"I did my nails after the kids went to bed on Sunday. They're still perfect. It's been 11 days. I actually cried a little."

Why other options just don't work for mums
Finding the time, booking in advance, organising childcare — and then sitting still for two hours? It stopped being realistic the moment you had kids.
One bath time, one sink of dishes, one school lunch prep — and you're back to bare and chipped. It barely lasts long enough to be worth doing.
The technique is harder than it looks. The results are patchy. The removal ruins your nails. You've probably tried one and sworn off it.
Dipping your nails into a jar, sealing with acrylic, filing everything down — it's a production, and the fumes are not something you want around small children.
At $80+ every 3 weeks, gel nails cost over $1,380 per year. That's before tip, travel, and the guilt of spending that kind of money on yourself.
You haven't given up on yourself. You just need something that actually works
around the life you have — not the one you had before kids.

Frequently asked questions
10 minutes is a realistic average for someone who's done it 2–3 times. We recommend watching the application video before your first attempt, which shortens the learning curve significantly.
Yes — this is the thing we hear most from customers. The mineral bond is genuinely more durable than regular polish and holds up through water exposure, cleaning, and constant handwashing. Most of our customers report 10–14 days of wear.
Completely. Sistaco is 100% odourless — no chemical smell at all, during application or curing. There are no VOCs, no solvent fumes, no off-gassing. You can do your nails with children in the same room without any concern. This is one of the things that makes it fundamentally different from gel systems.
The Starter Kit includes everything you need: the LED lamp, base coat, your chosen colour(s), top coat, and the brush applicator. You do not need to buy anything additional to get started. We also include a free cuticle oil with every kit order — a nice bonus that's especially good if your cuticles have taken a hit from previous gel use.
Fair question — and we hear it often. Most at-home kits fail because the formula is gel-based (meaning it needs precise application, primer, and the same chemical process as a salon) or because the removal is damaging. Sistaco's mineral powder system is genuinely different in how it applies and cures. The self-levelling brush application is forgiving in a way gel isn't.
Removal is simple and gentle — no soaking, no drilling. When you're ready to change colour or take a break, the mineral bond releases cleanly. Full removal instructions are included in the kit. Most women complete removal in under 10 minutes. Your nails are left exactly as they were before application.
