Frequently asked questions
What is in the Kiara Sky Gel Pro Fall Collection?
Ten HEMA-free gel polish shades numbered HFG191 to HFG200: Pledge, Midnight Lecture, Valedictorian, Velvet Blazer, Fall Semester, Hall Pass, Campus Crush, Dean's List, You Can Sit With Us, and A+ Student, in 0.5 oz (15 ml) color-matched bottles, sold singly and as the Ivy League Collection set of all ten. It is Kiara Sky's Fall 2026 Gel Pro drop, named the Ivy League Collection.
What makes Gel Pro different from a standard gel?
The listings state it is HEMA-free, TPO-free, TT-free, and TMPTA-free, hypoallergenic and cruelty-free, with one-swipe color payoff, an EaseGlide fiber brush that hugs the cuticle line, a self-leveling formula, and chip-resistant wear rated at 21 days and more. Each shade also works as a design gel for line work, and chrome powder can go directly over it.
How is a Gel Pro shade applied?
Buff the shine off and dehydrate with no product on the skin, apply Gel Pro Rubber Base Coat and cure 30 seconds, apply thin coats of the shade and cure 60 seconds each until the coverage is right, then finish with Gel Pro Non-Wipe Top Coat cured 60 seconds. Removal is an acetone wrap after filing the top. Keep each coat thin and off the skin, since deep fall shades carry more pigment and a thick coat can wrinkle in the lamp.
Is the set cheaper than the singles?
No. The Ivy League Collection set is priced as ten singles, checked on the day of writing; it puts the whole drop on the wall in one order. A salon that wants only the darks or only the neutrals buys the singles by HFG number from this page. The set listing also lets a buyer pick any single shade, so an empty bottle is reordered from the same page.
How do I use the ten on a fall menu?
Midnight Lecture and Pledge as the darks that are not black, Valedictorian, Velvet Blazer, and Fall Semester as the wine edit, Campus Crush, Hall Pass, and Dean's List as the neutrals, You Can Sit With Us as the cold-weather red, and A+ Student as the glitter accent over a deep shade.
Kiara Sky Gel Pro Fall Collection: the ten Ivy League shades, HFG191 to HFG200, singly or as the set
This page holds the Kiara Sky Gel Pro Fall Collection at ND Nails Supply, the brand's Fall 2026 Gel Pro drop that Kiara Sky named the Ivy League Collection: ten HEMA-free gel polish shades numbered HFG191 to HFG200, Pledge, Midnight Lecture, Valedictorian, Velvet Blazer, Fall Semester, Hall Pass, Campus Crush, Dean's List, You Can Sit With Us, and A+ Student, sold singly and as the Ivy League Collection set of all ten, eleven listings in all. Gel Pro is Kiara Sky's sensitive-client gel: the listings state it is HEMA-free, TPO-free, TT-free, and TMPTA-free, formulated to minimize irritation during a nail service, with one-swipe color payoff, an EaseGlide fiber brush that hugs the cuticle line, a self-leveling formula that smooths out brush strokes on its own, and chip-resistant wear the brand rates at 21 days and more, in a 0.5 oz (15 ml) bottle matched to its shade. Where the spring drop was a juice-bar palette of pastels, the Ivy League ten are deep and dressed up: forest green, inky navy, violet, plum, raspberry wine, cocoa rose-brown, a rosy nude, cinnamon rust, brick red, and one champagne rose-gold glitter. Everything is wholesale-priced for everyone, no license and no minimum.
What is on this page
| Listing | Count | What arrives |
|---|---|---|
| Gel Pro single, HFG191 to HFG200 | 10 | One 0.5 oz (15 ml) bottle in a color-matched bottle |
| Ivy League Collection set | 1 | All ten shades, ten 0.5 oz bottles; each single shade can also be picked on the same listing |
The set is priced as ten singles (checked on the day of writing), so it is bought to put the whole drop on the wall in one order rather than for a discount; a salon that wants only the darks or only the neutrals buys the singles by HFG number. The ten are part of the wider Gel Pro line the listings describe, sold on the Kiara Sky Gel Pro page.
The ten shades
| Number | Name | Color family | How the shade reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| HFG191 | Pledge | Greens | A deep forest green with a cool, earthy depth |
| HFG192 | Midnight Lecture | Blues | An inky navy that reads almost black indoors and shows its blue in the light |
| HFG193 | Valedictorian | Burgundies | A deep, cool-toned violet on a strong purple base |
| HFG194 | Velvet Blazer | Burgundies | A deep plum-mulberry with a warm wine undertone |
| HFG195 | Fall Semester | Burgundies | A deep raspberry wine with cool berry undertones |
| HFG196 | Hall Pass | Browns | A muted cocoa rose-brown with a dusty depth |
| HFG197 | Campus Crush | Browns | A soft rosy pink nude |
| HFG198 | Dean's List | Browns | A rich cinnamon rust with caramel undertones |
| HFG199 | You Can Sit With Us | Burgundies | A warm, confident brick red |
| HFG200 | A+ Student | Glitters | A warm champagne rose-gold packed with fine reflective glitter |
The color family is the one Kiara Sky files each shade under; the descriptions are summarized from the brand's own shade notes. Nine of the ten are creams and A+ Student is the glitter, so the set covers a full fall menu plus its accent nail. The swatch on each listing and the set image are the reference a client picks from.
What Gel Pro's formula means at the desk
- Four-free for sensitive clients. HEMA, TPO, TT, and TMPTA are the monomers and photoinitiators most often behind the redness and itching that some clients and many working techs develop from gel; Gel Pro leaves all four out, and the listings add that it is hypoallergenic and cruelty-free.
- One-swipe payoff. The pigment covers in one coat with no streaking or patchiness, which matters most on deep fall shades, where a patchy first coat shows.
- The EaseGlide fiber brush. A brush shaped to hug the cuticle line, for a clean line on a dark shade without a clean-up brush.
- Self-leveling. The gel smooths out brush strokes before the cure, so a thin coat cures flat.
- Multi-purpose. The listings describe each shade as a base color and as a design gel for line work and detailing, so a navy or a rust doubles as the liner on a nail art set.
- Chrome-ready. Chrome powder can go directly over the color for a mirror finish, which is how a plum or a navy becomes a holiday chrome; ND's chrome nail powder page holds the powders.
- 21 days and more. The brand's chip-resistance rating, with a high-gloss finish under a Gel Pro top.
How to apply a Gel Pro shade
- Prep. Push back, buff the shine off the natural nail, dust, and dehydrate; keep every product off the skin, which matters most with a sensitive client.
- Base. A thin coat of Gel Pro Rubber Base Coat, cured for 30 seconds, as the listings direct.
- Color. A thin coat of the shade, left to self-level, cured for 60 seconds; repeat until the coverage is where you want it, capping the free edge.
- Top. A thin coat of Gel Pro Non-Wipe Top Coat, or your preferred top, cured for 60 seconds under an LED/UV lamp.
- Removal. File the top, wrap in acetone, and push the softened gel off rather than scraping.
A reaction to a HEMA-free gel usually traces to product on the skin or a thick coat under-cured at the nail fold, so thin coats, a full cure, and a hairline margin are the habit that keeps a sensitive client comfortable. Deep shades carry more pigment, which is one more reason to keep each coat thin.
Building the fall chart from the set
- The dark that is not black. Midnight Lecture for the client who wants something softer than black, and Pledge for the client who wants a dark that is not burgundy.
- The wine edit. Valedictorian, Velvet Blazer, and Fall Semester, three burgundy-family shades from violet to raspberry, for the client who wears a wine every fall and wants a new one.
- The everyday neutrals. Campus Crush for minimal sets and soft French tips, Hall Pass when a nude feels too light, and Dean's List as the warm rust that flatters tan and deep skin tones.
- The red for cold months. You Can Sit With Us, a brick red for the season when a bright red feels too summery.
- The accent nail. A+ Student worn full or layered over Velvet Blazer or Midnight Lecture for one nail that catches the light.
Why a HEMA-free gel lifts, and the fix
- Lifting at the cuticle: prep, not the formula. Remove every trace of shine and oil, dehydrate, and keep the base a hairline off the skin.
- Color wrinkles in the lamp: the coat was thick. One thin coat left to self-level, cured through, then a second thin one.
- Shrinking at the free edge: the edge was not capped. Run the brush along the tip on each color coat and on the top.
- The client still reacts: product touched the skin, or a thick coat was under-cured at the nail fold. Thin coats, full cure, no skin contact.
Gel Pro beside the other HEMA-free lines at ND
A salon building a sensitive-client menu usually runs more than one HEMA-free line, and the Ivy League ten sit beside A'DOR's Color Me Gel-ous chart, the LAVIS Deluxe line, and OPI's Intelli-Gel on the same wall. What Gel Pro adds is the four-free formulation the listings spell out and the one-swipe, self-leveling habit; what the others add is depth of chart, since a Gel Pro seasonal drop is ten shades. A salon keeps the Ivy League ten for the fall and holiday bookings, keeps the Gel Pro Spring ten for the pastel months, and leans on the wider HEMA-free chart for everything between.
Storage and reorder
Store the ten in number order beside the rest of the Gel Pro chart so the drop reads as part of the line, and reorder by HFG number. Gel keeps out of sunlight with the cap tight and the neck wiped; a bottle near the lamp thickens, and a bottle that has sat is rolled between the palms rather than shaken. A fall drop goes on the wall before the first cold week, and the burgundies and the brick red stay at working height through the holidays, when A+ Student moves to the front for party nails.
