Frequently Asked Questions

Crisania Neri is a Canadian professional nail brand  specializing in 3D nail art sculpting gels, gel polish, and nail art education. Our products are designed for salon professionals and serious nail artists who want high-performance materials for detailed nail art designs, character nails, and content creation.

Our Cris Clay 3D Sculpting Gels are formulated specifically for 3D nail art, with a thick, sculptable texture that holds its shape, doesn’t run or collapse while you work, and feels non-sticky on the brush and gloves. They’re designed for building 3D charms, characters, kawaii designs, and textured details, not for full nail structure like traditional builder gels. All formulas are PETA-certified vegan and cruelty-free, developed in-house and in collaboration with GMP ISO 22716 certified labs.

All of our products are certified vegan, cruelty-free and TPO-free, and most are also HEMA-free. Full ingredient and safety information is available on request via our Safety Data Sheets (SDS). If you need details for a specific product, please contact us and we’ll be happy to provide the SDS.

Beginning with these products and resources will make learning 3D techniques much easier and more enjoyable.
