What is a gel polish starter set?

A gel polish starter set is a complete kit that lets you create a gel manicure at home from scratch. With Noux it works like this: you apply our semi-cured gel strips to your nails, cure them under the LED lamp, seal with the top coat, and you're done. No separate polish layers, no drying-time stress, no mess.

You get everything in one box, perfectly matched — the strips, the lamp, the top coat, the removal oil, the linen bag and all the tools — together for one price, at a big discount versus buying it all separately.

How long do the gel nails last?

They last until you don't want them anymore! Most of our beloved users mention they simply want to change up their nails, or they outgrew them. Because of the semi-cured technology, they hardly ever chip away or let loose. And just in case they do… you have extra gel stickers to apply (20 stickers per strip).

Ingredients

Free from HEMA, DI-HEMA and TPO. Always have been, always will be — these are the ingredients most often behind allergic reactions and irritation from gel and acrylic nails.

  • Ppg-3 Glyceryl Ether Triacrylate — our gentle gel base. Under the LED lamp it cures into a flexible, glossy layer that lasts up to 2 weeks.
  • Isopropylthioxanthone — a tiny amount of light activator, so the gel hardens in seconds under the lamp.
  • Mica & cosmetic CI pigments — the same skin-friendly colours and pearls used in make-up.
  • Parfum — just a hint of fragrance.
  • Isobutylphenoxy Epoxy Resin — helps the strip hug your nail smoothly and gives that glassy gloss.
  • Polyethylene Terephthalate — the thin, flexible carrier film that holds the gel layers together; the same safe plastic as a drinking bottle.

The 12-minute ritual

We're going viral… And it's no surprise.

Most at-home gels copy the salon process. Soak, prep, base, colour, top, cure, repeat. Noux flips the order. The strip is the polish. The lamp is the dryer. You're done before your tea goes cold.

Frequently asked.

SEE ALL FAQS
I've never applied gel myself. Can I really do this? +
Yes. The kit is built for first-timers. The lamp detects your hand automatically, the gel is self-levelling, and the guide walks you through five steps. Most people get a clean manicure on the first or second go.
How long does it really last? +
Two weeks of wear on average. If a strip lifts in the first week, we'll send a new pack free.
Will removal damage my natural nail? +
No. We use an acetone-free soak-off formula. 8 minutes in our removal wraps and the gel lifts off. No filing, no peeling, no thinning.
How many manicures per kit? +
12 to 14 applications with the 20 strips included. The lamp lasts 10,000+ hours. Strip refill packs: $24 per 20 strips.
When will it arrive? +
Dispatched from within Australia within 24 hours. Metro: 2 to 4 business days. Regional: 4 to 7 business days. With tracking.

Apex curve is right; gel cures cleanly

Most at-home gel kits give you strips with a flat curve that doesn't follow the natural apex shape. Noux is the first to get it right. The cure was even on 60-sec pulses and the soak-off removal came away cleanly. I'd recommend this kit to first-timers before they come to me.

HEMA-free formula passes patch test

Common allergens like HEMA show up in a third of my patch tests. Noux is HEMA-free, 12-free, and uses methacrylates that passed my own panel with no reaction. For salon quality at home, the chemistry is the cleanest in this price range.

Twelve-hour shoot, zero touch-ups

Last week I shot a campaign with three models wearing Noux strips. Twelve hours on set, hands in and out of soft props, zero touch-ups. No other at-home kit has passed that test for me. The colour palette covers the whole editorial range, no mixing needed.
