After Hours – HEMA FREE Gel Polish 10g

A Rich, Muted Berry Red for Autumn After Dark

Sophisticated, warm and beautifully understated, After Hours is a rich muted berry-red gel polish that captures the deeper, more refined side of autumn colour.

Part of our Fall: After Dark Collection, After Hours sits beautifully between a dusty red, deep rose and muted cranberry. Its softened undertones take away the brightness of a classic red, creating a shade that feels warm, mature and effortlessly wearable while still delivering plenty of colour.

With its smooth flat-colour finish, After Hours is the perfect choice when your client wants something richer than a nude but softer than a traditional statement red.

Think the last glass of wine, candlelit tables, crisp evenings and conversations that continue long after everyone else has gone home.

When Day Turns to Night...

There is something timeless about a beautifully muted red, and After Hours has been designed to become one of those dependable shades you reach for throughout autumn and beyond.

Its earthy berry undertones give it depth without making the colour overly dark, allowing it to complement a wide variety of skin tones and nail lengths. On short natural nails it feels chic and sophisticated; on longer enhancements it creates an elegant expanse of rich autumn colour.

After Hours also works beautifully within seasonal nail art. Pair it with ochre, forest green, burnt orange, chocolate and warm neutrals for autumn designs, or introduce gold detailing for a more luxurious finish.

It is a colour that can move effortlessly from the salon through to evening – polished, sophisticated and just a little bit seductive.
