plantPRO LED Nail Polish
What is special about plantPRO and how does it differ from conventional gel nail polish?
plantPRO is the first vegan and plant-based UV gel nail polish on the market. The formula is based on up to 70% natural ingredients and is free from controversial ingredients such as HEMA and HPMA, which are often used in classic gel nail polishes an
What is gel nail polish and why do you need an LED lamp? What is the difference compared to regular nail polish?
Gel nail polish is longer-lasting and more resistant in everyday life than conventional nail polish. Therefore, there is also a difference in how it cures. Regular nail polish dries through the evaporation of solvents in the air. Gel nail polish, on
Can I use a different lamp than the PROlamp, for example one I already have at home?
We can only guarantee the advertised performance of plantPRO if you use the specially developed lamp designed for our plantPRO Gel Nail System. This is because the characteristics of each lamp (wattage, position, and number of LED lights, etc.) have

What is the best way to prepare my nails for plantPRO?
Your hands should be clean, dry, and free of oils or cream residue before application. File your nails into shape and gently push back the cuticles. Lightly roughening the nail surface will improve durability. Then clean the nail plate with Prep & Fi
Is the nail plate damaged by roughening/buffing? Why is it necessary?
When done correctly, buffing does not harm healthy nails. In fact, it can even stimulate nail growth. The prep side (240) of our PRObuffer was designed to provide efficient yet gentle buffing. If you tend to have very thin or brittle nails, you shoul
Is gel nail polish harmful to the nails?
If you use our products correctly, there’s no need to worry about your nails. Nails are often damaged because the buffing (the gentle removal of the nail surface) is not done properly. The natural nail plate actually consists of around 100–150 layers
Can I apply sunscreen before a manicure to protect myself from UV light?
We generally always recommend using sunscreen whenever you’re exposed to UV light — even in everyday life. You can apply a sunscreen of your choice about 20–30 minutes before the application. However, it’s important to thoroughly clean the entire nai
Do I really need all 5 products?
Yes, all 5 products are required to properly perform the manicure or pedicure. Only by following the steps of the system correctly can you achieve the promised results.
Can I use the plant-based colors together with the plantPRO base and top coat?
Unfortunately, that’s not possible, as the two formulas are not compatible with each other. plantPRO cures under LED light, while the plant-based colors dry in the air instead of under LED light. plantPRO was developed as an integrated system, and we
Is it difficult to achieve a perfect result?
Our goal was to develop a system that is easy for everyone to use. The application experience of the colors is similar to that of our plant-based shades. Only the base coat needs to be applied differently. Because of the LED light required to cure th
Why shouldn’t I apply the products outside (in the sun)?
It’s important not to apply the system outside in the sun, as sunlight can cause partial curing. This may lead to changes in viscosity, uneven coverage, or clumping — all of which can negatively affect durability.
My manicure/pedicure didn’t last more than 15 days. What did I do wrong?
The durability of 15+ days was proven in an independent external panel test. However, it’s important to note that the individual condition of your nails, the quality of the buffing and preparation of the nail plate, as well as the precise application
How should I care for my nails after removal and between applications?
In general, we recommend caring for your nails with a nail oil several times a week. Especially after removing plantPRO, we suggest nourishing your nails with a nail oil or using our Nail Recovery Treatment. If you plan to reapply plantPRO after remo
Is a break between manicures necessary or recommended?
In general, taking a break between manicures or pedicures is not necessary. However, if you feel that your nails are thin or brittle and you’d like to give them a rest, you can use our Strengthening Nail Hardener or the Smoothing Base Coat to strengt
What are HEMA and HPMA? Why do you avoid using these ingredients?
HEMA (Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate) and HPMA (Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate) are monomer acrylates commonly used in LED gel nail polishes. They are highly reactive compounds that are activated and linked together by LED light to form a long, plastic-like p
Why do you avoid using acetone?
Acetone is typically used for the soak-off removal of conventional gel nail polish. This process involves applying a relatively large amount of acetone to the skin for an extended period (10–15 minutes), and it must be repeated every 2–3 weeks. We av
Does the formula contain UV filters?
The product does not contain UV filters. To protect against external environmental influences such as UV light, the antioxidant vitamin E has been added.
I’m allergic to conventional UV gel nail polishes – can I use plantPRO? What if I try it and don’t tolerate it?
One of the main causes of allergic reactions to conventional UV gel nail polishes is the ingredient HEMA. Since we avoid this and other controversial ingredients in our formula, it’s likely that you will tolerate plantPRO better. However, allergies a
How should I best store the products? How long can I use them after opening?
The colors should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight. They should also be kept upright. We recommend not leaving the bottles open longer than necessary during application and closing them carefully afterward. Please make s
How do I dispose of the products correctly?
Despite their plant-based formulas, the products should not be disposed of in regular household waste. The empty bottle can be placed in the standard recycling bin for green glass. The cap and brush can be disposed of in general waste. Products that
