Shades 91 to 180 are the second block of the NABulous gel polish range — ninety colours covering neons, pastels, jewel tones and metallics.
This guide covers what is in the block, four ways to use it, and how to apply gel polish so the colour sits flat and cures properly.
What is in shades 91-180
Ninety shades, all in the same bottle format and all cured under an LED lamp. The block spans bright neons, soft pastels, deep jewel tones, shimmering metallics, and the classic reds and pinks that do the steady work in a salon.
Four ways to use the range
1. Ombre
Pick two shades a few numbers apart so the gradient is smooth rather than a hard line. Sponge the join while both are still uncured, then cure once the blend is right.
2. Geometric
Use striping tape on a cured base coat of colour, paint the second shade over it, then lift the tape before curing. A metallic over a matte shade gives the cleanest edge.
3. Floral and freehand
Work over a cured pastel base with a fine detail brush. Thin the colour with a little top coat if it drags.
4. Accent nails
One nail in a contrasting shade from the same block keeps the set coherent — the numbers run in tonal order, so shades near each other tend to sit well together.
How to apply it
- Prep. Push back the cuticle, lightly buff the plate, and wipe with pH Bonder to take off oil and moisture.
- Primer. A thin coat of Gel Primer gives the base something to grip.
- Base Coat. One thin layer, cured.
- Colour. Two thin coats beat one thick one — a thick coat cures unevenly and stays soft underneath. Cure between each.
- Top Coat. No Wipe for gloss, or Bulk Matte Top Coat for a flat finish. Cure.
Every layer cures under a UV or LED lamp, and the whole system soaks off with acetone.
