Description

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

  1. Nail prep: remove natural shine, degrease the surface, gently push back cuticles; apply primer if required by your system.
  2. Base: apply a thin layer of base (rubber / fiber / classic) and cure according to the base instructions.
  3. Background color (optional): for a richer effect, apply a substrate close in tone to the gel (nude, gray, or black).
  4. 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.
  5. Finish: glossy or velvet/matte top coat (the effect is especially striking on matte, with soft light reflections).
  6. 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.

⸻

Curing Time

• LED Lamp: 60–90 seconds per layer

• UV Lamp: 120 seconds per layer

(Time may vary depending on lamp power and layer thickness.)

⸻

Removal

• Soak-off (if your system supports soak-off) using gel remover

or

• Carefully file or use a drill to the base layer, then remove the gel completely or redo the extension, depending on your preference.

⸻

Suitability and Target Audience

• For professionals and enthusiasts creating striking and photogenic manicures.

• Suitable for salons and content creators working with professional lighting and flash photography.

⸻

Safety and Care

• For professional or advanced use only.

• Avoid contact with skin; discontinue use if irritation occurs.
