Apres - Night Bloom, FG19 (HEMA/TPO/TMPTA-Free), 15ml

Deep, moody, and named for something that only opens after dark — Night Bloom pushes the Enigmatic collection further toward its near-black crimson end, one of five shades built around the same core idea: reflective particles and iridescent flash glitter suspended in a red-to-burgundy base. Part of the full range of Apres Gel Polish shades.

What Makes the Formula Work

• Full color payoff in two coats — no base shade or over-building needed
• Self-leveling, thin-medium viscosity for a smooth, even finish
• Reflective and iridescent particles catch light from multiple angles
• Cures in just 30 seconds under an 18W+ LED lamp
• Built-in Brush-X applicator for controlled, precise strokes
• HEMA-free, TPO-free, TMPTA-free
• Compatible with the Gel-X system

Applying Night Bloom

On Gel-X Tips

1. Etch the tip's surface with Gel-X Prep
2. Apply two thin coats, curing 30 seconds each
3. Seal with Builder Top Gelcoat or Non-Wipe Top Gelcoat, cure 30–60 seconds

On Natural Nails

1. Apply pH Bonder and let nails air-dry; add Acid-Free Gel Primer if desired
2. Apply Base Gelcoat, cure 30 seconds
3. Apply two thin coats of Night Bloom, curing 30 seconds each
4. Finish with a top coat, cure 30–60 seconds

Taking It Off

E-file the top coat and color away, then soak in 100% pure acetone for 10–20 minutes until the gel softens to a jelly-like texture. Lift gently with a remover tool rather than forcing it, buff away any leftover residue, and finish with cuticle oil.

Ways to Style It

• Encapsulate under Builder Top Gelcoat for extra dimension in the glitter
• Pair with an Enigmatic jelly shade — layered over or under — for tinted sparkle or sharp contrast
• Add Heavenly Top Gelcoat for a holographic, shifting effect
• Work it into gradients, French tips, or accent nails for a smaller dose of sparkle
