Glayvia — Australian beauty for nails and skincare at home
Glayvia is an Australian-owned beauty brand specialising in semi-cured gel nail wraps, nail essentials and salon-style skincare routines designed for convenient use at home.
Designed and formulated in Melbourne, Glayvia focuses on practical beauty routines that combine salon-inspired results with simple application, straightforward instructions and products suited to everyday life.
Our two core beauty categories are semi-cured gel nails and skincare. Customers can create polished gel-look manicures at home using Glayvia nail wraps and LED curing accessories, or follow structured facial routines using our skincare kits and everyday skincare essentials.
Semi-cured gel nail wraps
Glayvia semi-cured gel nail wraps are designed as an alternative to traditional nail polish, press-on nails and frequent salon gel manicures. The flexible gel strips are applied directly to prepared natural nails, shaped to fit and cured using an LED nail lamp.
The collection includes a growing range of nail designs including French tips, neutral shades, solid colours, glitter, shimmer, chrome, metallic, ombré, floral and nail art styles.
Customers new to semi-cured gel nails can also choose nail starter kits and compatible LED nail lamps containing the essentials required to begin an at-home gel nail routine.

How semi-cured gel nail wraps work
The application routine begins by cleaning and preparing the natural nail. A correctly sized gel strip is applied to the nail, pressed firmly around the edges, trimmed and filed to shape, then cured under a compatible LED lamp.
Correct nail preparation, sizing, edge adhesion and curing are important for achieving a smooth finish and longer-lasting wear.
Gel nail designs for different styles
Glayvia nail designs range from understated everyday manicures to statement finishes. Popular styles include French nail wraps, neutral gel nails, glitter nail wraps, chrome nails, metallic nails, floral nail designs, ombré nails and solid colour gel wraps.
The range is designed for customers looking for convenient at-home nails for everyday wear, work, travel, weddings, events, holidays and last-minute occasions without needing a salon appointment.
Salon-style skincare routines at home
Alongside nails, Glayvia creates structured skincare routines and everyday skincare essentials designed to bring the experience of a professional-style facial into the home.
Glayvia facial kits use individually organised steps so customers can follow a complete skincare ritual without purchasing and combining numerous individual products.
Skincare formulations feature ingredients including Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, Niacinamide, Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil, Witch Hazel, Squalane, Shea Butter and selected botanical ingredients depending on the product.
The Glayvia 5-step facial routine
Glayvia facial kits follow a guided five-step routine: Cleanser → Exfoliating Polish → Massage → Clay Mask → Serum.
The complete routine is designed for an approximately 20-minute self-care session at home, with individual steps organised in the correct sequence.

What are Glayvia semi-cured gel nail wraps?
Glayvia semi-cured gel nail wraps are flexible strips made from real gel polish that arrive partially cured. They remain flexible while you size and apply them to the natural nail, then become firmer after curing under a compatible UV/LED nail lamp.
Unlike wet nail polish, the colour and design are already formed on the strip. Unlike press-on nails, the wraps follow the shape and length of your natural nail rather than adding an artificial nail over the top.

How do you apply semi-cured gel nail wraps?
Start with clean and completely dry natural nails. Prepare the nail surface, select the closest wrap size, position the strip just above the cuticle, smooth it firmly across the nail, remove the excess and finish by curing under a compatible LED lamp.
Glayvia wraps are designed to cure in 60 seconds under a compatible LED lamp. A complete manicure can be applied in around 15 minutes.
