SHOP BY COLOR
Londontown®'s gel colors are gel products created for professional usage and REQUIRE UV/LED CURING. Discounts do not apply to gel products as they are priced at the professional price point.
Our UV gel nail polishes are designed exclusively for professional use. Although a UV/LED light is required to cure these polishes, these are far from the traditional formulas you’ve come to expect: they’re gel colors, the Londontown way.
Why Choose Our UV Gels?
These aren't your run-of-the-mill gel polishes. Londontown UV gels give vibrant, budge-proof and streak-free color in just one coat, and deliver up to 3 weeks of chip-resistance wear. It's not just about function, however: formula matters, too. Londontown gel polishes are non-solvent, vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free, and never have harmful fumes.
