A'DOR Pat Pat Gel - Soft Nude

A'DOR Pat Pat Gel Soft Nude: an air-cushion gradient gel palette in a flip-top compact. A fine mesh over the cushion meters how much gel the sponge picks up, which A'DOR designs to reduce waste and keep each pat even, for ombre, aura, blush and gradient nails; A'DOR quotes up to 21 days of wear under a top coat.

Why artists pick it

• Multifunctional: full coverage, gradients and painted designs from one pan.
• Highly pigmented: rich color in one pass of the sponge.
• Smooth and glossy once cured and sealed.
• A little goes a long way, so a pan lasts.

How to use

1. Prep and cure a gel base (Base & Top Gel); for an ombre or aura, cure a light gel color first as the ground.
2. Press a sponge from the sponge and grabber set onto the pan.
3. Pat onto the nail: evenly for a solid, densely at one end and fading out for a gradient. Flash cure, pat a second layer to deepen, cure.
4. For lines and designs, pick the gel up on a detail brush from Nail Art instead.
5. Seal with a glossy gel top and cure.

Questions

Pat gel or brush-on gel for an ombre? A brush-on gel goes translucent and streaky when sponged; a pat gel is dense enough to stay opaque on the sponge, so the gradient fades clean.

One sponge per shade? Yes. A sponge that has touched two pans muddies both; the 100-piece set is sized for that habit.

How is it removed? Patted gel is sealed under top coat and soaks off with the rest of the gel set: file the top thin, wrap in acetone, wait, push.
