This system is the only one of its type in the nail industry and it has revolutionized the nail industry. The Powder Gel System provides the highest quality product in gel nail enhancements. The Powder Gel is a unique standalone nail enhancement system that helps nail technicians create nails that are not only beautiful, but strong and durable as well.

LeChat also manufactures its own brand of nail polishes, which includes the ultimate in color-changing polishes — the Dare 2 Wear 5-N-One polishes. The unique formula can create five different polish colors with just the one bottle. The company also offers nail art paints and manufactures private label polishes for many customers.
