The Next Dimension in Glitter Nail Design

These aren’t your average glitter gels. The new Crushed Glass Gels combine bold cherry tones with embedded crushed glitter for a deep, dimensional effect that moves with the light.

• Cherry Crush – A high-gloss semi-transparent dark Cherry red, filled with floating glitter particles. Think liquid luxury with a festive twist.

• Cranberry Crush – A high-gloss semi-transparent pink shade that gives depth and drama to any nail look filled with floating glitter particles

This gel isn’t about soft shimmer or icy frost — it’s intense, moody, and rich. The look is high-impact yet refined, ideal for clients who want sophisticated, trending holiday nails.
