Gel Polish - Rod, 10 ml
SKU: 941572
Rod Gel Polish, 10 ml by ReformA is a pink-tinted black with a cool undertone. Silver reflective flash particles light it up, and two coats cover completely. Dark and dramatic for evening nails.
The pink note in the black base comes through under direct light, and the silver particles strengthen the effect. It comes in a 10 ml bottle with a brush. Apply Rod 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 Rod 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
How do I remove gel polish that has grown out and lifted at the edges?
Never peel it: the lifted coating takes the top layer of the nail with it and leaves the plate thinner for months. File the lifted areas down, take the top coat off Rod, then soak off the rest with remover.
How is Rod different from Carols?
Both carry silver reflective particles and cover fully in two coats; the difference is the base. Carols is a black with a neutral undertone, while Rod has a pink note and a cool undertone.
Does Rod need two coats of top?
No. Unlike glitter, reflective flash particles do not create texture, so one even coat of top is enough over Rod. Cure it fully and the surface stays smooth.
