Hex – HEMA FREE Essentials Chameleon Flake Top Coat 10g

A Bewitching Iridescent Shift of Pink, Red, Orange & Gold

Fiery, enchanting and impossible to pin down, Hex is an iridescent chameleon flake special-effect gel polish top coat filled with captivating flashes of hot pink, red, orange, copper and gold.

Over black and darker colours, Hex reveals its most intense form. Against the darkness, its irregular chameleon flakes ignite with vivid pink and red, shifting through fiery orange, warm copper and flashes of glowing gold as the nail moves.

Layer Hex over lighter colours and the spell changes completely. The transparent iridescent flakes allow the base colour to remain visible, creating a softer aurora-style effect with luminous flashes of pink, peach, coral and warm golden tones appearing across the nail.

One effect. Countless transformations.

Consider Yourself Hexed...

Hex brings together some of the warmest and most vibrant shifts in the range.

Its magic is at its most dramatic over black, where the contrast reveals an intense spectrum of pink, red and fiery orange. As the viewing angle changes, warmer copper and golden flashes emerge between the brighter colours, giving the finished manicure incredible movement and depth.

But darkness is only one side of Hex.

Over lighter colours, those same chameleon flakes become softer and more ethereal. Rather than appearing as intensely saturated pieces of colour, they create delicate iridescent flashes that interact with the shade underneath.

Try it over a soft pink for a glowing rosy effect, over nude for a delicate warm aurora, or over reds and oranges to intensify its fiery character.

Every base colour casts a different spell.

Dark Base or Light Base?

🖤 Over Black & Dark Colours

Black reveals the full intensity of Hex.

The chameleon flakes glow with vivid pink and red, shifting through orange, copper and gold as the nail moves through different angles and lighting.

Against a dark base, the individual irregular flakes are clearly defined, creating a dramatic scattered-fire effect across the nail.

🌌 Over Light & Bright Colours

Over lighter colours, Hex becomes more delicate and translucent.

The iridescent flakes create an aurora-style veil of pink, peach, coral, orange and warm golden flashes while allowing the original gel polish colour to remain visible underneath.

The finished effect changes depending on the base colour – giving nail technicians endless opportunities to experiment.

What Will You Put a Hex On?

The real magic of Hex begins when you experiment with the colour underneath.

Over black, the contrast allows its vivid pink, red and fiery orange character to dominate. Over burgundy, those warm flashes can become richer and more sultry. Layer it over red or orange and the flakes can appear to become part of the colour itself.

Take Hex onto a pale pink, nude or other lighter shade and you'll discover something entirely different – a softer wash of iridescent colour that catches the light without hiding what's underneath.

And because the flakes react to lighting and viewing angle, even the same manicure can reveal different colours throughout the day.

The swatch over black demonstrates the full intensity of the chameleon flakes. Results over other colours will vary depending on the shade underneath, lighting and viewing angle.
