MIDNIGHT SANGRIA | JELLY

ENIGMATIC COLLECTION

There is more than one way to wear red.

Enigmatic Gel Color transforms classic red into an even more luscious, luminous shade. Its translucent "Jelly" 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 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, 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, foil, and glitter effects without masking the underlying design.
• Thin to medium self-leveling viscosity – applies in smooth, controlled layers for an even finish.
• Cures in 30 seconds – fully hardens under an 18W LED lamp or higher, including all Aprés LED lamps.
• Built-in Brush-X™ brush – allows for clean, 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

On Gel-X® Tips

1. Buff the surface of the applied Gel-X® tip with Gel-X Prep®.

3. Finish with Builder Top Gelcoat or Non-Wipe Top Gelcoat. Cure for 30 to 60 seconds, depending on the chosen top coat.

On Natural Nails

1. Apply pH Bonder and let the nails air dry completely. Apply Acid-Free Gel Primer as needed.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of Base Gelcoat or Base Gelcoat X. Cure for 30 seconds.

Recommendations

• Create a deeper glassy effect – sandwich 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 Astral or Prismatic cat-eye, pearl, or flash glitter effects to add a gemstone-toned veil.
• Mix finishes – apply a jelly shade over 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.
