The Founding Vision

The Gel Bottle Inc. was established in 2015 by Daisy Kalnina, a talented nail technician and entrepreneur with a vision to revolutionize the nail industry. Frustrated by the lack of high-quality, non-toxic gel polishes on the market, Daisy set out to create a brand that prioritized both performance and safety. 

Her background in nail artistry and passion for innovation led to the development of The Gel Bottle, a brand that quickly gained recognition for its superior products and commitment to ethical beauty practices.

Growth and Innovation

Since its inception, The Gel Bottle has experienced rapid growth, expanding its product line and distribution network to meet the increasing demand for high-quality gel polishes. The brand’s success can be attributed to its continuous focus on innovation and quality ingredients.

Commitment to Quality and Safety

A key aspect of The Gel Bottle’s philosophy is its commitment to quality and safety. All products are formulated with non-toxic ingredients, ensuring they are free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP (dibutyl phthalate). 

This dedication to non-toxic formulations has made The Gel Bottle a favorite among health-conscious consumers and professionals alike. Additionally, the brand is dedicated to maintaining high standards of production, with all products manufactured in-house at their state-of-the-art facility in the United Kingdom.

The Company's Ethical Practices

Vegan and Cruelty-Free

The Gel Bottle is a proud advocate for vegan and cruelty-free beauty. All of their products are formulated without any animal-derived ingredients and are never tested on animals. 

This commitment to ethical practices aligns with the growing consumer demand for cruelty-free and vegan beauty products, making The Gel Bottle a leader in the ethical beauty movement.

Environmental Responsibility

In addition to its commitment to non-toxic and cruelty-free formulations, The Gel Bottle is also dedicated to environmental responsibility. The company continuously seeks ways to reduce its environmental footprint through sustainable practices and eco-friendly packaging. 

By prioritizing sustainability, The Gel Bottle aims to minimize its impact on the planet while delivering high-quality products to its customers.

Key Features and Benefits of The Gel Bottle

Long-lasting Formula

One of the standout features of The Gel Bottle is its long-lasting and durable formula, allowing you to enjoy chip-free nails for up to three weeks. This durability ensures your nails stay beautiful and vibrant, even with the demands of daily life.

The Gel Bottle compares Gel Nail Polish vs. Regular Nail Polish and they found, “Gel polish can typically last two to three weeks. Regular nail polish, on the other hand, is a thin nail paint that air dries, lasting one to two weeks depending on the client’s lifestyle.”

High Pigmentation

The Gel Bottle offers high pigmentation, achieving vibrant, rich colors with just one coat. This means fewer layers are needed, resulting in a quicker application process and a more intense color payoff.

Non-toxic Ingredients

Safety is a top priority at Velvet Files, and The Gel Bottle shares this value. The gel polish is free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde and toluene, making it a safer option for your nails and overall health.

Our mission remains clear: to provide unique, luxurious, non-toxic nail and natural skincare treatments. The Gel Bottle aligns with this mission, offering polishes that are free from non-toxic ingredients ensuring that your nail care is safe for both you and the environment.

Smooth Application

The Gel Bottle ensures a flawless finish with its smooth application. Our skilled technicians apply the polish evenly, resulting in a perfect, salon-quality look every time. Plus, the easy soak-off removal makes switching colors a breeze.

Vegan and Cruelty-Free

The Gel Bottle’s vegan and cruelty-free formula reflects our dedication to ethical beauty practices. By choosing this polish, you’re supporting a brand that prioritizes animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

    Client

      Love their products. Their gel polish is amazing! I already have good nails but most salons mess them up when they soak off the gel. Not this place they really take their time. My nails are so long and strong!

      Rhea R

      Client

        I love this place! The all natural gel lasts for weeks, even for someone like me who’s really hard on their hands (boxing 4 days a week) the polish lasts 2+ weeks! Beautiful atmosphere and the employees and owners are so nice! They had to change the time of my last appointment and gave me a discount - wonderful customer service! The products they sell are all great too!
