Looks Great On

Wear Chai Me Later when the best part of the plan is sitting down: a neighborhood café morning, catch-up brunch, bookstore stop, casual workday, Sunday market, dinner at a cozy wine bar, holiday visit, or a quiet afternoon spent somewhere warm while the weather turns cool. Travel-wise, it fits a chai stop in Mumbai or Delhi, café hopping in London, a tea house afternoon in Kyoto, a cozy Copenhagen café, Istanbul between markets and tea glasses, or a rainy Melbourne morning where one more warm drink feels completely justified. Pair it with cashmere, oatmeal knits, cream trousers, relaxed denim, camel coats, chocolate leather, loafers, ballet flats, gold hoops, layered necklaces, scarves, and soft structured bags. For beauty, think warm skin, cream blush, brown liner, brushed brows, mascara, a caramel or rose-nude lip, and subtle golden highlight. On nails, try cinnamon micro-French tips, chai-swirled marble, tonal nude gradients, milk-tea aura nails, tiny gold linework, soft sweater-texture accents, or pair it with espresso, caramel, burgundy, cream, muted rose, and pearl Color Plus shades for a warm café-inspired palette.

How To Use

After prep, apply a thin even layer of Gelish Foundation or Quick Release Base Gel and cure. Apply Gelish Color Plus Gel Polish shade of choice, cap free edge, and cure. Repeat. Apply a thin layer of Gelish No Cleanse Top Coat and cure. Finish with Gelish Nourish Cuticle Oil.

To remove, lightly file surface. Saturate a remover wrap with Gelish Artificial Nail Remover. Wrap nail, soak 10-15 minutes. Gently remove remaining gel with orangewood stick.

Curing Tips for Gelish Color Plus

1. Rich color needs a full cure. Color Plus is highly pigmented, so it needs a complete cure. If you aren't using our Gelish 18G LED Light, we recommend a 60-second cure for each layer of Color Plus.

2. Apply in thin layers. Thin coats cure evenly and give you the smoothest finish. If you see any wrinkling, that layer isn't fully cured. Put it back under the lamp for another 60 seconds.
