What is gel polish?
Sopolish by ProNails is the most complete and reliable professional, vegan gel polish for professionals. Also known as gel polish or semi-permanent nail polish.Gel Polish guarantees perfectly polished nails, strengthens them and gives a brilliant shine that lasts up to 3 weeks. Sopolish is applied just like ordinary nail polish, curing is super-fast under the LED lamp and removal is easy by soaking or peeling off, without damaging the natural nail. No buffing, no drilling, no filing. Only respect for the natural nail!
How long can you leave gel nail polish on?
Sopolish lasts up to 21 days on hands and feet. Longer than regular nail polish, which many salon clients see as an advantage. Gel Polish is therefore also ideal for pedicures.

How to apply gel polish?
1. Mini Manicure
You always start with a mini manicure. Begin by sanitising the hands, then file the nails into the desired shape and push back the cuticles. You can also perform a more extensive manicure before starting the application process.
2. Base Coats
Sopolish Cleanse is the first step in the Sopolish application process. It is used to efficiently remove any oily residue from the nail plate before applying Sopolish Easy Peel, Easy Soak, or Structure Base.
How to choose the right gel polish base? We offer three types of bases:
- Does your client return regularly to your salon? Then the best option is Sopolish Easy Soak. It is also suitable for use on toenails and can be removed by soaking off.
- Is your client visiting just once? Then suggest Sopolish Easy Peel, which allows them to remove the polish themselves after two weeks by peeling it off.
- Does your client have challenging nails (e.g., spoon-shaped, brittle nails, or nails with deep ridges)? Choose Sopolish Structure Base. This base provides structure and even allows for small extensions of up to 2mm.
Gel Polish Easy Peel
This Sopolish salon service offers the unique advantage of quick and easy peel-off removal, at home or in the salon, without damaging the natural nail. No soaking in solvents required. The Sopolish peel-off service is performed with an easy brush-on application using the Sopolish Start Easy Peel. This treatment is suitable for hands and can be used on all nail types. However, it is not suitable for toenails.
The difference lies in the fact that this base coat does not need to be cured under a LED lamp and can be impressively easy to remove thanks to the peel-off system!
Gel Polish Easy Soak
This efficient salon treatment is suitable for all nail types and can be used on both hands and feet. The convenient brush-on applicator and ultra-fast LED curing make this a quick and easy salon service. Removal is done professionally in the salon using a soak-off system that takes just 5 minutes and is gentle and non-damaging to the nails.
Ge Polish Structure Base - Versteviging
Not every client is lucky enough to have beautiful, strong natural nails. Some clients have brittle, ridged, or weak nails, making it challenging to achieve a long-lasting semi-permanent polish with a smooth and even finish. With the Sopolish Structure Base, you can help these clients enjoy a beautiful Sopolish colour on a smooth, well-shaped nail. You can remove the Sopolish by soaking it off, just as you would with Sopolish Start Easy Soak as the base. While it may take a bit longer than with Easy Soak, the result is a manicure that lasts longer and provides added durability!
3. Choosing a Colour
Now comes the most enjoyable step of the application: letting your client choose their favourite colour. Sopolish gel polish is as easy to use as regular nail polish, cures under LED light, and lasts for approximately 21 days without damaging the natural nail. It delivers stunning results thanks to its superior colour formula. Available in over 150 shades, ranging from timeless classics to the latest trends.
4. Finishing with Your Favourite Top Coat
Of course, you want the perfect shine on your nails. Achieve this by finishing with the Sopolish Gloss, which protects the colour and ensures beautifully shiny nails until your next manicure. We offer a variety of gloss options, including matte, natural, and even glitter finishes, so there's something for everyone. Each semi-permanent top coat is cured under the Smart Light.
How do you remove gel polish?
The removal method for this semi-permanent gel system depends on the base you use.
1. Easy Peel Base
Your client can remove it themselves by peeling off the gel polish once nail regrowth is visible. You can use the Polish Corrector Pen to help lift the edges more easily.
2. Easy Soak Base
Removal in 5 minutes in the salon using Sopolish Remove, Cotton Pads, and the Reusable Soak Off Clips.
3. Structure Base
This base provides structure to the nail, making it ideal for clients with deeply ridged, bitten, or very brittle nails. It smooths the nail plate and even allows for small extensions of up to 2 mm. Removal is done through a combination of soaking off and filing with your e-file device.

What is the difference between this Gel Polish from ProNails and Semi-Permanent from other brands?
Why is one semi-permanent gel polish not like the other?
Sopolish colours feature the most opaque pigments, do not discolour or fade, do not shrink, and cure perfectly, whether light or dark. Two thin layers are enough, and you can apply it to all 5 fingers at once and cure them in one go.
You can choose the base depending on:
- What the client prefers: Does your client return regularly to your salon? Then Easy Soak is the best choice, also for pedicures. The gel polish can be soaked off during their next appointment. Is your client visiting only once? Then suggest Easy Peel, so they can remove the polish themselves after 2 weeks.
- The nail type: Does your client have challenging nails (e.g., spoon-shaped nails) or is a nail-biter at your table? Always opt for Sopolish Structure Base. It provides structure and even allows for small extensions of up to 2 mm.
Additionally, you have a wide variety of top coats to choose from. For instance, the new Sopolish Twinkle, with a stunning golden-copper glitter, is perfect for this autumn!
Why would a client choose gel polish over regular polish?
A Sopolish treatment is ideal for clients who want a nail colour that staysbeautiful for two to three weeks. Sopolish lasts much longer than LongWear and provides a stunning gel-like finish. Often, new clients visit your salon for a Sopolish manicure for aspecial occasion, such as a wedding or during the holiday season. However, there will also be clients who return regularly for this service!
Why is Sopolish by ProNails essential for your beauty studio/nail salon?
As a beauty entrepreneur, salon owner, or professional nail stylist, you know that semi-permanent nail treatments are one of the most requested nail services. Choosing the right system is therefore crucial for your success! A semi-permanent gel polish that is easy to use and delivers perfect results quicklyenhances the experience for both you and your clients. Not all products on the market are equally reliable, and some systems can be time-consuming or even damaging. Despite the rise of DIY kits, many people still prefer a professional treatment due to the expertise and professional-grade products provided. Sopolish by ProNails is the trusted choice of top salons forflawless, fast, and safe manicures.
Always remain within the same system
Never combine Sopolish products with those from other ProNails systems, and especially not with products from other brands. The reason is simple: all gels are developed to achieve the best possible adhesion, shine, and curing within their respective systems. When you mix systems, for example, SOPOLISH with BFLEX or BSTRONG, the surface tension between the different layers changes, causing the colour or shine to shrink back and preventing proper adhesion.
Highlight your Sopolish products and let your customers choose their favourite colour
Please show in your salon that you offer this nail service. Your clients will be more likely to ask about it when they come for a deluxe manicure or pedicure, for example!
