The New UV-Free Drop: Three Edits to Match Every Mood

The UV-Free range just got bigger.

We've added 19 new shades to the collection — split across three brand-new Edits, each curated for a different mood. One leans into the season ahead. The other two are year-round. All of them apply in minutes, with no UV lamp needed.

Every shade is $22, or $16.50 each when you buy any 4. Build your own Edit, mix across Edits, or grab the full set of one — the choice is yours.

Here's what's landed.

Winter Layers Edit

Rich, grounded tones inspired by winter layering.

Deep, earthy shades and elevated jewel tones designed to pair perfectly with cosy knits, oversized coats and cooler days ahead.

This is the Edit for the months when your wardrobe shifts into deeper colour territory. Think wine-stained lips, soft wool, a glass of red. Nails that feel like they belong with the season — not fighting it.

What's in the Edit:

- Burnt Umber — a deep mahogany-oxblood that frames the season beautifully
- Charcoal — the cool-girl alternative to black
- Moss — earthy, grounded, surprisingly year-round
- Eggplant — regal, jewel-toned, made for winter parties
- Bottle Green — a vintage classic that always works
- Royal Blue — wardrobe-staple framing in a deeper register

Modern Muse Edit

Elevated neutrals, soft statement details and modern finishes.

Designed to turn everyday nails into the finishing touch — from glossy marble effects to subtle shimmer and fashion-inspired details. These are the styles made to elevate your everyday wardrobe, season after season.

This Edit is for the days you want your nails to *say something* — but quietly. A bit artistic. A bit considered. The mani equivalent of slow fashion.

What's in the Edit:

- Sea Glass — soft, glassy, oceanic
- Cream Goddess — a warm, elevated cream neutral
- French Leopard — soft animal print done minimally
- Marble Mood — glossy marbled detail
- Mermaid Jewel — iridescent shimmer with depth
- Vanilla Slice — soft layered vanilla cream
- Cream Drop — a quiet, milky everyday shade

The Colour Edit

Everyday colour, made effortless.

A curated collection of glossy pastels, rich tones and modern colour staples designed for easy, no-lamp manicures.

From soft lilac and seafoam green to bold red and peacock blue, these are the shades made to brighten your nail wardrobe year-round.

This Edit is for the days you want a hit of colour without overthinking it. Statement reds for the weekend. Soft pastels for the school run. Year-round staples that pair with everything in your shoe rack.

What's in the Edit:

- Purple Fields — deep, dreamy purple
- Apricot Delight — soft, sun-warmed peach
- Lilac — pretty, fresh, a little nostalgic
- Scarlett Red — a statement red with attitude
- Seafoam Green — pastel and breezy
- Peacock Blue — vivid, glossy, unexpected

How to choose your Edit

If you're not sure where to start, ask yourself what you're dressing for:

- Cooler weather + a darker wardrobe? Start with Winter Layers.
- Want something a little artistic or design-led? Try Modern Muse.
- After a hit of colour you'll wear all year? The Colour Edit has you covered.

Or — and we recommend this often — pick one from each. Building a little "nail wardrobe" you can rotate through is half the fun of doing your own nails at home.

A quick value note: every shade is $22 individually, or $16.50 each when you buy any 4 — across the same Edit or mixed. So a starter set of 4 lands at $66, which is genuinely brilliant value for a few weeks of fresh manis.

Why UV-Free?

A quick refresher in case you're new here.

Our UV-Free Gel Nail Wraps are real gel — fully cured during manufacture — so when you apply them at home there's no lamp, no curing step, and no UV exposure.

Just peel, press, file. Done in minutes.

They're brilliant for:

- Beginners who want a foolproof at-home mani
- Anyone who'd rather skip UV altogether
- Travellers who don't want to pack a lamp
- Busy weeks when you want a fresh set in 10 minutes flat

If you're more of a long-wear, full-strength fan, our Semi-Cured range is right there too. Different routine, same LA-BEK quality.

New UV-Free Collection FAQs

How are these different from the existing UV-Free shades?

Same beautiful UV-Free quality — real gel, fully cured, no lamp needed.

What's new is the curation. These 19 shades have been grouped into three intentional Edits, each designed around a different mood and styling moment. Think of it as making it easier to pick the right shade for what you're actually wearing this week.

⸻

Are all 19 shades live on the site now?

Yes — every shade in all three Edits is now live in our UV-Free range.

⸻

How much do the new shades cost?

Every UV-Free shade is:
- $22 for one set
- $16.50 each when you buy any 4 — across the same Edit or mixed however you like

So 4 sets together is $66 — enough to last you weeks of fresh manis.

⸻

Do I need a UV lamp for these?

No. UV-Free wraps are fully cured during manufacture, so you don't need a lamp.

Just:
- Peel the wrap from the backing
- Press onto your nail
- File the excess at the tip

That's the whole routine.

⸻

How long do UV-Free wraps last?

Typically 7–10 days with proper prep and daily cuticle oil.

If you'd like longer wear, our Semi-Cured range lasts up to 2+ weeks (but does require a UV lamp).

For tips on making any of your wraps last longer, our Why Are My Gel Nail Wraps Lifting? 7 Quick Fixes post covers everything.

⸻

Can I mix shades across Edits?

Absolutely — the Edits are about helping you discover what suits your style, not putting you in a box.

A common move:
- A Winter Layers statement shade for one set
- A Modern Muse soft neutral for the next
- A Colour Edit brightener for when the mood strikes

Build the rotation that works for your week.

⸻

Which Edit suits beginners best?

All of them work for beginners — UV-Free wraps are genuinely beginner-friendly across the range.

If you're brand new and want a safe starting point:
- The Colour Edit for fresh, glossy, easy-to-wear colour
- Modern Muse if you'd prefer neutrals to ease in with

Once you're confident, you can layer in the deeper or more statement shades from Winter Layers.

⸻

Are these vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes — all LA-BEK gel nail wraps are vegan and cruelty-free, including every shade in this new drop.

⸻

Will more shades be added to these Edits?

We'd love to. As we see which shades are most loved, the Edits will grow.
