14 Day Mani in the Press: Awards, Features & What Everyone’s Saying | 14 Day Mani

14 Day Mani Gel Polish Starter Kit with LED lamp, remover, nail tools, and gel bottles, shown with award badges from The Sunday Times Style Beauty Awards 2025, Social & Personal, IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards, and Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards UK 2023

We started in a kitchen with one mission: make salon-quality nails available to everyone, both pro's and DIYers - no faff, no fluff. Now? We’re showing up in magazines, inboxes, and beauty edits we’ve loved for years. Here’s where we’ve been featured lately (and yes, we’re still pinching ourselves).

1. Arcadia Online: “23 Beauty, Fashion & Boozy Tipples to Shop Right Now”

Arcadia Online called out our HEMA-Free Builder Gel Kit as a summer beauty must-have - sitting proudly next to cult skincare and cheeky cocktail picks. We’ll take that!

"Salon-quality results at home, with none of the fuss."
✔️ Easy to use
✔️ Kind to nails
✔️ One of their top beauty picks

2. Social & Personal: Best Long-Wear Polish Award

We have to say, we were very proud when this one landed. Our Gel Polish picked up Best Long-Wear Polish from Social & Personal magazine. It’s always been our number one aim to create gel polish that actually lasts - so winning this award in recognition of that? It means a lot.

It’s a big yes for colour that lasts and nails that stay glossy all week (and beyond).

3. The Sunday Times Style Beauty Awards

Our HEMA-Free Gel Polish Starter Kit has always been a customer favourite - but now it’s officially getting industry love too. We’re proud to share that our Gentle Gels Kit was shortlisted for The Sunday Times Style Beauty Awards, recognised for its salon-quality finish, beginner-friendly system, and kind-to-nails formula. It’s the kit that proves long-lasting, high-shine nails don’t have to come with compromise.

4. Country & Town House

TikTok’s latest obsession? Princess nails - and our own Julita Fagan was featured breaking down the trend.

She describes it as:

“Clean girl manicure meets royalty - soft shaping, sheer pinks, and nails that look polished but natural.”

Julita also shared how to get the look at home using builder gel (our top recommendation right now is Cotton Candy) for strength, topped with a sheer gel polish for that ‘my nails but better’ glow.  Her tip to elevate it? Try a matte or chrome top coat for a subtle twist.

5. Trustpilot: Shoutout from Our Real Ones

This one’s not from the press - but it matters just as much.
With over 1,000 glowing reviews, you’ve told us our kits are beginner-friendly, long-lasting, and actually work.
One of our faves:

“I’ve always recommended 14 Day Mani to friends, but I’ll be shouting from the rooftops now.”

Same, honestly.

More to Come

We’ve got more features (and surprises) coming - and we’ll keep updating this list as we go.

If you’ve spotted us somewhere we’ve missed, let us know. If you haven’t tried us yet… well, you know what to do.
