Anela's Pro Tip

"Competition French tips must be impeccably white – Intense White reliably delivers this quality. My most important pro tip: really increase the UV time to 4 minutes, even if the lamp indicates 3 minutes for other gels. The Titanium Dioxide in the white pigment requires additional time for complete curing. Half-hearted curing immediately shows up as a milky haze under jury light." – Anela Mucic, World Champion Nail Design 2023 & INJA Juror

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Intense White require 4 minutes UV instead of 3?
Titanium Dioxide (white pigment) absorbs UV light, thereby slowing down the curing process. The extended UV time ensures that the gel cures completely and evenly – incomplete curing leads to shading and an unstable structure in white gels.

Which pink gels pair best with the white tip?
Anela recommends Pink V as a warm French pink base for Intense White – the combination looks particularly natural and harmonious under competition lighting. As an alternative, Pink II is suitable for cooler, younger looks.

Does the white remain radiant even after several weeks?
Yes, the formula is specifically designed against yellowing and remains stably white even after prolonged wear.

Can I use Intense White for full white overlays instead of just French tips?
Yes, the gel is also suitable for full white overlays and freehand white sculpting.
