Tint Base HEYLOVE Russet

Tint Base HEYLOVE Russet: the deepest rosy nude of the collection

Russet leans towards flesh pink, according to the description given by the brand's distributors. It closes the Nude Collection on the deeper side: still perfectly natural, yet dense enough to be noticed.

The nude that holds up in photographs

Very pale nudes almost always disappear in images. In an end-of-service photo, under salon lighting or on a phone, a milky white or an ivory lose their nuance and make the set look flat. Russet carries enough density to stay legible, which makes it a valuable shade if you post regularly to a professional Instagram account.

How to apply it

Dehydrate with pH Bond HEYLOVE, apply Ultra Bond HEYLOVE, then Rubber Base HEYLOVE Clear cured for 30 seconds. One or two coats of Russet, 60 seconds each. Its density often lets you settle for a single well-spread coat, which preserves the thinness of the set and shortens the appointment.

How to place it in the collection

Russet sits at the deep end of the Nude Collection, where Bride and Ivory occupy the pale end. Between them, Quartz and Flirt bring the pink, Taupe the grey, Peach the warmth. If you are building a first assortment, taking Bride, Nude and Russet already covers the full lightness spectrum of the collection.

Who to recommend it to

Clients who want a discreet manicure that is not invisible, and those who find pale nudes too washed out on their hands. It is also a good transition shade for gradually moving a client used to natural finishes towards colour, without imposing a change she would regret on the way out of the salon. Keep it near the front of your display: shades with this much presence tend to be chosen far more often when they are actually seen rather than described.
