Tint Base HEYLOVE Lemonade - 15 ml

Tint Base HEYLOVE Lemonade: the shimmer pale yellow of Pop Drinks

Lemonade is a heavily lightened yellow, almost butter, softened by a milky finish and run through with a silver shimmer. It is a yellow designed to be worn, not to be noticed from across a room, and that is precisely what most yellows on the market lack.

Two ways to make a yellow wearable

The first is to warm it towards gold, as Tint Base HEYLOVE Ginger does. The second is to lighten it into milkiness, which is the route taken here. The results are very different: Ginger asserts a colour, Lemonade proposes a nuance. For a client who is afraid of yellow, it is the second approach that works.

How to apply it

After pH Bond HEYLOVE and Ultra Bond HEYLOVE, apply Rubber Base HEYLOVE Clear, cure for 30 seconds, then two coats of Lemonade at 60 seconds. Pale yellows easily let the pink of the nail show through: the second coat is what guarantees a clean, homogeneous ground across the whole plate.

In gradients and nail art

Its paleness makes it an excellent starting point for a gradient towards a deeper shade in the collection. It also serves as a very legible ground for fine dark linework, where saturated yellows tend to absorb the decoration instead of showing it off. The contrast stays readable even on very fine motifs.

When to suggest it

From May to September, as a full coat on short nails for a fresh effect, or as an accent among the other pastels of the collection. It pairs particularly well with Tint Base HEYLOVE Borjomi, whose cool blue creates a very summery contrast, or with Tint Base HEYLOVE Soda for a more restrained combination. It also works nicely in summer pedicure, where a pale yellow reads far more easily on the feet than it does on the hands.
