This season, Salon System has teamed up with Gellux nail expert and salon owner Jaz Moger to share her must-have winter shades edited from the GELLUX Mini 8ml range (£7.25 +vat each).
“Muted pastels like Dusty Lilac, Mineral Blue, Vintage Rose and Lemon Meringue are a good transition from Summer into Autumn. They also work well paired with darker, more classic Autumnal tones such as Black Cherry and Really Red. Out of the Blue is still going to prove popular this year either as a French tip or an all-over full coverage mani. For something more vibrant, Chilli Pepper is a strong pink toned red that is another great shade to wear between this season,” explains Salon System expert, Jaz.
Each Gellux gel shade is both chip and wear resistant leaving nails with a long lasting, ultra-glossy finish. They can be light cured with either UV or LED. The patented technologies within the GELLUX formulation promotes excellent adhesion and wear properties, while still allowing for removal by soaking in acetone.
