Try on Gel Base Tints Easily with a Swatch Wheel

If you have tons of hard or soft gels in so many different shades, you are probably facing a similar challange to mine. Everytime I sit down to do my nails, I sit at the table trying to decide exactly which base color I need! I have like 4 different pinks, and that's not even including the nude shades.

If you want to find a way to organize your color gel bases so that you can easily try them on your nails and know which bottle to grab - this labeled colored bases swatch wheel will do the trick for you. All you need is a couple of swatch tips and you're ready to go.

All my pinks - color hard base swatch wheel

Apply a coat of soft or hard gel base on the display swatch tips - start with a slip layer and then level a bead of product onto the nail to create structure, just like you do a normal anatomic structure manicure. Cure the product under a gel light fully, 1 minute. Remove the tacky layer to neutralize the inhibition layer of the gel by spraying a no lint pad with 95% alcohol and rubbing off the nails with it.

Finally, attach the right labels to each swatch tip - make sure to keep the order during the process or you'll lose track of which is pinky and which is barbie pink. Connect all tips on a ring, and viola! Your swatch wheel is ready to be hanged anywhere for your next gel manicure or fill.
