Sunday Times Style Awards 2025: 14 Day Mani Shortlisted for Best Gel Polish Kit

Suzanne from 14 Day Mani, shortlisted for Sunday Times Style Awards 2025 for Best Gel Polish Kit - from kitchen table to cult favourite.

14 Day Mani was shortlisted for Best Gel Polish Kit in the Sunday Times Style Awards 2025, recognised as one of the UK's most innovative and trusted at-home nail solutions.

I’m beyond thrilled to share that our HEMA-Free Gel Polish Starter Kit has been shortlisted in the Sunday Times Style Beauty Awards 2025 as the Best Hand and Nail Brand 2025.

This nomination means more to me than I can put into words.  Not just because it's from one of the UK's most trusted beauty platforms - but because it celebrates innovation.  And that's exactly why I started 14 Day Mani.

From My Kitchen Table to the Sunday Times  

Thirteen years ago, I was doing what so many women do - wearing gel polish I couldn't remove from home, frustrated at the lack of options.  There were no beginner-friendly kits, no gentle formulas, no way to skip the salon without quality. 

So I built the solution I wished existed.  A HEMA-free gel polish kit that was safe, easy to use, and actually lasted.  One that didn't damage your nails, didn't cost a fortune, and  didn't need professional training.

What started at my kitchen table has now helped thousands of women in the UK, Ireland, Europe and the US feel more polished - literally and emotionally.

Why This Kit?
The HEMA-Free Gel Polish Starter Kit has become our signature.  It includes:

- Our bestselling long-wear base and top coat
- A selection of gentle, pigment-rich gel shades
- A powerful but compact LED lamp
- And everything else you need for a pro-looking mani at home (without the salon price tag)

And now, it's officially one of the best gel polish kits in the UK, thanks to this incredible shortlist recognition from the Sunday Times.

What's Next?
To be nominated for the Sunday Times Style Awards 2025 in the Most Recognisable Product category is a huge moment - but it's only the beginning.  We've always been about more than polish.  It's the freedom, flexibility, and feeling like yourself (even when your week is a bit of a mess).

So if you've been thinking of trying it, or you're ready to switch to something simpler, gentler, and genuinely award-worthy...
