Gel for nail modeling 15 g, Starry Night 01
Reflective gel with ultra-pure micro-particles that create a striking, mirror-like sparkling effect. When exposed to various light sources—phone flash, LED lights, spotlights, or car headlights—the coating shines with ultra-intense brilliance. In dark conditions, when hit by direct light, the gel reflects it especially brightly, producing an impressive “photographic” effect. (Note: the gel is not phosphorescent—it does not glow on its own but only reflects the light that falls on it.)

Why You’ll Love It
• 3D reflective effect: instant shine when light hits—perfect for flash photography and Reels/TikTok videos.
• Balanced texture: medium viscosity with controlled self-leveling—doesn’t flood the cuticle, leaves no streaks, and spreads evenly.
• Versatile coverage: one thin layer creates a subtle shimmer; 2–3 layers give a dense mirror-like shine with deep color.
• Premium glitter: ultra-fine particles and micro-reflectors ensure flawless sparkle without gaps or patches.
• Perfect compatibility: works over rubber and fiber bases, builder gel, polygel, or as an accent in French and ombré designs.
• Durable and long-lasting: strong adhesion to UV/LED systems ensures a flawless result when the nail plate is properly prepared.

Appearance Under Different Lighting
• Diffuse daylight: delicate, refined shimmer.
• Direct light (flash or LED): “mirror glitter” effect with bright, vivid reflections creating a luxurious shine.
• Dark conditions with a point light source: particles intensely reflect light toward the source or camera, emphasizing texture.

Step-by-Step Application
- Nail prep: remove natural shine, degrease the surface, gently push back cuticles; apply primer if required by your system.
- Base: apply a thin layer of base (rubber / fiber / classic) and cure according to the base instructions.
- Background color (optional): for a richer effect, apply a substrate close in tone to the gel (nude, gray, or black).
- Reflective gel: • Layer 1: thin, even; cure LED 60–90 s / UV 120 s. • Layer 2 (and 3 if desired): apply and cure similarly. • For accents or gradients, use a fine brush or sponge for blending.
- Finish: glossy or velvet/matte top coat (the effect is especially striking on matte, with soft light reflections).
- Remove inhibition layer (if present): according to the type of top coat used.

Professional Tips
• Stunning Photos: Take shots with a flash at a distance of 30–60 cm — this ensures even and expressive highlights.
• Perfect Surface: For an easy apex, place a drop of product in the stress zone and smooth it out before curing.
• Mix & Match Design: Combine metallic lines, foil (gold or silver), and 3D elements — reflective details enhance contrast and create a striking accent.
• Product Efficiency: For an evening look, one layer over a nude or black base is sufficient.
