Tint Base HEYLOVE Microgreen - 15 ml

Tint Base HEYLOVE Microgreen: the yellow green of the Juicy collection

Microgreen occupies the tipping point between yellow and green. Neither quite lemon nor quite shoot, it retains a tart freshness that pure greens do not have. It is a transition shade in every sense of the word, and that is exactly where its interest lies.

A colour that shifts with the light

Shades sitting on the boundary between two colours are the least stable to the eye. In daylight, Microgreen reads as a light green. Under the warm lighting of a salon or a restaurant, the yellow takes over again. Warn your client: she will see two different shades across the day, which becomes an asset the moment she knows about it in advance.

How to apply it

Usual routine: pH Bond HEYLOVE, Ultra Bond HEYLOVE, Rubber Base HEYLOVE Clear cured for 30 seconds, then one or two coats of Microgreen at 60 seconds each. Like every tart pale shade, it needs complete coverage so the natural colour of the nail does not come back through.

What to pair it with

It sits naturally with the other cool pastels of the series, notably Tint Base HEYLOVE Sorbet and Tint Base HEYLOVE Dorblu, on a hand where each finger carries a different shade. Against a warm nude, by contrast, the clash becomes harsh: better to stay within the same temperature family.

At which time of year

This is a March to June shade, the one that tips a colour display towards spring. In the salon, changing two or three shades on your display at the first fine weather is often enough to revive colour requests from a clientele settled into nude all year round. Two or three shades swapped on your display at the first warm days are often enough to revive colour requests from clients settled into nude all year.
