Skip until brand discloses PFAS status; gel polish formulations are opaque.

Harmony Gelish is a gel nail polish brand with no public PFAS disclosure or testing data. Gel polish manufacturers rarely reveal full ingredient lists or PFAS content; the category inherently uses fluorinated resins and solvents whose PFAS status is uncertain. No third-party verification found.

What we don’t know

This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% confidence. It is not a lab result.

No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.

The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.

Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
