What is Blossom Gel?

 

Our Blossom Gel can be described in three words according to the raving reviews of iGel Beauties: easy, flexible, and fun. It's a hassle-free nail product that adds a blooming or watercolor effect to your gel nails. See the difference in your nail art with just a thin coat!

The Blossom Gel is multipurpose since you can add it to any nail art, adding an "oomph" factor. You can create various designs like aurora borealis, seascape wave patterns, and even tie-dye!

When you apply the Blossom Gel to any gel polish, the blooming effect will magically unfold, making your nail art even more gorgeous (trust me, it's a must-have for nail techs). You can read our gel polish guide to refresh your memory about gel nails.

Step 1: Prep

 

Before anything else, prepping your nails is a must to make your nail art sturdy and bloom-ready when you apply the Blossom Gel. You can read our blog about nail prep here.

 

 

Step 2: Choose any gel polish

 

Apply two (2) coats of any gel polish of your choice. Cure for 30 seconds in between each layer. The gel shade used in the video is Dip & Dap Duo - DD047 Frisky Fuchsia.

Curing time: LED (30 seconds), UV/LED (60-90 seconds), and UV (2 minutes), depending on light wattage.

Pro-Tip: Cure each nail separately to ensure all nails are evenly cured.

 

 

Step 3: Apply the Blossom Gel

 

The Blossom gel should be applied to the entire nail. Curing under light is a bad idea since a clear and slippery polish will develop if you do so.

 

 

Step 4: Design your nails

 

After applying the Blossom Gel, you can use any gel polish to create your nail art designs. We'll be using the DD001 - Pure White, but feel free to use your preferred polish! This is a perfect time to bring out your artistic side with a thin line brush. 

 

 

Step 5: Apply Top Coat

 

With our No Cleanse Top Coat, you'll get that additional shine! The Matte Top Coat gives a suede-like feel when applied over the No Cleanse.

Cure Time: LED (30 seconds), UV/LED (60-90 seconds), UV (2 minutes), depending on your lamp's wattage.
