Create a dark manicure with depth and sparkle using NAILSOFTHEDAY Obsidian 326 Reflective Gel Polish. This graphite-purple shade combines a smoky color palette with reflective shimmer, offering an elegant option for clients who enjoy darker nails with a decorative finish. The formula is described as self-leveling and designed to provide coverage in one thin coat. 

Obsidian brings together the understated character of graphite and the expressive appeal of purple. Its sparkling finish adds interest to a simple color application, making it a beautiful choice when the nails themselves are the main accessory.

Wear it across the entire set for a coordinated statement, or introduce it through accent nails and contrasting French tips. Whether the finished design is minimal or dramatic, Obsidian adds a distinctive dark shade to a professional gel polish collection.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Graphite-purple color: A smoky combination that pairs beautifully with cool neutrals and other deep shades.
• Reflective shimmer: Light-catching particles add brilliance and become more noticeable under direct illumination.
• One-coat coverage: Designed to cover the nail in a thin application, helping keep the color layer controlled.
• Self-leveling formula: Supports an even color surface when carefully distributed over a prepared base. 
• Versatile styling possibilities: Use for full-color manicures, statement accents, French tips, and geometric details.
• Beautiful color combinations: Pair with pale gray, soft lilac, cool nude, or solid black.
• An expressive occasion shade: Suitable for evening styling, festive manicures, and everyday looks with a sparkling detail.

Obsidian is especially appealing for clients who enjoy the mood of a dark manicure and want a color with subtle complexity. Its graphite-purple character gives it a distinctive place alongside traditional black, navy, and burgundy shades.

For a clean, coordinated look, apply Obsidian across every nail and finish with a clear glossy top. On short square nails, the dark color creates a defined appearance. On almond or longer shapes, the larger surface gives the reflective finish more room to show.

For a softer composition, combine Obsidian with a creamy gray or sheer nude. One sparkling accent can introduce the color without making the entire set dark. Alternatively, use it for narrow French tips, diagonal sections, or a curved detail against a natural-looking background.

HOW TO USE

1. Prepare the nails. Complete the manicure, shape the free edge, and remove dust. Clean the nail plate with NAILSOFTHEDAY Nail Prep.
2. Apply preparation liquids. Use NAILSOFTHEDAY Dehydrator followed by Ultrabond according to their individual instructions.
3. Apply a compatible base. The brand’s application method recommends NAILSOFTHEDAY Rubber Base or Scotch Base. Cure the selected base according to its instructions.
4. Apply the reflective color. Distribute Daiquiri evenly in a thin layer, keeping the product away from the skin and cuticle. Guide the brush carefully along the sidewalls without allowing product to collect at the edges.
5. Cure the color. The published curing times are 60 seconds in an LED lamp or 120 seconds in a UV lamp. Use a compatible lamp and follow the directions on the current product packaging.
6. Assess the coverage. If another layer is needed for the desired appearance, apply it thinly and cure separately. Maintain an even application rather than building a thick layer of glitter.
7. Finish with a top coat. Seal with a compatible top coat and cure according to that product’s instructions. A clear glossy finish is a natural styling choice when you want to emphasize the sparkling appearance.
8. Complete the service. Remove any sticky layer only if required by the top coat, then apply cuticle oil around the finished nails.
