you can mix and match to your heart's desire – from the shimmery Goldy Locks and Silver Screen to bright shades like Candy Girl and Lilac U A Lot.
The gel is formulated with our salon-quality, long-lasting, and glossy finish, and, when cured under a Mylee LED Lamp, will last up to 3 weeks ! You'll be able to flaunt your beautiful and unique nail art for weeks on end without any chipping or peeling.
How to Use Nail Art Liners
If you've just bagged yourself one, two, or a few of our Liner Gels, you'll want to know how to use them to get the best out of them. They're super simple to use and work even more brilliantly than your standard nail art brush.
Step 1) To achieve the best results, you should apply the gel art liners over a cured coat – either a clear Base Coat or a gel colour. They can also be applied on nail extensions, like our Builder Gel, Magic Extender Gel, and Fix 'N' Flash Tips.
Step 2) When applying the polish, use smooth and slow movements to create precise and clean lines. If you do need to clean up any mistakes, simply use a clean ultra-fine nail art brush to remove any smudges or imperfections.

Step 3) Once you've created and perfected your nail art design, flash cure your nails under our Pro LED Lamp for 15 seconds. If you've used the Liner Gels to create nail art on a large surface of your nail, cure for 30 seconds instead to ensure a fully cured, long-lasting design.
Step 4) You can create more designs using other shades, but always seal in your finished look with a Top Coat, curing for a further 30 seconds under our LED Lamp.
Step 5) Apply a drop of Sweet Almond Nail & Cuticle Oil to your mani to nourish your nails.
How to Remove Your Gel Liner Nail Art
When you want to refresh your nail look, you can remove the gel liner in exactly the same way as you would regular gel polish.
Step 1) Start by buffing your nail surface with a nail file, making sure to remove the shiny top coat. Step 2) Then, soak a nail wipe in our Gel Remover or 100% Pure Acetone and place onto your nail, securing with foil. You can also use our Gel Polish Soak Off Clips for extra hold. Step 3) After 10-15 minutes, pull the wipes firmly and push any loose product with a Gel Scraper or orange stick. Step 4) Re-buff and re-wrap if needed. Step 5) Once all the gel has been removed, thoroughly wash your hands and apply our Nail & Cuticle Oil to your nails. |
You can also infill your nail extensions, so you can create a new design without completely removing your gels.

On a cured Base Coat or gel colour , take your chosen Liner Gel colour and untwist the bottle lid and brush.

Lastly, apply a layer of No Wipe Top Coat Gel Polish , then cure for 30 seconds.
How do I fix a mistake in my nail art?
You can take a clean nail art brush and run it over the mistake to remove the polish. You could dip the brush in a very small amount of Prep & Wipe and run the brush over the area that needs fixing.
