CND Shellac Gel Polish Tropix 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Tropix is a vivid coral colour coat sitting in the warm space where bright pink meets red. Professional stockists describe it as a reddish pink, and it is filed as both a vivid coral and a bright pink depending on the source, which fairly reflects a shade that genuinely straddles the two: it has the warmth and punch of a coral with more pink in the base than a true red. The finish is a bold, opaque creme that reaches full coverage in two thin layers. Tropix is a summer wall staple and an obvious pedicure shade, and it is the one clients point at when they want holiday colour. It works well alongside gold accents or a crisp white. Tropix is applied as step two of the CND Shellac system, over a CND Shellac base coat and under a CND Shellac top coat.

Benefits

• Vivid warm coral with a pink base - the shade that answers a summer or holiday colour request.
• Bold, opaque creme finish that reaches full coverage in two thin layers.
• Delivers 14+ days of high-performance wear as the colour step in the complete CND Shellac system of base coat, colour and top coat.
• Extends to up to 21 days of wear when applied over CND Shellac Epic Smoothing Base rather than the standard base coat - worth it on a holiday manicure that has to outlast a trip.
• Cures in one minute per layer on preset 2S under a CND Lamp, so pedicure clients can put shoes straight back on with no smudge risk.
• Butterfly Removal lifts the coating in minutes with no filing or buffing of the natural nail and no nail damage when used and removed as directed.
• Roughly 34 services per professional bottle, which makes a seasonal brights slot pay.

How to Use

1. Prep the natural nail: shape the free edge with a fine 240 grit file, gently push back and lift away non-living cuticle tissue, then cleanse and temporarily dehydrate the plate with CND ScrubFresh on a lint-free pad. The nail surface needs no filing or buffing.
2. Roll CND Shellac Base Coat between the palms to blend, apply one thin layer to the extension edge and nail surface and cure 10 seconds on preset button 1 in a CND LED Lamp. Leave the top film.
3. Shake Tropix vigorously to blend, apply one thin layer to the extension edge and nail surface and cure one minute on preset button 2S. The first layer looks slightly semi-sheer when applied correctly.
4. Apply a second thin layer of Tropix and cure one minute on preset button 2S for full opacity. Keep both layers thin, as a thick coat of a bright, highly pigmented colour can wrinkle in the lamp.
5. Roll CND Shellac Top Coat between the palms, apply one thin layer and cure one minute on preset button 3.
6. Wipe the top film with 99% isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free pad to reveal the gloss, then finish with CND SolarOil. No-Wipe+ Top Coat does not need this wipe.
7. To remove, saturate a CND Foil Remover Wrap pad with CND Offly Fast Moisturizing Remover, wrap each finger and time to the top coat used. Press, massage and twist the wrap away, then wipe residue with Offly Fast.
