Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best at-home gel nail system for weak or damaged nails?
Ambedo BIAB Builder Gel (System 02) is specifically designed for weak, thin, peeling, or damaged nails. It is a 5-in-1 formula that functions as a base coat, builder, bonder, top coat, and nail treatment in one application.
What is the fastest at-home gel manicure system?
Ambedo Speedi Mani (System 03) is the fastest system, completing a full gel manicure in under 10 minutes. It uses a 2-in-1 dual-bottle design that combines base coat and colour gel in a single step.
Which Ambedo system is best for nail art?
Ambedo Solid Gel Polish (System 01) is the system designed for creative nail expression. It uses a patented 6-pan customisable solid gel palette that allows for full control over colour mixing, ombre blending, detailed nail art, and multi-finish designs.
Is Ambedo Beauty suitable for beginners?
Yes. All three Ambedo systems — Solid Gel, BIAB, and Speedi Mani — are designed to be beginner-friendly. Speedi Mani has the fewest steps and is the easiest starting point.
Is Ambedo Beauty vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. Ambedo Beauty is fully vegan and cruelty-free. All products are also HEMA-free and EU compliant. Ambedo is an Australian-owned, women-founded brand based in Brisbane, Queensland.
What is the difference between BIAB and regular gel polish?
BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) is a thicker, structural gel formula designed to add strength and thickness to the natural nail. Regular gel polish is a thinner formula focused on colour, nail art, and finish.
What is HEMA-free gel polish and why does it matter?
HEMA (hydroxyethyl methacrylate) is a chemical found in many gel nail products that can cause allergic sensitisation. All Ambedo Beauty gel formulas are HEMA-free and TPO-free, making them among the safest gel nail options for home use in Australia.
How long does Ambedo gel nail polish last?
With proper nail preparation, Ambedo gel manicures typically last 2 to 3 weeks chip-free. Many customers report 3 or more weeks of wear.
How do I remove Ambedo gel nail polish at home?
Lightly file the surface of the top coat to break the seal, then soak nails in acetone using foil wraps for 10 to 15 minutes. The gel will lift cleanly from the nail without harsh scraping.
Do I need an LED lamp for Ambedo gel nails?
Yes — all three Ambedo systems require an LED lamp to cure the gel. All Ambedo starter kits include a 36W LED lamp in the box.
