    Nail Thoughts - NT-12 Tortoise Shell

    The Perfect Tortoise Shell Color

    Introducing Nail Thoughts - NT-12 Tortoise Shell, a unique gel color that combines the warmth of orange with the richness of brown, creating a stunning, sheer, and glassy tone that is perfect for all your tortoiseshell nail art needs. Whether you're creating intricate tortoiseshell designs, layering with other sheer colors for beautiful watercolor washes, or designing amber-style nails, this color will quickly become your go-to for those stunning, high-quality looks.

    Features and Benefits

    This gel is a perfect mix of orange and brown, making it the ideal shade for a sophisticated, elegant look. Inspired by the popular tortoiseshell glasses that are a timeless accessory, this gel offers a high-pigment jelly texture that delivers great coverage in just one layer, saving time and product. The sheer yet vibrant finish allows for a variety of looks, from subtle undertones to more intense designs, depending on the layers you choose.

    What makes NT-12 Tortoise Shell stand out is its pure gel formula. Unlike traditional gel polishes, this product contains no nail polish solvents, which provides several advantages:

    • No odor: Enjoy a comfortable, pleasant application experience.

    • Long-lasting: The gel stays put longer on your nails without chipping or peeling.

    • Higher pigment level: Achieve a smooth and uniform finish with less product.

    • No drying out: This gel doesn’t dry out, ensuring its longevity and reliability.

    How to Use

    1. Preparation: Start by thoroughly prepping the nail. Remove any dead skin and loose cuticles, then lightly buff the nail to remove dirt and excess shine. Clean the nail using alcohol to prepare for the gel application.

    2. Base: Apply a base gel (recommended: Nail Thoughts Builder Base) and cure using an LED or UV lamp. You can apply two layers of the base coat for extra durability.

    3. Color: Apply Nail Thoughts NT-12 Tortoise Shell gel color and cure for 30 seconds under LED light or 60 seconds under UV light. You can apply additional layers for more opacity, ensuring thin layers between each cure.

    4. Top Coat: Apply a top coat and cure once again.

    Additional Tips

    For the best results, be sure to use a strong curing unit and follow the recommended curing times. If the gel is applied too thickly, it can lead to an uneven surface or air bubbles, resulting in improper curing. Store your gel away from direct light and at room temperature to preserve its quality.
