Cannon-balling into the pool isn’t the only way to make a splash this Labor Day.
Take your cues from leading Los Angeles-based nail art brand Modelones—and step into fall with your most stylish mani-pedi yet! ICYMI, the brand just dropped the ultra-chic Gel Mini Salon kit, and it’s exactly what I need.
To introduce Gel Mini Salon to the world, Modelones did what any of us would do and threw a party. And not just any party, either! The brand hosted its event at a luxury villa in Hollywood Hills, complete with an infinity pool and futuristic Mega Mansion aesthetics. Featuring striking floral installations, creative selfie walls, and celebrity appearances by the likes of Alabama Barker, a musician and fashion influencer known for her vibrant style and creative content and Kim Truong a leading Hollywood nail artist featured in global campaigns and red carpet events who is always at the forefront of trends and passionate about healthy nails, the Gel Mini Salon kit got the debut that dreams are made of.

I could rave about the Mini Salon Launch Party all day, but let’s get down to the deets of Gel Mini Salon itself.
Just as Modelones did with the Paris Prime Life Collection launch earlier in the summer, they designed a cute silhouette to house the actual polishes. The Gel Mini Salon kit comes in the shape of a purse, because it’s meant to keep all your nail products in one place. So fun!
Inside, you’ll get the complete set—so think four trending shades, base and top coat, an 8W nail lamp, and everything you need from application to removal. Modelones’ gel nail polish has a 150° wide brush, making it quick and easy to apply; additionally, the easy-to-identify caps help you choose your perfect color. Even better? The Gel Mini Salon kit comes with a nail trend indicator, AKA stunning stickers and innovative layering techniques that provide unique nail art combinations. I’m obsessed with how easy it is to express yourself through the stickers and nail art—and it’s all so much more economical than a salon manicure!
There are three different Gel Mini Salon collections for you to choose from, giving you multiple shades to suit your every mood and occasion.
Modelones Gel Mini Salon Gel Nail Polish Collection: Pure Me ($19.99)
The Pure Me collection is all about subtlety, softness, and femininity. These shades exude quiet luxury and are perfect to wear to a work interview, a wedding, or even if you just feel like flaunting a little bit of neutral glam in you everyday! Shades include:
- Forever Classic: A neutral white that’s perfectly ladylike and sophisticated
- Heart’s Horizon: This gentle pink is girly without any of the frills or fussiness
- Love in Brilliance: Pale pink with just a hint of shimmer? Yes please
- Big Into Energy: A pink with deeper undertones, perfectly complementing the overall palette
Modelones Gel Mini Salon Gel Nail Polish Collection: Low Key Passion ($21.99)
Y’all, this nail polish kit is named Low Key Passion for a reason—because it’s perfectly sexy without ever getting vampy. This chic collection of reds, golds, and champagnes is your one-stop nail shop when it comes to getting ready for a date night, a dinner party, brunch with girlfriends, etc.! Shades include:
- White Champagne: Like bubbly for your nails—it’s fun, effervescent, and ready for a good time
- Delightful Pink: A dreamy, sparkly rose that’s down to play
- Dazzling Gold: A glittery gold that’s impossible to ignore
- Ancora Red: Passionate, vibrant, and sexy, this bold red is my favorite of the bunch
Modelones Gel Mini Salon Gel Nail Polish Collection: Crystal Power ($21.99)
Inspired by the natural beauty and mystical energy of crystals, this collection brings together shades designed to enhance your aura and keep the good vibes flowing. Wear any of these colors out and about, whenever you need a little extra positivity in your life, or in case of crisis (like Mercury in retrograde, LOL). In all seriousness, you can’t miss because these shades go with everything!
- Moonstone Illusion: Let this shimmery opal color remind you to find tranquility and balance
- Amethyst Fantasia: Like the amethyst crystal, this color embodies power and energy
- Quartzo Rose: A soft pink that symbolizes true love, purity, and warmth
- Fluorite Dream: A unique shade of green that’s inspired by the healing properties of fluorite
Honestly, with colors THIS pretty, why stop at just one collection? The Gel Mini Salon collections let you unleash your creativity and self-expression in such a fun way. I’m so glad they’re finally here!
