Educator Lorena Marquez shows how many different shades can be achieved by starting with one dark color base, and then applying other Entity color gels on top of it. The farthest left photo shows three coats of Little Black Bottle with no layering, then the other tips use that as a base while layering on one coat of the specified color.

1. Three coats of Little Black Bottle with no color layering.

4. Ms. Fancy Pants.

5. Holo-glam It Up.

6. Under The Lights.

To properly layer the gels:

Cure each layer of the darker colors for three minutes in a UV Lamp or 30 seconds in an LED Light. For light to medium colors, cure each layer for two minutes in a UV Lamp or 20 seconds in an LED Light.
