Canadian gel manufacturer en Vogue is releasing a new all-in-one Lac It! gel polish kit with shades for the tortoiseshell design, including two new JELLY shades, paired with a bold neon to send off the summer or toned down for pre-fall.
The limited edition kit comes with three new Lac It! colors, one fan-favorite staple — Black Lac It! — and en Vogue’s Oval Gel Brush. Additionally, the kit has a QR code which directs nail technicians to a complete tortoiseshell nail design tutorial. And to remind us why nails are fun, en Vogue is launching this kit on #InternationalCatDay!
Black: Classic, high pigment true black.
Chocolate Tortie: A dark, true brown crème.
Tortitude: A dark brown jelly.
Calico: A jelly amber, the perfect base for tortoiseshell nails.
With this release, en Vogue provides techs with an all-in-one package for creating the tortoiseshell design (from the colors, to the tools, to the education), but also sparks creativity and with two new jelly shades. “We think nail techs will have a lot of fun layering these shades, creating dimension and interesting designs," said a spokesperson for en Vogue. "We can’t wait to see what they come up with!”
