Gel Polish - Shopping Time, 10 ml
SKU: 941142
Shopping Time Gel Polish, 10 ml by ReformA is a deep violet with a cool purple lean. Two coats give full coverage. Bold, solid colour for confident nails.
The cool purple undertone gives the violet a berry lean, so it looks deeper than a pure lavender. Each 10 ml bottle has a brush. Apply Shopping Time over a cured base and seal it with a top coat.

How to apply
- Prep the cuticle area with Cuticle Remover: apply a small amount to the cuticle, gently push it back with an orange stick or a pusher and lift off the pterygium.
- Prep the nail plate: degrease it with a cleanser such as Cleanser, then dehydrate it with Nail Prep. Duo Prep covers both steps in one product. Then apply Ultrabond Primer for better adhesion to the nail plate. The primer needs no curing, it air-dries.
- Apply Rubber Base or Base Coat in one thin layer and cure.
- Apply Shopping Time in one or two thin coats, curing each coat.
- Finish with a top coat and cure according to its instructions.
- Wait at least 60 seconds after curing the top coat before applying cuticle oil, so the top coat keeps its shine.
Gel polish curing time: 60-120 sec in an LED lamp, 30-60 sec in a 48 W dual LED lamp. Curing time depends on the power of the lamp and its LEDs, so check it separately for each product.
Frequently asked questions
Does gel polish damage nails?
Not by itself. The real culprits are an over-zealous file at the prep stage, pulling the coating away, or forcing it off before the remover has done its job. Prep lightly and take your time at removal, and the nail stays intact under Shopping Time.
How is Shopping Time different from In Da Club?
Shopping Time has a cool purple undertone and a deeper tone, while In Da Club is an even violet with a neutral undertone. Side by side, Shopping Time reads more berry-like.
Does a deep violet suit warm skin tones?
The cool purple lean reads most clearly on cool and neutral skin. On warm skin Shopping Time looks more contrasting, which is a matter of taste rather than a mistake.
Colours on screen can look different from the real shade: monitor calibration and display settings both affect it. If you are unsure about a shade, get in touch and we will show you the actual colour.
