Tint Base HEYLOVE Elephant - 15 ml

Tint Base HEYLOVE Elephant: the neutral grey of the Lifestyle collection

Elephant is a grey with no bias. Neither warm nor cool, it lives up to its name: a mineral colour, sober, which does not seek to seduce but imposes itself by its rightness.

A collection of deeper shades

The distinction matters when ordering. Lifestyle brings together dense greys, greens and browns, the opposite of the light nude collections. These are not display colours like the vivid shades, but wardrobe tones: they accompany a wardrobe rather than punctuate it. An urban, adult clientele finds exactly what it is looking for, and these shades renew themselves more slowly than fashion colours.

Grey forgives nothing in the preparation

That is the trade-off with these shades. Grey does not mask ridges and irregularities of the nail bed, it underlines them. Insist on degreasing under the cuticle and in the sidewalls, and take the time to level the foundation properly before laying down the colour.

How to apply it

Degrease with pH Bond HEYLOVE, lay the acid-free primer Ultra Bond HEYLOVE on the free edge and let it dry completely. Apply a coat of Rubber Base HEYLOVE Clear as a foundation, cure for 30 seconds, then one or two coats of Tint Base to cure for 60 seconds in a UV or LED lamp before the top coat.

With which decoration

Neutral grey accepts silver as readily as gold, which is rare and makes it a particularly flexible nail art ground. Fine white lines stand out on it with great crispness.

When to suggest it

All year round, with a peak in the season that matches its temperature. Sales advice weighs more than the calendar here.

Which top to finish with

Gloss preserves the depth of the shade; a matte finish gives it a more contemporary look.
