What do I need to use the Gel Polish?
Our Gel Polishes are long-lasting 3 step gel formulas that cure under UV/LED light. This means they require the use of:
- Gel Base Coat or Rubber Base Gel; and
- Gel Top Coat; and
- UV/LED lamp
Base/Top Coats
The purpose of a base coat is to protect your natural nails from the colour pigments in gel polish, and to provide a surface for the gel polish to adhere to. While we don’t stock regular Gel Base Coats, we have our signature Rubber Base Gel which adds extra strength to the natural nail to help prevent breakage, and is designed to replace the regular base coat.
As for Top Coats, their purpose is to seal off and protect the colour to ensure its longevity. Sadie’s Gel Top Coat has a high shine, non-wipe formula, meaning it doesn’t leave a tacky layer that needs to be cleansed after curing. However, any Gel Top Coat will be fine. Please note our Gel Polishes are not compatible with regular nail polish systems.
UV/LED Lamp
We have our super cute pink Sadie Lamp available. It’s got 3 different time settings, 48W power, operates on low heat to minimise heat spikes and is lightweight! Oh, and did we mention how cute it is?
If you’ve already got your own UV/LED lamp, that’ll do the trick just fine. If your UV/LED lamp is less than 48W, we recommend curing each coat for an extra 30-60 seconds than stated in our instructions.
What is a Rubber Base Gel?
For those who have thin, damaged or brittle nails, the Rubber Base Gel is your new best friend. It's our secret weapon to having long, healthy and strong nails so we've made it a standard inclusion in all our Gel Polish Kits.
Our Rubber Base Gel is an innovative formula which adds strength to the natural nails to promote nail growth without breakage or chipping. It has a thick, self-levelling consistency that adds a little thickness and a lot of strength to the natural nail without looking bulky. This 2-in-1 product is designed to be used in place of a regular base coat and can be used as a gel colour too!

I already have some gel products at home. Can I use your products with them?
Absolutely! Our gel polishes are compatible with other gel products like base coats, top coats and gel polishes, they just don’t work together with regular nail polishes.
Our Gel-Xtend system also works with similar products from other brands, however we’ve found that our Gel-Xtend products work best and last longest when used together. Unfortunately we can’t promise your Gel-Xtend extensions will last as long if they’re used with products from other brands.
What's the difference between the Mini Flash Curing Lamp and the Full Size Sadie Lamp? Which do I need?
Our Mini-Flash Curing Lamp is designed to be used for the purpose of Gel-Xtend application. It’s got a C shape which allows you to slide your finger under the Mini Lamp to cure the Gel Glue whilst holding the extension in place with your other hand. This comes as standard with all Gel-Xtend kits as it is required for proper application of our Pre-Sculpted Gel Extensions.
However, the Mini Lamp is not designed to replace a full-size lamp as the Mini Lamp is only 6W, meaning it isn’t strong enough to cure your Gel Extensions or Gel Polish fully. To achieve a long-lasting finish for your Gel Extensions and Gel Polish, we strongly recommend getting yourself a full-size UV/LED lamp that’s at least 36W. We have our super cute Sadie Lamp which is 48W available for purchase. Plus, you’ll automatically unlock 20% discount off our Sadie Lamp when purchasing any of our kits in the same transaction.
