One Gel Color
Do I have to apply a top coat over One Gel?

While One Gel provides everything you need in a single layer, we also offer the One Gel Top Coat, designed to enhance your manicure and provide even better 14-day wear. With the addition of the top coat, you’ll experience even more shine and durability on top of what One Gel already offers.

How thick or thin of a layer should I apply?

For One Gel solid colors, each layer applied should be thin. One layer will provide you with a full, flawless coverage, however you may apply a second coat if you desire extra opacity. When using One Gel Magnetic, be sure to only apply one layer, thicker than you would for color, before activating the effects with the magnet tool.

Can I use the Mini LED Lamp to cure One Gel?

No, all One Gel Products must be cured with the One Gel lamp, as any lesser wattage will not fully cure the gel, leaving the polish dull and gummy.

How do I remove One Gel?

Blot a thick layer of our NEW One Gel Magic Off onto nails. After 3 minutes, the remover will begin activating, however you may experience best results by waiting 5-7 minutes. Once gel begins to bubble off, use the included tool to push gel off nails. Repeat until all gel is removed.

For removal, please note that One Gel is only compatible with our One Gel Magic Off. Magic Off+ is not designed to remove One Gel and may cause further damage if paired with the attempt to force polish off nails.

Is One Gel HEMA-free?

All One Gel polishes do currently contain HEMA, however, we are working to develop a HEMA-free version in the future!

I’m experiencing chipping before day 14. How can I prevent this from happening?

If you’re experiencing premature chipping, be sure to cap your free edge to help seal the edges of your manicure/pedicure. For a visual of how to do so, see the following tutorial.

    The best color

    I find the One Gel lasts about a week for me before chipping. I am pretty rough on my nails/hands since I’m a nurse (this may be a personal problem). Even though it doesn’t last as long as I would hope, I still give it 5 stars because it’s easy to use and easy to remove with minimal damage. I wasted so much time and money going to the nail salon for the same look.

    Please add more colors!

    Attention
    Rated 2 out of 5 stars
    :( Allergic Reaction to ingredients

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT if you have sensitive skin. I had a small amount drop onto my finger before curing and it burned my skin, in a chemical-sensation-stinging kind of way :(

    It wasn't till after experiencing this burning that I saw HEMA mentioned in the dashing diva FAQ as a potential irritating ingredient. And after viewing the other ingredients for this product, it has the ingredient TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) which has been banned in the EU as of September 2025. After reading this, and burning myself, it makes me want to throw away these products.

    When I do get this product to work for me, I love it, but my gosh it is still sometimes a hit-or-miss. Sometimes the polish doesn't fully cure, and other times it works but chips quickly without adding multiple layers and a topcoat. But when it works, it offers me the flexibility of adding my own designs and charms to my manicure, which is why I give it two stars for the times when it works.

    When removing the one gel, I've also found the remover to be extremely irritating/burning when it comes in contact with my skin outside of the nail. A painful, messy, uncomfortable experience that typically takes 3 or 4 tries to fully remove the product.

    I love dashing diva's gloss, glaze, and press-ons, but this one needs a lot of work before I'd recommend it to anyone.

    Not for me

    I LOVE Dashing Diva! I love anything to do with nails, however, the polish was a no go for me. Chipped the next day, not glossy, and the remover is a mess, just for the polish to peel right off. I'm a nail gloss junkie so I'm sad to see that this was a miss. I will still continue to purchase gloss strips, glaze, and magicpress. Just the polish was not for me.

    Aristocrat
    Rated 1 out of 5 stars
    Dissapointed Long Time Customer

    I have been shopping Dashing Diva for years, my most recent obsession was the gel strip but decided to try the gel polish as it seems more eco-friendly that constantly ordering strips. I am so disappointed. My manicure lasts at most two days before it begins to chip, similar to if I was just using real nail polish. Additionally, the One Gel Magic does a terrible job of removing the remaining gel. I have to scrape my nails in order to get those color off. Very disapointed.
