Japanese Gel

So, what is Japanese Gel?

100% Gel, None of the Other Stuff

Japanese gels are true gels (as opposed to gel polish) which means they are highly pigmented. Japanese gels are great because they have dual use of being used for nail art and full applications.

Specialized Formula

No bonder or primer is needed! Japanese gel bases are made to simplify the nail process. Japanese gels last so much longer on your nails too! It can go without chipping for 4+ weeks when applied properly.

Japanese Gels Are 5-Free! KOKOIST and Leaf Gel Are 9 and 10 Free!

Japanese gels are typically 5 Free. At Athena Nails Boutique we use products such as KOKOIST and LEAF Gel, which are 9 and 10-free!

While the definition of 9-free can vary, for us this means that our products do not contain these ingredients: toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor, ethyl tosylamide, parabens, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), and xylene. We maintain Japanese standards to dissuade from using toxic chemicals in our products.
