The Red Iguana brand is known for its quality silicone hands that sell out in hours. Fans of the sought-after practice hands can now purchase a wide range of Red Iguana nail products to create beautiful, on-trend looks with the same quality and sophistication they’ve come to expect from the brand.
Red Iguana founder April Ryan has been a nail professional both in the U.S.A. and in her native Russia. Her brand of simple, elegant, and beautifully styled nail content made her social media channels popular within the beauty community. Ryan now brings that same look and expertise to a line of superior builder gels, acrygels, acrylics, gel-polishes, and nail art products that will be released between August and December 2020. Also included in this mega launch will be a line of nail tools, forms, and tips, so Red Iguana fans will have everything they need to create extraordinary nails.
In a time when few nail brands are able to bring new releases to the market, Red Iguana will be adding over 40 new products to its site, giving nail lovers something to look forward to. Current site offerings include:
Red Iguana’s newest product—Thermo Liquid—creates a mood ring-effect on nails that’s eye-catching and made for social media. Apply Thermo Liquid over a dark gel-polish that has been cured. Allow to air dry before applying a top coat. The result is a color-changing design that shifts based on temperature. Thermo Liquid comes in a gold 2g glass jar and is available at red-iguana.com for $19.95.
Use Thermo Liquid with Red Iguana’s Stamping + Paint Gel for highly pigmented art. Perfect for stamping or painting, the 2-in-1 gel comes in black, white, and silver. Stamping + Paint Gel is available in an 8g tube for $10.95 at red-iguana.com.

GemGel and Sealing GemGel keep bling adhered to nails. Red Iguana GemGel is a thick gel that is applied to the nail and left uncured. Place stones and charms in the gel, then cure for 1-2 minutes for strong adhesion. GemGel is available in a 5g jar for $14.95 at red-iguana.com. Sealing GemGel is a liquid gel that seals in crystals to stay on the nail even longer with the help of its tiny brush and nozzle. Use it with GemGel for maximum staying power. After GemGel has cured, apply Sealing GemGel with precision nozzle between and around crystals. Cure in UV/LED lamp for another 1-2 minutes and remove tacky layer. Sealing GemGel comes in a 10 ml bottle and is available for $14.95 at red-iguana.com.
Create straight or random lines for cool nail art looks with Red Iguana Spider Gel in black or white. Jars of 5g are available for $14.95 at red-iguana.com.
