Phantasm - HEMA FREE Essentials Chameleon Flake Top Coat 10g

A Haunting Iridescent Shift of Purple, Magenta & Pink

Ethereal, mysterious and constantly changing, Phantasm is an iridescent chameleon flake special-effect gel polish top coat filled with captivating flashes of purple, violet, magenta and pink.

Over black and darker colours, Phantasm reveals its most dramatic form. The chameleon flakes glow against the dark base, shifting between vivid violet and rich purple with flashes of electric pink and magenta appearing as the nail catches the light.

Over lighter colours, Phantasm takes on an entirely different personality. Its transparent iridescent flakes create a delicate aurora-style effect, floating over the colour underneath with soft flashes of pink, lilac and violet.

It's there... and then it isn't.

Now You See It...

Like something glimpsed from the corner of your eye, Phantasm refuses to look exactly the same twice.

Its irregular iridescent flakes react to changes in lighting, movement and viewing angle, revealing different elements of the colour shift as the nail moves.

Against black, the contrast intensifies everything. Rich purples, vibrant violet, glowing magenta and flashes of pink emerge from the darkness, creating a dramatic supernatural effect.

Move Phantasm onto a lighter base and its character softens completely.

Over nude, pink, lilac and other lighter shades, the transparent flakes allow the base colour to remain visible while adding a luminous veil of shifting colour. Instead of appearing like a conventional glitter, the flakes catch and release flashes of colour to create a beautiful aurora-like finish.

One bottle can therefore create an enormous variety of finished manicures simply by changing the colour beneath it.

Dark Base or Light Base?

🖤 Over Black & Dark Colours

Black reveals the strongest representation of Phantasm's chameleon shift.

Expect vivid purple, violet, magenta and pink, with the dominant colour changing as the angle of the nail and lighting change.

The contrast against a dark base also makes the individual irregular flakes particularly visible, creating incredible depth across the nail.

🌌 Over Light & Bright Colours

Over lighter colours, Phantasm becomes softer, more translucent and beautifully ethereal.

The iridescent flakes appear as delicate flashes of pink, lilac, purple and violet, creating an aurora-style effect while allowing your chosen gel polish colour to show through underneath.

Change the base shade and you'll change the finished effect.

A Different Phantasm with Every Colour

The base colour beneath Phantasm isn't simply a background – it becomes part of the finished design.

Layer it over black and the flakes become intense and dramatic. Place it over pink and those magenta flashes can blend beautifully into the base. Apply it over a pale nude and the effect becomes considerably more delicate, with flashes of purple and pink appearing as the nail moves.

That versatility makes Phantasm particularly useful for professional nail technicians. Rather than creating a single predetermined colour, it allows you to experiment with your existing gel polish collection and discover completely new combinations.

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.
