Details that matter

Shade No. 180 Dress Call sits in the Pink/Lilac color family, offering a versatile tone that pairs with office attire, weekend outfits, and formal wear. The formula blends colorants with polymers such as Acrylates Copolymer and Nitrocellulose to lock in color and shine, while others like Ethyl Acetate and Butyl Acetate provide smooth application. The result is a high-gloss finish that remains vibrant through daily activities like typing, washing, and hand movements.

Who should use this

Ideal for anyone who wants a durable, stylish manicure without the time or cost of frequent professional visits. The unisex shade and modern color family make it suitable for a wide range of skin tones and fashion styles, from minimalist to bold.

How this compares to traditional polishes

The Gel Couture system offers longer wear time and a tougher, glossier finish with much less risk of chipping than traditional polishes. And because it doesn't require UV curing, you can apply at home quickly and safely while still enjoying a premium, salon-like look.

Practical tips for best results

Apply to clean, dry nails and allow adequate drying between layers to maximize wear and shine. The formula is designed to deliver a smooth, glassy finish that keeps color vibrant as days go by. When it's time to remove, use your usual nail-polish remover to dissolve the pigment.
