How do you read an AdheRe shade name?
The QS number is the shade code and the Chinese words after it are the shade name. The brand releases shades in named series, and its swatch cards print the series name: 秘境花园 (Secret Garden), 半城繁花季 (Blossom Season), Jewelry Fair and 采·秋 (Autumn). Search by the QS code to find a shade quickly.
How many coats does AdheRe cat eye gel need?
It depends on the shade, and the brand states it on each swatch card. Sheer shades such as QS763 薄荷茶 and QS852 日光百合 are meant for one coat. Deeper shades such as QS767 一杯罗勒 are shown with two. Each product page lists the brand's advice for that shade.
Which magnet works with AdheRe cat eye gel?
Any nail magnet works. The brand suggests a small magnet for a side-light cat eye and a large one for a wide band. A few shades need more pull: QS2155 月之咏叹 calls for a magnet stick of 2 to 3 sections.
Why does the colour look different from the photo?
Cat eye gel is built on magnetic powder, so the light band moves with the viewing angle and the room lighting. Multi-colour shades such as QS1173 黑布林 shift between several colours, and shades with the iridescent 云锦 material, such as QS1210 云端, read differently in daylight and under indoor LED light.
