Nail Thoughts Color Gel - Desert Door - #NT-10

A bright, pigmented (and on the verge of neon) orange gel nail color.

Don’t let orange be the last color on your list to get. Orange is such an important staple that sneaks up on you. This is a very specific and more bright toned orange. It has less brown undertones than your average orange and a little bit more of yellow undertone to create a much brighter and more crisp color. This is bright enough to pass as a neon but also tame enough to pass as solid orange. It almost feels like two colors in one.

This color name was inspired by the bright front doors of Palm Springs homes and the feeling of instant escapism you feel knowing a relaxing pool day is right behind it.

LED: 30s / UV: 60s

COLOR Gel Description

All of these gels are PURE gel, not a gel polish. These gel colors have no nail polish solvent present, which means:

• They have no odor.
• They last long on your and your client's nails.
• A higher pigment level means a great one-coat payoff and less wasted product.
• They won't dry up on you.

How To Use:

1. PREPARATION: Thoroughly prepare the nail, removing any dead skin and loose cuticle off and around the nail plate. Lightly buff the nail with a sponge buffer to remove any dirt and excess shine. Wipe any moisture from the nail using alcohol to prepare it for your gel application.
   
   2. BASE: Apply Base Gel (Recommended: Nail Thoughts Builder Base) to the natural nail and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp. OPTIONAL: Apply two layers of the base coat, adding an apex while curing in between for extra durability.
   
   3. COLOR: Apply Nail Thoughts Gel Color and cure for 30 seconds LED or 60 seconds UV. Apply as many layers to your preferred opacity, making sure to use thin layers between each cure. In most cases, you will only need one layer for full coverage.
   
   4. TOP: Apply Top Coat Gel and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp.
   
   NOTE:

• If the gel is applied very thick, it can cause an uneven nail surface or air bubbles to form leading to improper curing.
• Store out of direct light and at room temperature after each use.
• We recommend using a strong curing unit or else gel will not cure all the way through causing lifting or peeling. Follow the recommended curing times for each step.
• Be careful not to get gel onto the skin. Gel applied over the cuticle or around the eponychium area can cause lifting. Uncured gel left on the skin can cause allergic reactions to occur. Discontinue use immediately if itching, redness or swelling occurs on your skin, and contact a physician.
