A decadent red-brown velvet, yours to savour.

Designed to create a velvet-like effect, these polishes transform with the sweep of our Strong Velvet Magnets, pulling fine pigments into a dazzling dimensional shimmer that shifts with every move.

Apply Gelous Base Coat and cure, then apply one coat of Gelous Velvet Mocha Colour Coat. While uncured, hover and sweep the Gelous Strong Velvet Magnets around your nail to create the perfect velvet effect. Once satisfied, cure. If desired, apply a second coat and repeat. Finish with Gelous Top Coat, curing each coat under the Gelous UV/LED Gel Nail Lamp.

The colour is much more christmas red in real life, I was hoping for something more brown as per the images and name.

Stunning!
When this was released alongside the other velvets, this one immediately caught my eye! No regrets buying this at all! The perfect brown shade with the subtle (depending on your magnet/design) sparkle. Love!
