Getting your nails done can be an instant mood-lifter.
I would know—I’m a reformed nail-biter, and I love how a fresh coat of polish instantly makes me feel put-together. (It’s also great incentive for me to leave my nails alone IYKYK.) Unfortunately, regular salon visits are ruining the monthly budget my husband and I keep saying we’ll stick to, so my new go-to has been at-home mani-pedi sets.
For a gel polish to earn a gold star rating from me, it needs to check a few key boxes: high-quality formula, easy application, long wear (we’re talking more than a weekend), and shades that actually make me feel excited to do my nails. That’s exactly what I found in Modelones Gel Polish—a brand that goes way beyond just one set and delivers an entire spectrum of color for every season, trend, and mood.
With everything from timeless single shades to curated 6-color collections and vibrant 28-color kits (including their newly released summer series), Modelones makes it easy to find a set that fits your vibe. Think beachy blues, pearly pastels, soft neutrals, moody cat eye effects, and bold glitters—all powered by a long-lasting formula that delivers salon-level results at home. These nail polish kits are the literal embodiment of Modelones’ mission to empower self-expression through color.
But in case you’re unfamiliar with Modelones, let’s back up a second.
This world-leading nail art brand—born in Los Angeles and now beloved in over 30 countries—has built a global community of 10+ million nail lovers. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or a full-on nail art pro, chances are you’re familiar with their bold colors, trend-forward kits, and/or signature cat eye finishes.
As Modelones celebrated its 10th anniversary, the brand took the milestone as a chance to reflect on a decade of fearless innovation and creativity. But instead of just posting a #TBT and calling it a day, they went big, launching a year-long “10-Year On The Go” tour across the U.S. to honor the people behind their success: the loyal customers, nail artists, influencers, and creative communities who have made Modelones what it is today.
On hand to celebrate the anniversary tour was global brand ambassador Sarah Haidar (aka @heluviee on IG), the creative force behind multiple viral nail trends and the “Pinterest hand” you’ve 100% seen before.
Inspired by Modelones’ eye-catching designs and colors, Sarah brought her signature style to Modelones’ anniversary campaign with a custom floral nail look that’s basically summer in a manicure.
Using shades from one of Modelones’ 28-color kits, she created a dreamy blend of soft neutrals and delicate details: 2373 as a sheer base, 2337 for a pearly swirl effect, and a mix of 1634 + 2620 to paint tiny, floral accents. It’s a perfect showcase of how versatile the brand’s gel polish collections really are—whether you’re recreating a viral design or just free-styling your own.
I love how it hits perfectly on some of summer’s biggest nail trends, like soft pinks and high-shine finishes.
But Sarah’s creative manicure is just one example of what’s possible across Modelones’ polish collections.
Beyond their larger kits, the brand’s 6-color gel polish series are an equally exciting way to tap into trending nail aesthetics.
From shimmering metallics, to cat-eye gels, to skin-tone neutrals and everything in between, each set is thoughtfully designed around a theme, which makes them ideal for anyone who wants to test-drive a new vibe without committing to a full palette. And just like the full-size collections, these smaller kits feature the same salon-level formulas that go on smooth, last for weeks, and give you a satisfying high-gloss finish. It’s proof that with Modelones, you don’t need dozens of colors to unlock dozens of looks.
Of course, no standout manicure is complete without a little artistry, and Modelones has that covered, too. From precision brushes to dotting pens and magnetic tools, their nail art accessories make it easy to experiment with everything from minimalist accents to full-blown statement nails. I absolutely love how the brand gives you the freedom and the tools to express yourself.
As Sarah puts it, Modelones is “more than beauty; it’s a mindset.” Cheers to wearing your personality on your nails, this summer and beyond!
