Gelish Nail Surface Cleanse is a professional-grade cleanser that removes tacky gel residue and polishes nails to a smooth, high-shine finish without drying the surrounding skin.

Created for salon technicians and at-home nail enthusiasts, this 16 fl oz bottle of Gelish Nail Surface Cleanse was formulated to lift the sticky inhibition layer left after curing gel polish and to prime the nail for a brilliant top coat.

Compatible with Gelish Top It Off and other LED/UV-cured top coats, it helps produce a consistent, glossy look across all nails.

How does Gelish Nail Surface Cleanse remove tacky residue safely?
