1. PREPARATION: Thoroughly prepare the nail, removing any dead skin and loose cuticle off and around the nail plate. Lightly buff the nail with a sponge buffer to remove any dirt and excess shine. Wipe any moisture from the nail using alcohol to prepare it for your gel application.
2. BASE: Apply Base Gel (Recommended: Nail Thoughts Builder Base) to the natural nail and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp.
3. OMBRÉ: Open the cushion compact. Use the metal grabber to pick up a mini dabbing sponge and dab it on the pre-soaked cushion. Dab the color onto the nail where you want the blend, building intensity gradually. Cure for 30 seconds LED or 60 seconds UV. Repeat in thin layers until you reach your preferred opacity.
4. TOP: Apply Top Coat Gel and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp.
NOTE:
Apply in thin layers — thick application can cause an uneven surface or improper curing.
Close the compact and store out of direct light at room temperature after each use.
We recommend using a strong curing unit and following the recommended curing times for each step.
Be careful not to get gel onto the skin. Uncured gel left on the skin can cause allergic reactions. Discontinue use immediately if itching, redness or swelling occurs, and contact a physician.

Finally get the perfect gel blend every time — with built-in cushion gels that make ombré easy, even and controlled.
This kit includes 8 individual cushion gels plus a mini sponge and grabber tool set. Each compact opens to a built-in cushion sponge already soaked in gel color. Pick up a dabbing sponge with the metal grabber and dab it on the cushion — the pre-soaked cushion gives a far more even, buildable ombré application, so you stay in full control of every blend.
The Barista Series brings 8 classic blending colors for baby boomer nails, for concealing the natural nail under sheer colors, and for a seamless natural-nail look on clear extensions. These colors apply thinner than painted-on gel, leaving a smoother, less bulky finish.
Set includes:
• NTC-01 Steamed Milk — solid white for French-tip ombré • NTC-02 Splash of Cream — off-white cream, matches the natural free edge • NTC-03 Pink Cold Foam — light white-pink • NTC-04 Strawberry Drizzle — warm bubblegum pink • NTC-05 Cherry Mocha — warm mauve-pink • NTC-06 Raspberry Syrup — warm sunset pink • NTC-07 Toasted Coconut — opaque peachy-tan • NTC-08 Brown Sugar — taupe with a slight pink hue • Mini Sponge & Grabber Kit
Why nail techs love it:
• Even, streak-free ombré without painting or guesswork • Buildable color — add intensity layer by layer • Thinner application for a slimmer, less bulky finish • Perfect for baby boomer, French ombré and natural-nail extensions • HEMA-free formula
Designed for professional performance and clean, flawless blends.
