Looks Great On

Wear Citrus Situation when the setting rewards imagination: a desert art gathering, outdoor installation, music-and-art weekend, costume-forward party, sunset bike ride, festival camp, pool party, creative retreat, or any event where getting dressed can become part of the experience. It naturally fits radical-expression destinations and gatherings such as Black Rock City or AfrikaBurn, but it also works for art-heavy weekends in Palm Springs, Marrakech, Cape Town, Ibiza, Tulum, or the Australian outback where heat, landscape, and color are part of the visual story. Pair it with graphic prints, cobalt, magenta, violet, turquoise, metallic silver, reflective materials, crochet, mesh, cutouts, utility pieces, statement sunglasses, sculptural hoops, decorated sneakers or boots, and accessories that look customized rather than bought as a set. For beauty, think saturated liner, glowing skin, bronzer, neon accents, glossy lips, colorful shadow, braided or sculptural hair, and details that can hold their own in strong light. On nails, try neon French tips, orange aura gradients, negative-space sun shapes, bicycle-line graphics, chrome arcs, heat-wave curves, geometric festival art, or pair it with cobalt, hot pink, purple, turquoise, black, white, and metallic Color Plus shades for an electric desert 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.
