Which Vinimay cat eye gel should I choose?
Crystal Ice is the translucent, icy line with 12 colours. Disco is the dense, high-sparkle line with 9 colours and the sharpest band. Rainbow is a clear holographic layer that goes over any colour you already own. All three are 15 ml, cure in a UV or LED lamp and need a cat eye magnet.
Spider gel, poke gel, blooming gel or marble ink?
Each makes a different pattern. Spider gel pulls into thin, straight threads for lines and webs. Poke gel is dotted onto wet Poke Gel Base and breaks into lace and crackle. Blooming Liquid is a clear wet layer that lets gel colour spread into watercolour. Marble ink is a fluid ink that travels by itself into veins and smoke.
Are Vinimay gels cured with UV or LED?
Both. The bottles and jars are marked UV/LED or UV&LED, and the gel polishes are soak-off. The marble inks and the spray and solid powders are not gels: they are sealed under a gel top coat.
