How many Chaun Legend gel polish colors are there?

The numbered chart runs from LG5001 to LG5240, so there are 240 single shades, and every one of them has its own listing on this page. The same shades are also sold in themed 6 and 10-color bundles, in the Vol. 1, Vol. 2.1 and Vol. 2.2 sets, and in a 240-color library for salons that want the whole chart at once.

How long do I cure Chaun Legend gel polish?

Cure the base coat, each color coat and the top coat for 60 seconds under an LED lamp or 2 minutes under a UV lamp. Most shades cover in one or two thin coats, and each coat should be cured before the next one goes on. Both the Non-Wipe Top Coat and the Velvet Matte Top Coat cure without a sticky layer.

Is Chaun Legend gel polish HEMA-free or TPO-free?

The Chaun Legend listings and the brand information we carry do not describe these gels as HEMA-free or TPO-free, so we do not sell them that way. For a client who reacts to HEMA, choose a line that is made and labeled without it, such as the DND HEMA and TPO Free duos or A'DOR HEMA-Free gel color.

Does Chaun Legend gel self-level?

It is made to stay where you apply it rather than flow across the nail, which keeps it out of the cuticle and side walls and helps with French lines and detailed work. Use thin, even strokes and place the color close to the cuticle on the first pass, because the gel will not spread to fill gaps for you.

How long does it last and how do I remove it?

With correct prep and the Chaun Legend base, color and top system, a manicure is made to last up to three weeks. To remove it, file the top layer to break the seal, soak in acetone or use removal wraps for 10 to 15 minutes, then gently push off the softened gel. If it resists, soak a little longer rather than scraping.

Chaun Legend gel polish at a glance

Chaun Legend gel polish is designed by celebrity nail artist Chaun Legend, and it has a loyal following in Vietnamese-American salons. The formula is a rich, highly pigmented cream that covers in one or two coats and cures under an LED or UV lamp. Its main difference from many salon gels is the way it behaves on the brush: it stays where you place it instead of flowing toward the cuticle, so tight cuticle work, French lines and nail art bases are easier to control.

This page holds the whole gel side of the brand at DTK: every numbered single from LG5001 to LG5240, the themed bundles, the big library sets for salons that want the full wall, and the base and top coats made for the line. Acrylic powder, monomer and brushes from the same brand sit on separate pages, linked further down.

How the 240 numbers are organized

Every single bottle carries an LG code, and the codes run without gaps from LG5001 to LG5240. Reorders are easy because the number on the cap is the number in the title. The range is released in volumes:

The earlier codes, everything before LG5111, open with sheers such as LG5001 Lactose Intolerant, LG5002 Angel Kisses and LG5003 Sheer Thought.
Vol. 2.1 is the block from LG5111 to LG5175, 65 shades.
Vol. 2.2 is the block from LG5176 to LG5240, another 65 shades.

The shades released as new colors are also gathered on the Back and Bolder new colors page.

Which format should you buy

New to the brand: start with one 6-color bundle that matches your client base, plus the base and no-wipe top. You learn the formula on six shades before you commit to more.
Running a seasonal menu: pick the bundle that matches the season and add singles for the two or three shades your clients ask for again and again.
You already know your numbers: the Build Your Own 6 or 10 kit lets you choose every shade.
Opening or refitting a salon: a Vol. set or the 240-color library puts the whole numbered chart on the wall at once, and singles keep it full afterwards.

Colors for fall and the holidays

Our seasonal chart for the line lists 92 spring shades, 41 summer, 50 fall and 98 winter, with some numbers counted in more than one season. For the current season, these fall shades are in stock now:

When spring comes back around, the Chaun Legend spring colors page collects the pastels, including LG5037 Baby Doll and LG5034 Powder Room, a milky pastel nude.

Sheers and soft tones

Several of the opening numbers are sheer, barely-there shades for clean, natural sets and French bases. Chaun's Celeb-Fave Sheers bundle groups six of them, including LG5001 Lactose Intolerant and LG5009 Love at First Sight, a playful mid-tone pink. The wider Sheer & Tones collection adds tonal browns and nudes such as LG5107 Risqué Business and LG5109 Crème De La Cocoa. If your clients like see-through color, compare them with other brands on our jelly and sheer gel page.

Inside the fall and evening bundles

Each themed bundle lists its shades on the listing, so you know exactly which numbers arrive. The four that fit this time of year:

V.2 Fall Collection (6 shades): picked by Chaun to run from espresso tones and deep berries to bold olives and burnt orange. Inside: LG5233 Olive the Drama, LG5217 Read My Lips, LG5198 Barely Squeezed, LG5189 Berry Me Deep, LG5206 Expresso Yourself and LG5228 In Too Deep.
Chaun's Fall Must-Haves (6 shades): warm taupes through deep burgundy, burnt orange and a rich mustard. Inside: LG5067 Taupe of the Morning, LG5071 Moss be Lucky, LG5069 Soft Touch, LG5078 Falling, LG5061 Sunset and LG5062 Curry Chicken.

How to apply Chaun Legend gel polish

Prep: shape the nail and lightly buff the surface so the base has something to grip.
Base: apply a thin, even layer of Chaun Legend Gel Base Coat, cap the free edge, and cure for 60 seconds under LED or 2 minutes under UV.
Color: apply a thin coat of gel polish and cure it for 60 seconds under LED or 2 minutes under UV.
Second coat: most shades cover fully in one or two coats. Add the second coat if you need it and cure it the same way.
Top: seal with the Non-Wipe Top Coat for gloss or the Velvet Matte Top Coat for a soft matte finish, cap the free edge, and cure for 60 seconds under LED or 2 minutes under UV. Neither top leaves a sticky layer, so there is nothing to wipe.

Pro tip: because this gel holds its shape instead of leveling out, thin, even strokes matter. Place the color where you want it the first time, close to the cuticle, and the finished line stays crisp.

With correct prep and the full base, color and top system, a Chaun Legend manicure is made to last up to three weeks.

Base, no-wipe and matte top

The Chaun Legend base and top coats are made to pair with this color line. The base builds adhesion and gives a smooth canvas. The Non-Wipe Top Coat gives a high-gloss, chip-resistant finish. The Velvet Matte Top Coat turns any cured gloss color into a soft matte. On matte sets, ask clients to keep oil and lotion off the nails right after curing, because they can bring the shine back. The colors also work with other brands' base and top gels, but the matched system gives the most predictable wear.

Removal and aftercare

Removal: file the top layer to break the seal, soak in acetone or wrap the nails with removal wraps for 10 to 15 minutes, then gently push off the softened gel.
No scraping: if the gel does not lift easily, give it more soak time instead of forcing it.
Between visits: a little cuticle oil each day keeps the skin around the gel soft. On a matte set, keep oil off the nails right after curing.

Stocking Chaun Legend for a salon

A practical way to start is a sheer bundle, one seasonal bundle and the base and top, then singles as clients point to shades. Keep a short list of the numbers your clients reorder most and buy those as singles, and bring in the next season's bundle before the season starts so swatches are on the wall when clients begin asking. If you run acrylic services too, the Chaun Legend acrylic powder and brushes page holds the matching powders and the brand's Kolinsky brushes, and the full Chaun Legend range shows everything from the brand in one grid.
