What's New in Gel Nails: Ciaté London Geltox Detox Kit

New Product Alert! Are you terrified of gel nail polish because you don't want to deal with the hassle of taking it off yourself, possibly ruining your nail beds, or paying too much to do so at the salon? Now you can have, and remove your gel polish on your terms. Thanks to Ciaté London Geltox Detox Kit, you can skip the nail salon and safely remove Ciaté London Geltox® Longwear Topcoat, and any gel polish without damaging your nails.

Minimize trauma, and transform your nails into healthy, happy, DETOXED nails with this amazing kit which contains everything needed for worry-free gel polish removal, including:

• 1.7 oz Geltox Detox Removal Solution
• 2 x Nail Wraps
• 0.17 oz Geltox Detox Serum
• Nail File
• Hoof Stick and four-way nail buffer

Just follow these simple steps to detox and remove gel polish from your nails in just 10 minutes:

1. Gently buff the surface of the nail using the nail file, carefully avoiding the skin – this will break the gel seal and make removal easier! 
2. Brush a few drops of the Geltox® Detox Serum onto the cuticle, and massage into the nail bed for a little nourishing treat! Next, snip a section of the nail wrap tape to size, allowing enough tape either side of a cotton pad to wrap around your fingertip. Soak the cotton pad in removal solution and place over the nail, securely wrapping the tape around each fingertip to hold in place.
3. Repeat on all 10 nails, sit back and allow the gel to melt away for approximately 10 minutes. Unwrap the nail wrap and wipe the nail surface to remove any residue - use the hoof stick provided to ease away any stubborn patches. Gently use the buffer provided to even the surface of the nail.
4. Finish with a second treatment of Geltox® Detox Serum for a dose of nail goodness.

When used alongside the Ciaté London Geltox® System, your nails will be transformed back to their natural, healthy beauty in a matter of minutes. Grab the Ciaté London Geltox Detox Kit for only $25.00 from Sephora. As always, these products are Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates-free.
