TURN UP THE HEAT

Allow us to introduce you to colour-changing nails with our new thermo gels — the TGB TEMPtations trio — designed to change colour through coldest and hottest temperatures. Hot or cold? Let the nails decide.

One trend that isn’t going out of style is the versatile ombré effect, more specifically, pink ombré nails! Deemed by InStyle as ‘THE’ manicure for summer 2024, pink gradient nail designs are even easier than before thanks to Allure, our colour-changing pink gel polish. Throw it back to the ‘90s with the ultimate mood-ring nail effect.

THE TEMPTING TRIO

The ultimate temptation: three shades, two tones in one...

Allure

Discover Allure and get two pinks in one polish! Create a rosy ombré effect with a dusky rose shade for the cool moments. When you add heat, the shade will transform, resulting in a pale pink colour. Ombré pink nails are about to turn up the heat.

Indulge

Shift from a bold ocean hue to a serene pastel blue with just a little heat thanks to this thermal nail colour. Our blue temperature-changing gel polish creates the perfect ‘90s throwback and a nostalgic ombré effect. Our long-lasting, chip-resistant formula ensures your manicure stays fresh for weeks. Indulge is perfect for nail art designs and full-colour manicures, offering a modern twist to ‘90s classic. Can we tempt you?

Pride

And finally, Pride; the perfect green gel polish for every mood. Watch as the colour changes before your eyes, creating two-tone nails with just ONE polish! Add a layer of Chrome Pigment to complete the trending colourful chrome effect. This colour-changing gel polish is set to be the hottest green your clients have ever seen. One mood will offer a deep forest green... add a little heat and a soft pastel green will appear, as if by magic. Let the heat do the work.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SETS

We asked our Compliance Director to delve into these brand-new colour-changing shades and explain how they actually work. So, it’s time for a quick science lesson! Thermochromic pigments are special types of pigments found in Thermo Gels. These pigments react to temperature changes by altering their molecular structure, resulting in colour changes.

HERE’S HOW TO SWITCH UP YOUR SHADE

When cold, the molecular structure becomes clear, allowing the natural colour of the gel to shine through.

When introduced to heat, the molecules become white, changing the colour of the gel completely. This effect is utilised to create a continually changing ombré effect in these gel colours.

As the temperature of the environment or the body changes, the gel responds dynamically, they can also be influenced by activities such as washing your hands with warm or cold water.

The beauty of our Thermo Gels is that they are constantly changing, so you will never be bored. Perfect for those indecisive clients!

HOW TO APPLY

Thermo gels should be applied in the same way as our other Gels — applying in two even coats and curing for 60 seconds in between. True to their name, however, they will go on as their original colour but once cured, will transform to their alternate colour due to the increase in temperature. Because of this, they can look ‘patchy’ but do not fear. Continue with the top coat application and once fully cured, simply run under cold water to activate them fully.
