Frequently asked questions
What is in the Kiara Sky Gel Pro Spring Collection?
Ten HEMA-free gel polish shades numbered HFG151 to HFG160: Vanilla Cloud, Lemon Creme, Matcha Melt, Icy Slush, Rose and Lychee, Berry Lux, Sugar and Ice, Soft Press, Melon Tonic, and Tangerine Twist, in 0.5 oz color-matched bottles, sold singly and as The Freshly Pressed Collection set of all ten. The set is priced as ten singles.
What makes Gel Pro different from a standard gel?
The listings state it is HEMA-free, TPO-free, TT-free, and TMPTA-free, formulated to minimize irritation during a service for sensitive clients, with one-layer color payoff, an EaseGlide fiber brush that hugs the cuticle line, a formula that smooths out brush strokes before the cure, and chip-resistant wear rated at 21 days and more. The spring ten belong to the wider Gel Pro line of 150 shades.
How is a Gel Pro shade applied?
Prep and dehydrate with no product on the skin, a thin gel base cured, one coat of the shade left to self-level and cured, a second thin coat for depth with the free edge capped, then a gel top cured. Removal is an acetone wrap after filing the top. Thin coats, a full cure, and a hairline margin are what keep a sensitive client comfortable.
Is the set cheaper than the singles?
No. The Freshly Pressed Collection 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 pastels or only the brights buys the singles by HFG number, and every shade is in stock at the time of writing; a bottle that empties is reordered by number from this page.
How do I use the ten on a spring menu?
Vanilla Cloud, Lemon Creme, Matcha Melt, Icy Slush, and Soft Press for the multi-color pastel manicure; Vanilla Cloud, Tangerine Twist, or Melon Tonic on the tip for a French with a twist; Sugar and Ice or Berry Lux as the accent nail; and Tangerine Twist, Melon Tonic, and Rose and Lychee on the pedicure shelf into summer.
Kiara Sky Gel Pro Spring: the ten Freshly Pressed shades, HFG151 to HFG160, singly or as the set
This page holds the Kiara Sky Gel Pro Spring Collection at ND Nails Supply: ten HEMA-free gel polish shades numbered HFG151 to HFG160, Vanilla Cloud, Lemon Creme, Matcha Melt, Icy Slush, Rose and Lychee, Berry Lux, Sugar and Ice, Soft Press, Melon Tonic, and Tangerine Twist, sold singly and as The Freshly Pressed Collection set of all ten, eleven listings, every one in stock at the time of writing. 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-layer color payoff, an EaseGlide fiber brush that hugs the cuticle line, a 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 bottle matched to its shade. The spring ten are the juice-bar palette the set name and the shade names describe: a cream, a lemon, a matcha, an icy blue, a rose, a berry, a sugar white, a soft pink, a melon, and a tangerine. Everything is wholesale-priced for everyone, no license and no minimum.
What is on this page
| Listing | Count | What arrives |
|---|---|---|
| Gel Pro single, HFG151 to HFG160 | 10 | One 0.5 oz bottle in a color-matched bottle |
| The Freshly Pressed Collection | 1 | All ten shades in one set |
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 half the palette buys the singles by number. The ten are part of the wider Gel Pro line of 150 shades the listings describe, sold on the Kiara Sky Gel Pro page.

Only Vanilla Cloud carries a written description on its listing; the other nine are read from their names, and 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 listing says it is formulated to minimize irritation during the service.
- One-layer payoff. The pigment covers in one coat with no streaking or patchiness, so the second coat is for depth, not for hiding the nail.
- The EaseGlide fiber brush. A brush shaped to hug the cuticle line, for a clean line without a clean-up brush.
- Self-smoothing. The gel levels out brush strokes before the cure, so a thin coat cures flat.
- 21 days and more. The brand's chip-resistance rating, with a high-gloss finish under a Kiara Sky top.
How to apply a Gel Pro shade
- Prep. Push back, remove shine, dust, dehydrate; keep every product off the skin, which matters most with a sensitive client.
- Base. A thin coat of gel base, cured under the lamp.
- Color. One coat of the Gel Pro shade, letting it self-level, cured; a second thin coat for depth, the free edge capped.
- Top. One coat of gel top, cured.
- 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 sensitive-client-safe.
Building the spring chart from the set
- The pastel manicure. Vanilla Cloud, Lemon Creme, Matcha Melt, Icy Slush, and Soft Press, the five soft shades that are the spring set on most menus, one per nail for the multi-color pastel look.
- The French with a twist. Vanilla Cloud on the tip over a sheer, or Tangerine Twist and Melon Tonic on the tip for the colored French.
- The accent nail. Sugar and Ice on one nail of a cream set, or Berry Lux as the one deep nail on a pastel set.
- The pedicure. Tangerine Twist, Melon Tonic, and Rose and Lychee, the three that carry from spring into summer toes.
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 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 the second 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 Gel Pro spring ten sit beside A'DOR's Color Me charts, 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 self-leveling, one-coat habit that suits a tech who wants a fast pastel set; what the others add is depth of chart, since Gel Pro's spring drop is ten shades and the A'DOR Gel-ous set is 64. A salon keeps the Gel Pro drop for the seasonal pastel bookings and the wider HEMA-free chart for the everyday nudes and reds, and all of them share the same rule at the desk: thin coats, a full cure, and nothing on the skin.
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 for years out of sunlight with the cap tight and the neck wiped; a bottle near the lamp thickens and cures in the bottle, and any bottle that has sat is rolled between the palms rather than shaken. A spring drop is bought in February so it is on the wall a month before clients ask for it, and the pastels stay at working height through summer, when the tangerine and melon move to the pedicure shelf.
