Apres - Blood on the Moon, J22 (HEMA/TPO/TMPTA-Free), 15ml

Dark, dramatic and dimensional, Apres Blood on the Moon J22 is a deep blood-red jelly gel polish created for manicures with a translucent, glass-like finish. The buildable pigmentation gives nail artists control over the final intensity, from a sheer crimson veil to a richer, darker red.

Unlike an opaque red gel polish that completely covers the surface underneath, the jelly formula preserves transparency. This makes Blood on the Moon especially useful for layered designs where depth and light transmission are part of the finished effect.

Why a Jelly Red?

Blood on the Moon can create several noticeably different results from the same bottle. Apply a lighter layer for a translucent stained-glass effect or build the shade with additional thin coats for more dramatic color.

The deep red tone works particularly well for:

• Glass-effect red manicures

• Dark crimson French tips

• Layered magnetic designs

• Halloween and gothic-inspired nail art

• Fall and winter manicures

• Designs over glitter or reflective gel

• Abstract and dimensional nail art

Layering J22 over magnetic, chrome or reflective effects allows the underlying design to remain visible while adding a deep red tint.

Application Guide

Begin with properly prepared natural nails. Apply the appropriate Apres bonding products followed by a compatible base coat and cure.

Apply Blood on the Moon J22 in a thin, even layer. Cure for 30 seconds in an LED lamp of at least 18W. Add additional thin coats until the desired depth is achieved, curing each layer completely.

When applying the color over Gel-X Tips, prepare the surface with Gel-X Prep before color application.

Seal the completed manicure with a compatible Apres top coat for a smooth, glossy finish.

Designed for Layering

Blood on the Moon J22 is particularly valuable for nail artists who want more control than a traditional solid red provides. Its translucent pigment can transform magnetic gel, glitter and other effects underneath while preserving their dimension.

For clients looking for a dark red manicure with greater depth and a glossy stained-glass appearance, Apres Blood on the Moon J22 offers a distinctive alternative to conventional burgundy or crimson gel polish.
