Gelous was born, raised and made with love in beautiful New Zealand in 2018.
Unable to find a homegrown nail kit that was affordable, high-quality, non-toxic and cruelty-free, we took matters into our own hands and brought Gelous to life. Our vision was simple: create a haven for those with like-minded values who love creating salon-quality manicures from the cosy comforts of their own homes. Proudly holding the title of New Zealand’s first do-it-yourself UV/LED Gel Nail Polish company, Gelous now delights thousands of happy customers across New Zealand, Australia, the United States, Europe, and the rest of the world.

Why Gelous?
As New Zealand’s first DIY Gel Nail Polish company, we’ve been perfecting the art of at-home beauty since day one. Our Gel Nail Polish paints on just like ordinary nail polish but lasts over two weeks without fading, peeling or chipping. No need to wait for your nails to dry or worry about smudging them - they’re hard and perfectly dry once cured with the Gelous UV/LED Gel Nail Lamp. Stacked up against a regular mani, a Gelous manicure lasts longer, feels stronger, and shines like nobody’s business.

There’s something truly empowering about having beautiful nails. It’s not just about the aesthetics; it’s how they make you feel. A stunning mani instantly raises your confidence, having you radiate positive energy and exude an aura of composure, even when life gets a little chaotic. And the best part? Unlike a fleeting blow wave or trendy outfit, a Gelous manicure stays with you for weeks.

It’s not just the confidence boost that comes with a fresh mani that we love. In our fast-paced lives, a self-care ritual is essential for staying grounded and present. Taking the time out to create a beautiful manicure is more than just pampering yourself, it’s a moment to rest and recharge, leaving you ready to take on the world - even if it is one day at a time.
