# One-Step Gel Manicures Madam Glam Offers Simple At-Home Gel Manicure Cosmetics By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-01-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-home-gel-manicure References: [madamglam](http://www.madamglam.com/one-step-gel/one-step-gel-violet-star.html) As an alternative to visiting the nail salon, there are plenty of [at-home gel manicure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sally-hansen-nail-edit) treatments on the market that have the potential to deliver professional results at a fraction of the cost. However, most of these DIY gel manicures involve the application of a base coat, which needs to be cured before any colored coats are added, which also need to be cured with either a [UV or LED lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-gelcolor-intelligel-system). To simplify this multi-step process, Miss Glam introduced a line of One Step Gelpolish with top and base coats integrated, meaning that curing can happen much less often. The One Step Gel collection includes a range of colors like Minty Glam and Violet Star, as well as a variety of sheer, jelly, iridescent and neon finishes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **At-home Gel Manicures:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the beauty industry by creating more convenient and cost-effective at-home gel manicure products. - **Simplified Application Process:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the cosmetic industry by developing simplified gel manicure products that eliminate the need for multiple steps and curing with UV or LED lamps. - **Wide Range of Finishes:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the nail polish industry by introducing a diverse range of finishes for gel manicures. ### Where This Applies - **Beauty:** Opportunity for the beauty industry to capitalize on the growing demand for at-home gel manicure products. - **Cosmetics:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the cosmetics industry by creating new gel manicure formulations that simplify the application process. - **Nail Polish:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the nail polish industry by expanding the range of finishes available for gel manicures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Two-Step Nail Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gel-couture-collection.md) - [At-Home Gel Polish Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelement.md) - [At-Home Gel Manicure Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athome-gel-manicure.md) - [Ready-to-Apply Gel Nail Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mylee-gel-nail-wraps.md) - [At-Home Nail Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-salon-xtend.md) - [Sunlight-Reactive Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-wear-chill-paint.md) - [Ultra-Chic Gel Nail Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mylee.md) - [Gem-Infused Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabled-gemgel.md) - [Innovative Nail Product Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-products.md)
