Pinks

Pink here is anything clearly pinker than skin: hot pink and magenta through rose, berry, dark party pinks and French pink, plus cat eye, glow and mermaid chameleon finishes. The shelf spans soak off gel, matching trio, nail lacquer, dip powder and a few builder gels. Milky and ballet tones live on blush, skin tone shades on nudes, and the full map is at shop by color.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pinks

Which pinks suit cool skin tones and which suit warm?

Blue based pinks, magenta and cool rose sit cleanly on pink and olive undertones. Warm coral leaning pinks and berry read better on golden and deeper skin. If a client's hand looks red at the knuckle, a cool pink calms it and a warm pink pushes it further. Swatch two on the ring finger before committing the set.

Why do neon and hot pink gels look dull after curing?

Neon pigment carries very little white, so it cures flat and can look chalky over bare nail. Lay a thin white or opaque base under the neon, then two coats of color, then seal with a no wipe gloss gel to bring the depth back. Skipping the white base is the usual reason a hot pink dries down muted.

What is the difference between the pink, blush and nude shelves?

Pink holds anything clearly pinker than skin, from magenta to rose. Blush was split off when pink grew too broad, and it covers the milky, sheer and ballet end. Nude is where the shade sits close to skin tone, beige through taupe. If you are unsure which shelf a bottle belongs to, judge it against the client's hand.
