Manicure painted in Champagne Silk, a gel-effect lacquer

Gel-Effect

Champagne Silk

Salon gel, no lamp, no soak-off

★★★★★289 reviews$30

The quiet luxury nude. Champagne Silk self-levels into a thick, glassy layer that mimics a cured gel manicure, then removes with ordinary remover in under a minute. Warm enough to read as skin, gold enough to catch the light.

How to use

The four-step ritual

  1. 01

    Prep

    Buff lightly and wipe clean. Push cuticles back so the colour sits flush.

  2. 02

    Base

    One layer of Grace Base Coat — essential with gel-effect formulas.

  3. 03

    Colour

    Two coats, floating the brush rather than pressing so the resin can self-level.

  4. 04

    Seal

    Lustre Top Coat after four minutes. Avoid hot water for the first hour.

Store upright away from sunlight. Roll the bottle between your palms — never shake — before use.
