What are MANII Semi-Cured Gel Films?
MANII gel films are salon-grade gel polish in film form - no bottles / no spills (pretty revolutionary!)
They are partially cured to remain flexible during application, then fully cured under a UV / LED lamp to set into a smooth, durable gel finish.
Each set includes 20 films, designed to fit all nail sizes and remove cleanly (without aggressive soaking or filing).
Our gel films are the ultimate hybrid: the look and wear of gel, the ease of press-ons (without the bulk), and clean removal.
How to apply

BENEFITS – MANII Press-On Polish (Semi-Cured Gel Films)
01 — Fast & Effortless

02 — A Cleaner Formula
Our formula avoids 21 harmful chemicals which can be found in nail products - including HEMA, TPO (recently banned in the EU due to concerns around reproductive health), parabens, phthalates and more). For our full list of exclusions - see our 21-free formula page.

Salon-level durability without lifting or chipping when applied as directed.
04 — Damage-Free Removal
No acetone soaks or harsh scraping. Gently lift/slide off with the cuticle stick provided without damaging nails underneath.
05 — No Mess, No Fumes
Liquid-free application = no spills, no stained cuticles, clothes or flooring, no toxic fumes.
06 — No Skill Required
Shades are already finished for you, from classic solid colours to holographic designs without any dipping, nail art expertise etc. needed.
07 — Affordable
Beautiful nails without a $90 salon bill.
08 — Strengthens While You Wear
The thin gel layer protects brittle or peeling nails from breaking and helps them grow longer and stronger over time.
09 — Helps Break Nail-Biting Habits
The cured layer creates a physical barrier that makes biting difficult, giving natural nails a chance to recover.
10 — Supports Post-Damage Recovery
Ideal after acrylics, gel removal or thinning — the gel film shields the nail plate while it regains strength.
11 — More Self-Care, Less Admin
A small ritual that makes you feel polished the moment you wake up. Because time is the ultimate luxury — and beautiful nails should fit with the realities of busy lives.
