TOUCH - Gel Polish 22, 9ml - Graphite Shade

Deeper than #21's true gray, graphite adds a darker, almost charcoal-like weight to the same neutral family — enough depth to read as a distinct statement rather than another shade of plain gray.

Where #22 Fits

That extra depth changes how graphite reads compared to #21. Where a true gray stays light and neutral enough to disappear into the background, graphite carries enough darkness to function almost like a softer alternative to black — moodier, but still with a hint of gray underneath rather than reading as flat black.

Formula and Application

The formula spreads evenly across the nail plate without pooling, settling into a smooth layer with little manual smoothing needed. Pigmentation builds quickly, though two coats give the most even, fully opaque result.

How to Apply

1. Complete standard nail prep — shape the nail, buff the surface, address the cuticle
2. Apply the first coat of Gel Polish 22, spreading evenly
3. Cure a minimum of 60 seconds under an LED 48W lamp
4. Apply a second coat if needed, curing again the same way
5. Seal with a top coat of your choice

FAQ

Is graphite closer to gray or black?
It sits between the two — deeper and darker than #21's true gray, but still carrying enough gray undertone to avoid reading as flat black.

Would graphite work as a substitute for a client who wants black but something softer?
Yes, its near-charcoal depth gives a similar moodiness to black without being quite as stark.

How many coats does #22 need for full opacity?
Typically two, though the dense pigmentation builds color quickly even in a single layer.
