Our silicone practice hands are 100% handmade in Los Angeles from high-quality silicone. They are an exact replica of Red Iguana CEO April Ryan.

Our nail product line is made in the USA and Austria. April collaborated with top laboratories and chemists and completed a nail chemistry education course to ensure the highest quality.

What's the difference between the 2.0 and 3.0 hand?

The 3.0 hand is our newest version of the Red Iguana silicone hands. It features tighter cuticle pockets, a longer wrist, and different finger positioning. Each hand is hand-painted by our team to enhance its realistic appearance. The full 3.0 hand includes a cavity for attaching to the 2-in-1 magnetic stand. The half 3.0 hand and single finger/thumb versions have magnets for easy attachment to the same stand. This stand is not compatible with 2.0 hands or fingers.

What lamp do you recommend?

We recommend using at least a 36W powered lamp with low heat mode to minimize heat spikes.

Are your nail products HEMA-free?

Yes, 99% of our products are HEMA monomer-free!

Which products contain HEMA?

We have only 2 products that contain HEMA: our Ultrabond and Soak-Off Base Gel.

Which product can I use for building and sculpting nails?

BBGels are great when creating short to medium length extensions. For longer extensions, use the Builder gel or Acrygel over UV Primer for added strength. 

I have weak nails, which RÉDI gel should I use?

TwinSeal and BoB Gels are a soft gels with more flexibility. Used as a base and with the Builder Gel over can add strength to the nails.

Do your gels require primer?

Our Builder Gels, Acrygels, and BB Gels require the use of UV Primer, but they do not require base gels. TwinSeal and BoB Gels do not require primer, though we recommend using a Dehydrator for better retention. Always use Acid Primer on clients with hyperhidrosis. Ultrabond is designed for use with acrylics but can also be used with soft gels.

My gel aren't curing correctly, what should I do?

Double check to make sure your lamp is producing strong enough wavelengths to cure the gel. Old lamps could cause the gels to cure unevenly. 

Working in thin layers will help ensure the Color gel is cured completely. 

Are your products Vegan and Cruelty Free?

Yes, all of our products are vegan/cruelty free, hypoallergenic, HEMA free, 9 free and carbon neutral.
