Born Pretty Water Blooming Gel 10ml

Blooming gel is one of the most creative specialty products in nail art. It creates the ink blooming effect where gel colours dropped onto a wet blooming gel base flow outward organically in soft fluid patterns that replicate the look of ink dropped into water. The results are different every time which is part of what makes this technique so popular. No two blooming gel nail sets look exactly the same.

How Blooming Gel Works

The blooming gel acts as a reactive wet surface that allows gel colours to flow and blend across it in organic patterns. Apply a layer of blooming gel over a cured base and do not cure the blooming gel. While the blooming gel is still wet, drop or paint small amounts of gel colour onto the surface. The colour immediately begins to bloom and spread outward through the wet blooming gel, creating natural flowing patterns. Once happy with the pattern cure everything together.

Tips for Best Results

Work quickly once the blooming gel is applied as it begins to self-level and can change the bloom pattern if left too long before adding colour. Use thin, concentrated drops of gel colour for precise bloom control. Adding more colour creates more dramatic spreading patterns. For a subtle watercolour effect use very small amounts of diluted colour. Once cured the blooming pattern is locked permanently and can be sealed with any top coat.

Important

Do not cure the blooming gel layer before adding your colours. The wet blooming gel must remain uncured for the blooming reaction to occur. Curing it first sets the gel and the bloom effect will not work on a cured surface.
