Short answer? Absolutely yes! UV gel polish isn’t just for fingernails - it’s also a fantastic choice for pedicures. In fact, a well-done UV gel pedicure can last even longer than a manicure, keeping your toes looking flawless for weeks, even on beach holidays or pool days.
Let’s break down the essentials of doing a safe, long-lasting UV gel pedicure at home or in the salon.
Why Choose UV Gel Polish for Your Toes?
-
Longer wear - Toes grow more slowly than fingers, so UV gel polish can last up to 4–6 weeks without chipping.
-
Shine & colour intensity - Semilac’s UV gel polishes stay glossy and vibrant, even after days in sandals or by the sea.
-
Perfect for holidays - No touch-ups needed while you’re travelling or on the beach.
How to Do a UV Gel Pedicure at Home (Step-by-Step)
-
Clean & prep the nails
Gently file, push back cuticles, and buff the nail plate. Make sure feet are clean and completely dry. -
Dehydrate & prime
Use a nail cleaner or degreaser to remove oils and apply a primer (if needed) to improve adhesion. -
Base coat
Apply a thin layer of Semilac Base, cure under a UV/LED lamp. -
Colour time!
Choose your shade (see ideas below 👇), apply 1–2 thin coats, curing each layer fully. -
Top it off
Apply Semilac Top No Wipe or Top Mat Total, cure, and you're done. No wiping needed.

Important Tips
-
Don’t apply thick layers - it’s better to build colour gradually.
-
Always cure each layer fully to avoid wrinkling or lifting.
-
Make sure to cap the free edge to lock in the colour.
-
Don’t skip prep - clean, dry nails are essential for staying power.
