Ride the velvet tide with this deep turquoise.

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 Tide 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.

It's OK
Sorry but I'm not in love with this colour. I bought Out Late as well and this colour is so similar but I prefer Out Late which has more bling and is a nicer colour IMO.
