Illuminating Nail Whitener

The Illuminating Nail Whitener instantly brightens dull, yellowed nails with a healthy-looking pearlescent glow. Formulated with Citric Acid to neutralise yellowing, Vitamin E to nourish and protect, and Lemon and Lime Tree Extracts to hydrate and refresh, it delivers real nail care benefits alongside an instantly luminous finish. Wear it alone on bare nails for a clean, glossy look or as a base under light, nude, or sheer air-dry nail polish shades to make colour really pop.

Both treatments target dull, tired-looking nails but they deliver a different finish. The Illuminating Nail Whitener has a luminous, pearlescent finish that more visibly whitens and illuminates the nail, ideal if you want a high-impact glow or a bright base under lighter polish shades. The Nail Brightener gives a sheerer, glossy pink finish for a more subtle, everyday clean girl nail look. If you want soft and natural, go for the Brightener. If you want bright and luminous, the Whitener is your match.

No. The Illuminating Nail Whitener is an air-dry treatment and is not designed for use under gel polish. It works best on bare nails as a standalone treatment or as a base under air-dry nail polish. For nail care tips on what to do between gel manicures, visit our Mani School section.

Apply 1 to 2 thin coats directly onto clean, bare nails and let each coat dry fully before applying the next. Reapply every few days and after 3 applications, remove with our Acetone-free Liquid Remover before starting again to prevent product build-up and keep the nail surface clean. It also works as a brightening base under light or sheer air-dry nail polish shades.

For a complete nail care routine, the Illuminating Nail Whitener pairs perfectly with our Cuticle Oil Pen to keep cuticles soft, hydrated, and healthy-looking while you wear it. Together they cover everything your nails need to look and feel their best between manicures.
