From soft charcoal to full-opacity jet black

Our range runs the full distance: softer charcoal for everyday wear, and glossy, full-opacity jet black for the real thing. Gel doesn't stain your natural nails, so there's no extra prep beyond your usual base coat: two thin coats, cured for 60 seconds each and sealed with a top coat, gives full opacity.

Styling your black mani

Black goes with everything, which is exactly why it's a wardrobe staple. Wear it full-coverage for a sharp, polished look, soften it with a matte finish, or use it as the base for chrome tips, gold accents or fine line work. It flatters every skin tone and every nail length, from short and neat to long and dramatic.

The edgier finishing touches

Black is one of the most popular bases for negative space and graphic nail art, since the high-contrast backdrop makes simple line work look deliberate. Add a layer of Clear 5-In-1 Builder Gel underneath for extra strength under a statement set. For gems or 3D detail, set them into a builder gel mani so they're encapsulated and secure.

FAQs

Does black gel polish stain my natural nails?

No. Gel doesn't stain the natural nail, that's a regular-polish issue. Your base coat is there to help the colour adhere and protect the nail, not to prevent staining.

How many coats of black gel polish do I need?

Two thin coats usually give full opacity. Cure each coat for 60 seconds under your Mylee LED lamp. If it looks patchy, build a second thin layer rather than one thick coat.

How do I get a matte black finish?

Apply your black gel as normal, then finish with a matte top coat instead of a glossy one and cure as usual. It's the easiest way to switch between velvety matte and high-shine jet.

Why does my black gel look patchy or streaky?

Usually too thin a first coat. Build in two thin, even layers rather than one thick one, curing each for 60 seconds, and you'll get a deep, even, full-opacity black.
