Gel Polish - Harlem, 10 ml

Harlem Gel Polish, 10 ml by ReformA is a red with a warm brick-rust undertone and full coverage in two coats. A warm brick red for single-colour autumn nails.

The rust undertone pulls the red towards terracotta, so Harlem looks more muted than a classic red and sits more easily against warm skin. It comes in a 10 ml bottle with a brush. Apply Harlem over a cured base and seal it with a top coat.

How to apply

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Apply Rubber Base or Base Coat in one thin layer and cure.
4. Apply Harlem in one or two thin coats, curing each coat.
5. Finish with a top coat and cure according to its instructions.
6. 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 choose a red gel polish that suits me?
Start with the undertone rather than the brightness. Harlem is a red with a warm brick-rust undertone, so it looks natural on warm and tanned skin. On very fair, cool skin the same shade reads with more contrast, which is a matter of taste rather than a mistake.

What is the difference between Harlem and Aphrodisiac?
Both are warm reds with full coverage in two coats. Harlem has a brick-rust undertone, Aphrodisiac a warm orange one. Next to each other, Harlem looks muted and earthy, Aphrodisiac brighter.

Can I use Harlem for a French?
Yes. Paint the smile line in Harlem over a beige base from our cover base range. The warm brick red against beige keeps the whole set in one warm palette.
