blueberry bush semi-cured gel nails on hand with yellow jumper against a blue wall

Blueberry Bush is a three-design pack of distinct blue tones, from dark to light, each with its own undertone so they complement rather than simply repeat each other. The darkest wrap is a deep, moody blue. The mid shade sits slightly differently in the blue spectrum, and the lightest is a soft, cool pale blue. Together they read as a curated selection rather than a simple gradient, giving your nails a mix-and-match quality that looks intentional. Wearing the three together Try the darkest shade on your ring fingers as an accent, with the lighter two carrying the rest of your hand, or go fully mixed with a different blue on every nail. Because they're all genuinely blue rather than blue-adjacent, there's no awkward clash between them. When it works Blue is an easy colour to wear year-round, but this particular mix, cool and layered, feels especially suited to the cooler months. It's also a popular choice if you want something a bit different from the usual pinks and reds without going for a bold or unusual colour. The details Three coordinating blue tones with distinct undertones, dark to light Long-wearing semi-cured gel lasts up to two weeks with lamp curing Pairs beautifully with Gloss Top Coat across all three shades Shop Blueberry Bush

Grape glitter purple semi-cured gel nails in mockup to show product against textured ceramic head with la-bek uv lamp in the background

Grape Glitter layers dense blue-violet glitter with warm gold flecks for a richly textured finish that changes character depending on the light. Each wrap is packed with fine deep blue-violet glitter scattered with gold accents throughout. In bright light the gold flashes against the cool blue base, and in lower light the wrap deepens into a luxurious indigo, a design that wears differently every time you look at it. A glitter that doesn't need a top coat to look finished Unlike loose glitter polish, which often needs several coats and a thick layer of top coat to look full, Grape Glitter is dense and full-coverage straight off the wrap. A top coat still helps seal and deepen the colour, but you're not relying on it to hide gaps. Styling it It's a strong enough design to wear alone, especially for evening events or the festive season when a bit of sparkle feels right. If you want to tone it down for daytime, pair it with a plain solid shade like Mystic Plum on your other hand or as an accent nail. The details Full-coverage deep blue-violet glitter with warm gold flecks throughout Long-wearing semi-cured gel lasts up to two weeks with lamp curing Pairs beautifully with Gloss Top Coat to seal and intensify the colour depth Shop Grape Glitter

Pure White semi-cured gel nails in mockup to show product against textured handbag

White is one of those colours everyone thinks they know until they try it, there's a big difference between a sheer, milky white and a true, solid one. Pure White is the latter: a fully opaque white with nothing to see through, just clean, even colour from base to tip. Why opaque matters A sheer or milky white can look uneven depending on the natural colour underneath it, patchy in places, translucent at the tip. Pure White is formulated to be fully opaque, so it covers evenly no matter what's underneath, giving you the same crisp, bright finish on every nail. Styling it Worn alone, it's a bold, graphic look, more striking than people expect from "just white." It also works as a genuine blank canvas for nail art, a single thin gold or black line reads crisply against it, and it's opaque enough that any pattern or sticker layered on top shows up clearly rather than getting lost underneath. When it works Pure White suits pretty much any season, it reads fresh in summer and crisp against darker winter layers alike. It's also a popular pick for anyone wanting a manicure that photographs cleanly, since there's no undertone to catch unevenly in different lighting. The details Fully opaque, solid white with a smooth, even, non-sheer finish Long-wearing semi-cured gel lasts up to two weeks with lamp curing Pairs beautifully with Gloss Top Coat for extra shine and depth Shop Pure White

semi-cured gel nails cherry red

Cherry Red is a deep, warm cherry-toned jelly with a glossy, dimensional finish that makes nails look lit from within. Each wrap is a rich, saturated red with a warm brick undertone and the plump, glass-like quality of a true jelly finish, not a flat polish red and not a hint of matte in sight. It catches the light from every angle and keeps catching it all day. Why the jelly finish matters A jelly finish has more translucency than a standard solid polish, so the colour has a sense of depth rather than sitting flat on the nail. It's part of what makes Cherry Red look more like a lacquered cherry than a plain red block colour. Styling it It's a strong enough red to wear on its own for date nights, the festive season, or any occasion that calls for a classic red mani. For something a little different, try it with a single French Stars or Gold Bows accent nail rather than a full nail art design, since the depth of the jelly finish is the main event here. The details Deep cherry-red with a warm undertone and a high-gloss jelly finish Long-wearing semi-cured gel lasts up to two weeks with lamp curing Pairs beautifully with Gloss Top Coat to intensify the jelly effect Shop Cherry Red

Candy bar rainbow semi-cured gel nails in mockup to show product against white wave wooden blocks with la-bek uv lamp in the background

Candy Bar is a three-design pastel pack in blush pink, soft mint, and pale butter yellow, the kind of set that looks like a dessert counter and wears like a treat. Each shade has the barely-there quality of a true pastel: the blush is soft and peachy-pink, the mint is cool and fresh, and the yellow is warm and buttery. Mixed across your nails, the combination is cheerful without tipping into loud. How to wear the three together You don't have to pick just one. Alternate the three shades across your hands for a mix-and-match manicure, or keep it simpler with one shade on most nails and the other two as accents. Because all three are soft pastels, they never clash with each other, so there's no wrong combination. When it works It's an easy warm-weather set, but the softness of all three tones means it also suits everyday wear without feeling seasonal. It's a popular pick for anyone easing into colour after wearing neutrals for a while. The details Three pastel designs: blush pink, soft mint, and pale butter yellow Long-wearing semi-cured gel lasts up to two weeks with lamp curing Pairs beautifully with Gloss Top Coat to intensify the pastel tones Shop Candy Bar

Barbie Pink: A Bold Fluro Pink for Every Season

Barbie Pink is not a shade for blending in. It's a bold, solid fluro-bright pink built for anyone who wants their manicure seen from across the room, and it's stayed part of the permanent range since it launched for exactly that reason. Each wrap gives full, saturated coverage in a vivid, playful pink with a glossy finish. It's punchy enough to anchor an entire look, but it's also genuinely easy to wear day to day, it just depends on how loud you want your hands to be that week. Where it works Barbie Pink reads just as fun against denim and sneakers as it does with a going-out outfit. It's a popular pick heading into summer, for festivals, or for anyone who wants a colour that photographs well, it holds its saturation under flash and in daylight alike. Styling it On its own it's already a statement, so there's no need to overthink the rest of the look. If you want to dress it up, a scattering of Silver Stars or Gold Bows nail art decals over one or two accent nails adds a bit of sparkle without fighting the colour.
