What does Chaun Legend make?

Chaun Legend is the nail line designed by the celebrity nail artist of the same name, with a loyal following in Vietnamese-American salons. At DTK the brand covers gel polish numbered LG5001 to LG5240 (sold as single bottles, three-bottle trios, themed bundles and full libraries), acrylic powder jars, the LGND 100% Kolinsky acrylic brush and its own gel base coat and non-wipe top coat.

How long do I cure Chaun Legend gel?

Cure the Chaun Legend base for 60 seconds under an LED lamp or 2 minutes under UV, capping the free edge. Apply two thin color coats and cure each one for the same time, then seal with the non-wipe top coat, which leaves no sticky layer to wipe off. With the full base, color and top system the brand lists up to three weeks of wear.

How do I use Chaun Legend acrylic powder?

Prep the nail and apply a thin layer of a non-acid primer, keeping it off the skin and letting it air-dry. Dip the Kolinsky brush into EMA monomer, touch the powder to form a smooth bead, place it near the cuticle area and shape the nail, letting it self-level. Acrylic sets in open air with no lamp; file once hard and finish with a top coat. The brand says the powder works with most professional monomers.

How do I care for the LGND Kolinsky brush?

Clean a new brush in monomer before its first set, rinse it in monomer between beads and never use acetone on it; the brand's care steps use monomer only. After work, reshape the tip, put the cap back on and store the brush flat or bristles-down. Size #10 is the brand's standard all-round size, and the LGND line runs from #8 up to #18 for larger extension work.

Do Chaun Legend trios and bundles cost less per bottle?

Not on the listings we checked: trios, bundles, volumes and the 240-color library are priced at the single-bottle price multiplied by the number of bottles. Their value is convenience, since a trio brings the base and top with the color and a bundle lands a pre-matched palette at once. Some titles name a free gift, so read the listing and compare with the singles you need.

The whole Chaun Legend line on one page

Chaun Legend is the nail line designed by the celebrity nail artist of the same name, and it has a loyal following in Vietnamese-American salons. Most people know it for gel polish, but the brand also makes acrylic powder, a 100% Kolinsky acrylic brush and its own base and top coats. This page collects every Chaun Legend listing at DTK in one grid, so a tech can stock a gel wall and an acrylic station from the same brand.

There are four groups in the grid: gel polish (single bottles, three-bottle trios, themed bundles and full libraries), acrylic powder jars, LGND Kolinsky brushes, and the base, non-wipe top and duo that finish a gel service. The sections below explain what each group is, how they fit together, and where to go when you want only one of them.

Gel polish: single shades, trios and libraries

The gel is richly pigmented with a creamy texture that usually covers in one or two coats, and it stays where you place it instead of flooding toward the cuticle. Shades run from LG5001 to LG5240. For a page built only around the gel numbers, color families and seasonal shelves, open LG5001 to LG5240 shades; this page keeps the gel part short and focuses on how the formats differ.

Gel trios with base and top

Most numbered shades are also listed as a Gel Trio: the color bottle plus the Chaun Legend base and the non-wipe top. There are about 160 trio listings, and most are in stock. A trio is priced the same as the three bottles bought separately; its value is that a new color arrives with the system it needs. The same base and top are grouped in gel trios with base and top.

Bundles, volumes and the 240-color library

For larger orders the brand groups shades into themed sets. In stock right now you will find six-color bundles such as Volume 2 Summer, Dreamy Pastels, Mauves + Aunties, Spring Gel, Brightest Neons, V.2 Spring and The Nail Artiste, the ten-color After Dark set, the twenty-color Sheers & Tones set and a Build Your Own 10 kit. Above those sit Vol. 1 (80 colors), Vol. 2.1 and Vol. 2.2 (65 colors each) and the full 240-color library. Some of these titles name a free gift, so read the listing for the exact add-on. The bundles are gathered in themed six-color bundles, and the newer numbers in the Back and Bolder release.

Chaun Legend acrylic powder

The acrylic powder is the second half of the brand. The product listings describe a smooth finish that looks close to gel polish, no marbling or pixelation, and a balanced drying time that keeps both speed and control. The brand makes 80 colors in 1 oz and 2 oz jars, and DTK lists more than 80 powder jars, about 70 of them in stock at the moment.

Codes in the A100 range are the color shades. In stock today are, for example, A121 Happy Place, A129 Runway, A132 Fluffy Tail, A137 Vibin', A143 Muted, A144 Stormy Violet, A145 Ube Jam, A147 Sage It, A148 Mint to Be, A163 Berry Blush, A169 Vintage, A171 Bed of Roses and A176 Legend. The A400 codes are the signature, clear and pink powders: A401 LGND Signature Color, A402 Clear and the three pinks A404 Light Pink, A405 Medium Pink and A406 Dark Pink. Every powder jar is listed on its own in Chaun Legend powder jars.

How to apply Chaun Legend acrylic

Prep: push back the cuticle, remove the shine, then cleanse and dehydrate the nail plate.
Prime: apply a thin, even layer of a non-acid acrylic primer to the natural nail only, keeping it off the skin, and let it air-dry completely.
Pick up a bead: dip the Kolinsky brush into EMA monomer, wipe the excess on the side of the dappen dish, then touch the brush tip to the powder to form a smooth bead.
Place and sculpt: set the bead near the cuticle area and shape the nail, letting the product self-level.
Let it set: acrylic sets in open air, with no lamp.
Finish: file and shape once it has hardened, then seal with a top coat.

The brand says the powder is optimized for its own EMA monomer but works with most professional-grade monomers. DTK's liquids are on the EMA liquids from other brands page. To compare the powder with other makers, see acrylic powder beyond Chaun Legend.

LGND 100% Kolinsky acrylic brushes

The brush that goes with the powder is the LGND 100% Kolinsky Acrylic Brush, made with natural Kolinsky hair and an acetone-resistant ferrule and base. It comes in sizes #8 to #18; size #10 is the brand's standard all-round size, and the sizes from #10 up are the range used for extension work. Stock moves by size, so check the listing before you order a specific number. The full set of sizes is in LGND Kolinsky brushes, and other makers' brushes are in other acrylic brush makers.

First use: clean the new brush in monomer before the first set.
During the set: rinse it in monomer between beads.
Never acetone: the brand's care steps use monomer only, never acetone.
After work: reshape the tip, cap it, and store the brush flat or bristles-down.

Base, non-wipe top and the duo

For gel services the brand makes its own Gel Base Coat and Non-Wipe Top Coat, also sold together as a duo. Cure the base for 60 seconds under LED or 2 minutes under UV, cap the free edge, apply two thin color coats on the same cure time, then seal with the non-wipe top, which cures to a shine with no sticky layer to remove. With the full base, color and top system the brand lists up to three weeks of wear. The base and top on their own are in Chaun Legend base and top, and a curing lamp comes from lamps for 60-second LED cures.

Nail art ideas from the brand's own palette

The brand's own seasonal notes pair specific numbers into ready-made looks, and every shade named below is in stock as a single bottle right now:

Pastel skittle set: one color per nail with LG5034 Powder Room, LG5037 Baby Doll, LG5043 Mint Condition, LG5041 Fia-Get-Me-Not and LG5045 Teal the Deal.
Floral accent: a Baby Doll or Powder Room base with tiny flowers, using Fia-Get-Me-Not for the centers and Mint Condition for the leaves.
Soft French: a true white tip over Powder Room or LG5042 Peach Please.
Pastel gradient: sponge LG5125 Blushin' & Crushin' into Peach Please for a soft peach ombre.
Valentine's, soft: a Baby Doll base with heart sticker sheets and LG5024 Hugs & Kisses on one accent nail.
Valentine's, bold: LG5079 King of Hearts as a solid color, with a matte top on a single accent nail.

Storing powder, brushes and gel

Keep acrylic powder jars tightly sealed and away from heat and sunlight so the powder keeps its consistency. Store the Kolinsky brush capped and flat or bristles-down, as above. Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and sunny windows, because stray UV can thicken gel in the bottle neck, and wipe the neck before closing so the cap does not stick.

Which part of the line to start with

A gel-only home studio: start with the base and top duo and a handful of trios, then add singles.
A salon adding Chaun Legend colors: a volume or the 240-color library lands a whole run of numbers at once.
An acrylic tech: pick the signature, clear and pink powders (A401, A402, A404 to A406), a few color jars and a #10 or larger LGND brush.
Seasonal displays: the six-color bundles are pre-matched themes, which saves building a palette shade by shade.

Prices and value

Prices are on each listing. On the listings we checked, trios, bundles, volumes and the library are priced at the single price multiplied by the number of bottles, so their value is convenience and pre-matched colors rather than a lower price per bottle. Compare the set with the singles you actually need before you choose.

HEMA and sensitive clients

The Chaun Legend listings and the brand information we work from do not describe these gels as HEMA-free or TPO-free, so treat them as standard gel and read each label. If a client needs a HEMA-free option, see gel lines labelled HEMA-free.
