Hypnotized by Gel-X Nail Art: Unleash Creativity

If you’ve been reading our blogs, you may have noticed that we’re a bit hypnotized by all things Aprés. We were already in love with the Gel-X System, and our recent Aprés Gel-X Demo Show was further testament to these phenomenal nail products. One big takeaway from the Aprés Demo Show was that Aprés is much more than just the Gel-X System. Their popular Gel-X nail art products—including the gel polish we’re sharing in today’s blog— are also top-of-the-line. Acquiring skill with Gel-X nail art can help salon owners and nail techs bring extra value to clients who are seeking the Gel-X System. In today’s blog, we’ll share more about one of these phenomenal nail art products: Aprés HypnoGel.

What is Aprés HypnoGel?

This particular type of Aprés Soft Gel Polish is infused with magnetic glitter. Similar to cat eye gel polish by Valentino Beauty, HypnoGel uses a magnet to help pull glittering color to the surface of the nail. The result is a stunning, shimmering nail with both depth and brightness. The end result is, in a word—hypnotizing.

Four Sets of Aprés Gel-X Nail Art

Yes, you read that right. There are four sets of HypnoGel colors, and each is more stunning than the last. Here’s a little overview of what we love about each of these Aprés beauties:

• The Shimmer Set (Aprés HypnoGel Sets #1 and #2, sold together): This set includes shimmering shades of blue, green, silver, red, purple, and brown (six shades total). These are refined, earthy colors with a subtle twinkle. Perfect for the understated fashionista who doesn’t want to go unnoticed.

• The Glitter Set (Aprés Hypno Gel Set #3): The glitter set includes dark blue amethyst, blue amazonite, forest green pyrite, purple garnet, glowing gold amber, and green peridot. These gem-inspired glitters are goddess-worthy!

• The Chameleon Set (Aprés HypnoGel Set #4): This super-bright set of colors takes Gel-X Nail Art to cosmic levels. With colors like “Twilight” and “Aurora,” you’ll be the shining star at your next event!

How to Apply Aprés Gel-X Nail Art

Here’s how to use HypnoGel: Apply your favorite HypnoGel color and cure for thirty seconds with an LED lamp. Apply a second layer and then, before curing, use a magnet wand or the HypnoPen included in the set to pull the magnetic gel into your desired constellation. Once you’re satisfied with the design, cure the second layer for another thirty seconds. Finish with a layer of Aprés Non-Wipe Top Coat to ensure your nail art lasts for weeks.
