JELLY SET

ENIGMATIC COLLECTION

There is more than one way to wear red.

Enigmatic Gel Color transforms classic red into an even more luscious and luminous shade. Its translucent "Jelly" effect formula builds gradually, going from a delicate, glassy red veil to a deep color with gemstone accents, layer by layer.

The five shades range from classic bright red to deep wine. Each shade subtly lets light pass through the color to create a translucent, ultra-shiny Jelly finish. Wear them alone or layer them over a cat eye effect, foil, or an Enigmatic Flash Glitter shade to create your own custom red with even more depth.

Finish with Builder Top Gelcoat for a domed, glassy shine. A little touch of magic, straight from the bottle.

Benefits

• Translucent and buildable color – one coat creates a delicate red veil, two coats offer medium depth, and three coats reveal a richer color while maintaining the jelly effect.
• Designed for layering – adds a gemstone-toned veil over cat eye effects, foil, and glitter without masking the underlying design.
• Thin to medium self-leveling viscosity – applies in smooth, controlled layers for an even finish.
• Cures quickly in 30 seconds – fully hardens under an 18W LED lamp or higher, including all Aprés LED lamps.
• Built-in Brush-X™ brush – allows for a clean and precise application directly from the bottle.
• HEMA, TPO, and TMPTA-free – professional Gel Color performance in a carefully formulated formula.
• Compatible with the Gel-X® system – designed for applications on natural nails and Gel-X® services.

Application

Recommendations

• Create a deeper glassy effect – alternate a layer of cured Builder Top Gelcoat between two jelly layers, then finish with your favorite top coat.
• Tint an existing effect – layer Enigmatic over cat eye, pearl, or Astral or Prismatic Flash Glitter effects to add a gemstone-toned veil.
• Mix finishes – apply a jelly shade over an Enigmatic Flash Glitter to tint the glitter, or add Flash Glitter over a jelly shade to create a multidimensional contrast.
• Add a spectral effect – apply Heavenly Top Gelcoat over the cured jelly shade to create a soft rainbow gradient effect. Finish with Builder Top Gelcoat for even more dimension.
