ACOS is the professional nail range we sell the most of at MV Hair & Beauty: more than 400 products covering gel polish, builder gel, acrylic, nail art, tools, and the lamps, drills and dust collectors that sit on a nail tech's desk. This is the short version, ranked by what actually sells, with what each product is for.
1. Cat eye magnetic gel
Our best-selling ACOS product. Ice Moon Cat Eye Magnetic Gel is a 10ml magnetic gel polish that creates a moving, three-dimensional stripe of light across the nail when a magnet is held over it before curing. Peach Blossom Cat Eye is the translucent, gem-like version, and the 21-colour Cat Eye Collection Kit stocks a full range in one box.
2. Builder Gel in a Bottle
Builder Gel in a Bottle is a 15ml LED- and UV-curable hard gel for adding structure, extending nails and creating overlays, in 22 colours, with a brush in the cap so there is no scooping from a jar. The clear version is the one for overlays and apex work under colour. Which builder format to use when is in our ACOS builder gel guide.
3. Non-Wipe Liner Gel
The nail-art line gel. Non-Wipe Liner Nail Art Gel has a smooth drawing consistency for fine lines, outlines and detail, and cures without a sticky layer to wipe away. Pair it with the liner brushes in 5mm to 25mm.
4. Rechargeable Nail Dust Collector
The Rechargeable Nail Dust Collector pulls in the fine dust from filing acrylic, builder gel and gel, and runs without a cord so it moves between stations. If you file enhancements, it belongs on the desk.
5. Non-wipe top coats
Non-Wipe Glossy Top Coat for a high-gloss finish with no wipe step, and Non-Wipe Matte Top Coat for a smooth, velvety matte finish without sticky residue.
6. Gel Colour Base Coat
The Gel Colour Base Coat is an odourless, non-yellowing base that gives gel colour a strong foundation to grip, with 100ml and 1-litre refills for salons that go through it by the bottle. For a base with more body, see Rubber Base in our ACOS gel polish guide.
7. Files
The Endurance Premium Files have a straight edge on one side and a moon-contoured edge on the other, for every stage of an enhancement. The 100/180 files come in packs of up to 50 for reducing and refining.
8. Acrylic
High Performance Acrylic Liquid is an MMA-free monomer for strong, flexible acrylic enhancements, and Clear Acrylic Powder comes in four sizes, from 80g for training to 1kg for salon stock.
9. Nail lamps
The ACOS PRO Rechargeable Cordless Lamp runs 42 dual-source LEDs at 96 watts and cures LED and UV gel products without a cord. The 96W rechargeable lamp adds a removable magnetic tray that lifts out for cleaning.
10. Soft gel tips and Liquid Nail Tips Gel
Full-cover soft gel tips, 312 to a box in 12 sizes, in square, almond and medium coffin, bonded with Liquid Nail Tips Gel, a self-levelling builder gel made for lightweight extensions.
11. Cuticle care
Cuticle Remover Gel softens dead cuticle for clean prep, and the N002 7mm nipper and P001 double-ended pusher are the stainless-steel tools that go with it.
12. Nail drill and bits
The Premium Portable Brushless Nail Drill is a rechargeable, cordless e-file for professional work. Bits are sold individually, from the Bit020 conical round for detail around the cuticle to the 6.6mm large barrel tungsten carbide bit with a smooth safety top. Browse them all on the drill bits page.
13. Blooming Gel
Blooming Gel spreads the colour dropped into it, which is how marble, watercolour, stone and floral effects are made: apply it over cured colour, drop or swirl gel colour in, and let it bloom.
14. Gel polish colours
ACOS gel colour comes in two systems, Magic Beauty and HEMA-Free, with hundreds of shades between them. The difference, and which base and top coat to use, is in our ACOS gel polish guide.
