Anela's Pro Tip

"I use Pink IV specifically for free-form sculpting at competitions – the extra-strong formula holds even for long, curved shapes without breaking. An important pro tip: When doing pedicures, always cap the free edges of the toenails extra carefully, as pedicure enhancements experience more mechanical stress than fingernails. Pink IV gives me the necessary security – and for the final glossy finish, I always top it off with Intense Seal." – Anela Mucic, World Champion Nail Design 2023 & INJA Juror

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes Pink IV from the other pink shades?
Pink IV has an extra-strong formula with a self-leveling consistency and is specifically designed for free-form sculpting, tip overlays, and pedicures. Pink II and Pink V are standard building gels for natural, rosy enhancements with a slightly softer consistency.

Does the gel provide a mirror shine on its own?
The formula applies very smoothly, reducing the need for filing – however, the actual permanent mirror shine is created by the final sealing with Intense Seal after filing, not by the building gel alone.

Is Pink IV also suitable for fingernails, not just pedicures?
Yes, the extra-strong formula is also excellent for fingernails, especially for free-form sculpting without forms.

Why should I cap the free edge especially for pedicures?
Toenails are subjected to greater mechanical stress from shoes and movement than fingernails – a carefully capped edge prevents premature lifting.

Does Pink IV yellow over long periods of wear?
No, the formula is specifically developed to resist yellowing and heat development.
