About NailedIt
About NailedIt
I got a gel allergy three years ago and spent six months blaming everything else - my nail tech, a new hand cream, stress.
It was none of those.
I switched to HEMA-free gel. Still reacted. Tried an at-home kit. Worse. Eventually I understood: once your immune system decides it doesn't like acrylates, every version of gel sets off the same response. HEMA-free just swaps one chemical for another.
Nothing on the market had actually removed the problem. So I spent a long time building something that did.
The colour pen is 67% water. No monomers. No UV lamp. It dries the way a felt-tip dries - evaporation, not curing.
And the pen applicator means you're not flooding your nails with a brush and hoping for the best.
Turns out that part annoyed a lot of people, not just me.
I hope you love what we've built for safe, easy nails at home.

Our customers love their NailedIt Pens
So much easier than normal nail polish, obsessed
I literally take the pens with me everywhere, so handy
I hate waiting around for nail polish to dry, but these are super quick and simple. The base and top coat make them last much longer than I thought. Mine stayed nice for almost a week.

Recommend! I’m terrible at painting my nails and usually end up wiping everything off. With the pen it’s actually really easy to stay inside the nail.
Love the colours, really vibrant and the finish looks salon quality once you add the top coat.
All my friends ask where I got them!

In Case You Were Wondering..
Water, Polyurethane-35, Polyurethane-2, Polyurethane-1, Potassium Sorbate, CI pigments.
With the full 5-step system - prep, wipe, base coat, colour, top coat - expect 5 days.
Skipping steps shortens wear. The kit exists precisely so there are no missing steps.
Touch-ups are quick and easy if needed.
Around 60–90 seconds per coat. No UV lamp, no heat gun, no sitting still for 20 minutes. Water-based formula air-dries fast.
Yes. The formula contains no acrylates, no HEMA, no HPMA, no photoinitiators — the entire class of chemicals responsible for gel contact allergies. It's water-based, which means we've left that chemical category entirely. Not reformulated within it.
Yes. The pen applicator is held like a writing pen, which means your dominant hand works exactly as it would writing a note. For your non-dominant hand, the controlled-flow tip reduces the need for perfect technique — the pen does more of the work than a brush does.
Nope! As our pens are 67% water and do not contain the chemicals required for curing, you do not need a UV lamp for it to dry. It dries by air, in less than 10 seconds.
No. There are no solvents, no toluene, no formaldehyde, and no camphor in the formula. The colour pen is 67% water. You will smell nothing. You can do your nails in any room, with any window closed.
Yes. No animal products or by-products in the formula. Not tested on animals.
Simply use any existing nail polish remove or acetone.
