High-Pigment Gel

A high-pigment gel polish holds enough color to sit opaque on the nail, so what you see in the pot is what ends up on your hand rather than a lighter version shifted by the nail underneath. Apply it in thin layers and let each one cure fully, since dense color blocks more light than a sheer one does. Choose a high-pigment formula when matching an exact shade matters more to you than how many coats it takes.
