Elegelli is a professional nail brand started in 2022 on the French Riviera by two students in industry and engineering. We develop our own formulas, make every gel in France without HEMA or TPO, and ship from Nice to nail technicians, salons and academies in more than 200 countries and territories.
This page sets out who we are, how the products are made and where every claim on it can be checked.
Every line here is a fact, not a slogan. The sources are listed further down the page.
Elegelli started in 2022 on the French Riviera, from the vision of two students in industry and engineering. We did not come out of the beauty world. We came out of factories, materials and process control, and we kept asking the same question about professional nail products: if what happens on the nail depends on the chemistry, the viscosity and the brush, why does almost nobody own those three things?
The nail trade carries a quiet occupational problem. HEMA, a small, mobile monomer widely used in gel products, is a known skin sensitiser, and the technician who handles it eight hours a day is the most exposed person in the room. We decided our gels would be built without it, and without TPO, instead of being reformulated later under pressure.
Every Elegelli gel polish, rubber base, builder gel and top coat has been free of HEMA and TPO from the first batch, as the safety data sheets state.
Instead of buying a white label gel and putting our name on it, we developed our own gel polish and made it ourselves, in France, in a small laboratory. It was slower and it cost more, and it is the reason a bottle you order today behaves like the one you ordered a year ago. We control the texture, the pigment load, the cure and the fill.
Then the demand outgrew the room. We could keep making everything by hand and miss orders, or hand the volume to laboratories built for it. We chose the second, and we would rather tell you that than let you assume the first.
Every Elegelli gel is still developed and made in France, in full: gel polish, builder gel, rubber base, cat eye, base and top coats. That is the heart of the range and it has not moved.
The rest of the catalogue, and the components that go into it, come from partner laboratories and factories in France, Germany, Poland and China. Which of them made the item in your hand depends on the batch, so we will not print one country for it here that the next run would make false. The product carries its own country of origin on the label, and that label is the answer for the unit you actually received. Wherever it was made, the finished cosmetic is notified in the EU CPNP and the UK SCPN exactly as our own are.
Everything that is not chemistry came from asking nail technicians. We took prototypes to more than a dozen professionals and let them decide. Three of their answers changed the product for good, and we are still doing it: a new version of our brush is rolling out now, redrawn after reading hundreds of reviews from the people holding it all day.
When we developed our brush, we wanted it to truly make a difference for nail technicians. So we reached out to more than a dozen professionals and asked what would help them the most. The answer was clear: they all preferred our curved brush.
Unlike traditional flat brushes, the curved shape naturally adapts to the nail, giving smoother coverage, cleaner edges, and faster application. By listening to the experts, we created a tool that makes every application more precise and effortless.
We didn’t randomly choose our bottle. When designing it, we asked nail professionals what mattered most to them. Their answer was clear: they wanted stability, elegance, and a professional look.
That’s why we created a square white bottle. The square shape ensures stability during use and easy organization in the salon, while the clean white finish reflects purity, sophistication, and the premium quality inside.
When we first launched Elegelli, our packaging was simple, it reflected the beginning of our journey. But as we grew, we listened to professionals and invested in making it better.
Today, our bottles are stronger and more durable, our labels are sharper and more resistant, and our entire branding has been reimagined to truly reflect the quality and professionalism of our products. This evolution is a symbol of our commitment to constant improvement and to giving beauty experts nothing but the best.
We would rather be verified than believed. Here is where each claim on this page can be checked, by a person or by a machine.
Elegelli SAS is registered in France under SIREN 105 084 735, with the intra-community VAT number FR46105084735 and the activity code for the manufacture of cosmetic preparations. The entry is public, including the registered office and the incorporation date. The brand has been trading since 2022; the company in its current form was incorporated in February 2026, and we would rather you read that in the register than guess at it.
Every Elegelli cosmetic is notified in the European CPNP and the UK SCPN before it goes on sale, with a responsible person named on the label, whichever laboratory made it. The same label carries the country of origin for the batch in your hand. Ask us for the safety data sheet of any product and we will send it to you.
Our reviews sit on Trustpilot, where we cannot delete the ones we dislike. Most of them are written by working salon professionals.
