Product Headline
A nail tint that creates a custom blush shade that adapts to each person’s individual nail pH, leaving behind a rosy tint. Taking inspiration from K-beauty lip tints, the tint leaves its rose tone while infusing the nails with ingredients including brightening and nourishing vitamins C and E; nourishing mastic gum oil; and silica to smooth the nails. When applied, the product’s glossy shine lasts for up to five days, while after removal nails are left looking brighter, and the pH-activated rosy glow remains. No base or topcoat is needed with the tint, which can be used to address nail discoloration while boosting nails’ overall appearance.
