Chapter oneThe Inventor’s Notes

She drew the category.
Then she redrew it.

SOFGEL Legacy shades on soft gel tips, flat lay
“I invented this category. This is my second draft.”
Carol Ma — Founder, SOFGEL

The full-cover soft gel extension began as one inventor’s answer to hours of hand sculpting: a pre-formed tip, an adhesive gel, a cure. It turned length from a forty-minute craft into a ten-minute ritual — and it changed how the world wears nails.

SOFGEL is her return to the drawing board. The same category, rebuilt around a stricter question — what belongs on a working hand, every day? The answer left two of the industry’s oldest monomers out of the bottle entirely.

i.

The category, invented

Pre-formed full-cover soft gel — the system salons everywhere now call a standard.

ii.

The chemistry, questioned

Dermatologists were flagging HEMA sensitization across the industry. She listened early.

iii.

The system, redrawn

One system — tips, adhesive, color, cure — with the color line and base drawn HEMA- and TPO-free by design.

Chapter twoThe Collection

Six pieces. One system.

Nothing here is an accessory. Tips are sized to the gel, gel is tuned to the lamp — every piece speaks to every other.

Chapter threeThe Ritual

Minutes, not hours.

The soft gel ritual replaced forty minutes of sculpting with four quiet steps. This is the whole ceremony.

01
Prep
01

Prep

Cleanse, push back, gently buff. The natural nail stays natural — no drilling it flat, no aggressive filing.

02

Fit

Twelve shapes, fifteen sizes each. The right tip is the one that disappears at the cuticle line.

03

Cure

Seat the tip in adhesive gel and cure under LED. Full cure, always — that is the whole safety contract.

04

Wear

Weeks of structure that soaks off clean when you are done. No prying, no drilling, no damage ritual.

Chapter fourThe Formula

What we left out.

HEMA  ·  TPO

Without HEMA

The industry’s workhorse monomer is also its most common sensitizer. The Legacy colors and Butter Base Gel are poured without it — lowering exposure for the hands that work in gel all day.

Without TPO

The photoinitiator recently pulled from shelves across Europe. The Legacy line cures without it — a color system built to clear the strictest bar in the world.

With full disclosure

Complete INCI on every product page. No “trade secret” blanks, no asterisks. Read the bottle before it ever touches a client.

Straight talk: HEMA-free lowers exposure to the most common culprit — it does not make anyone allergy-proof. Gloves on, flood-free application, full cure, every time. That honesty is part of the formula too.

Chapter fiveFor Professionals

Built for working hands.

SOFGEL is a pro system first. If your hands are your paycheck, the details below are for you.

a.

Education

Application curricula, cure specifications and prep protocol — written for the salon floor, not the marketing page.

b.

Transparency

Full ingredient lists published for every SKU. Know exactly what is in the bottle — and what deliberately is not.

c.

Wholesale

Direct partnership with the studio — no middle layer. Stock the system your clients are already asking about.
