DNKa - Fast Gel #0011 Oxford, 12ml

Fast Gel #0011 Oxford — Smoky Lilac

A translucent smoky lilac, the shade that reads differently depending on the light it catches — sometimes leaning cooler, sometimes softer, without ever tipping into a bold or saturated purple. Part of the same Oxford collection as #0010, but built around a completely different color character: this one carries genuine dimension rather than staying flat.

Density and Feel

Semi-transparent, medium consistency — thin enough for controlled thin-layer work near the cuticle, thick enough to hold its shape once cured. Pigmentation shifts with layer thickness, so a single thin coat reads noticeably softer than a built-up double layer.

What It's Suited For

• Solo nude-toned manicures for office or bridal looks
• A soft camouflage base under French tips
• Baby boomer and gradient work paired with milkier tones from the same collection
• Minimalist designs — fine linework, pearl rub-on effects, slider decals
• Regrowth correction while keeping the overall palette calm and cohesive

Getting It On the Nail

1. Remove old coating, shape the nail, buff away shine, complete standard prep
2. Apply Dehydrator, then Ultrabond for extra adhesion
3. Cover the nail plate with a base such as Multi Base or Fiber Base, cure 30/60 sec under a 48/36W LED/UV lamp
4. For extensions, set a paper or upper form
5. Apply Fast Gel #0011 as a leveling layer, keeping material off the skin
6. Cure 90/180 seconds under LED/UV
7. If extending, remove the form, refine the architecture, cure again 90/180 seconds
8. Clear residual tack with Nail Prep & Cleanser 3in1
9. File, apply a top coat, cure 120/180 seconds

FAQ

Should I test this shade before using it on a client?
Yes — it's worth checking how the gel behaves under your specific lamp, including set time and cure speed, before working live.

What kind of top coat works best over smoky lilac?
A top coat with UV filters is commonly used with lighter shades like this one, to help keep the color reading true rather than shifting over time.

Can I do a correction without a full soak-off?
Yes, as long as the existing coating has no lifting and the surface is properly prepped before the new layer goes on.
