Red is never basic.
Enigmatic explores the full range of this timeless shade through two distinct finishes: five translucent jelly reds and five multidimensional flash glitter reds.
From a true red to near-black crimson, every shade offers a different way into beauty's most iconic color. The jelly shades build from sheer, glass-like stains to rich jewel-toned depth. The flash glitters deliver reflective dimension and full payoff in two coats. Wear each shade alone or layer the finishes together to create reds that feel entirely your own.
Warm. Alluring. Confident. The classic red manicure, touched with a little magic.

Applications
On Gel-X® Tips
- Etch the surface of the applied Gel-X® Tip with Gel-X Prep®.
- For jelly shades: apply one thin, even coat and cure for 30 seconds. Repeat for two or three total coats, depending on the desired depth.
- For flash glitter shades: apply one thin, even coat and cure for 30 seconds. Apply a second thin coat and cure for 30 seconds.
- Finish with Builder Top Gelcoat or Non-Wipe Top Gelcoat. Cure 30–60 seconds, depending on top coat choice.
On Natural Nails
- Apply pH Bonder and allow the nails to air-dry completely. Apply Acid-Free Gel Primer if desired.
- Apply a thin, even layer of Base Gelcoat or Base Gelcoat X. Cure for 30 seconds.
- Apply jelly in 1–3 thin coats or flash glitter in 2 thin coats, curing each coat for 30 seconds.
- Finish with Builder Top Gelcoat or Non-Wipe Top Gelcoat. Cure 30–60 seconds, depending on top coat choice.
Removal
- E-file off the topcoat and gel color, then soak in 100% pure acetone for 10–20 minutes, until the gel is soft and jelly-like. Gently lift the softened product with a remover tool or cuticle pusher; do not force removal. Lightly buff away any residue and finish with cuticle oil.
Recommendations
- Turn up the glass effect – use Builder Top Gelcoat with jelly shades for a plump, glass-like finish and with flash glitters to smooth and amplify the sparkle.
- Transform effects you already own – layer jelly over Astral or Prismatic cat eye, pearlescent, or flash glitter.
- Unlock another dimension – apply Heavenly Top Gelcoat over any cured Enigmatic shade for a rainbow-spectrum shift: smooth and gradient-like over jelly, holographic and multidirectional over flash glitter.
