Features and Benefits:

Perfectly Balanced Neutral: Shade #08 is a curated taupe-brown that provides a clean, elongated look to the fingers, making it the ideal "your nails but better" shade for all skin tones.
Professional Durability: As a staple of the AEON Winter Series, this gel is formulated to resist chipping, cracking, and peeling, maintaining its integrity for up to 4 weeks.

Cost-Effective 15ml Bottle: The generous volume ensures you have plenty of product for numerous services, making it a highly profitable addition to any professional salon kit.

How to Use:

Preparation: Cleanse the nails, shape them to the desired form, and gently push back the cuticles. Use a fine-grit buffer to remove the natural oils from the nail plate.
Base Layer: Apply a thin layer of Base Coat (available at Oz Nails & Beauty Supply) and cure under an LED lamp for 30s or a UV lamp for 60s.
Color Application: Apply a thin, even coat of AEON Taupe Brown #08. Ensure you cap the edges to prevent lifting.
Curing: Cure under the LED lamp for 30–60 seconds.
Second Coat: Apply a second layer to build full opacity and achieve the true, creamy taupe hue. Cure again.
Seal with Top Coat: Apply a High-Shine or Matte Top Coat to protect the color. Cure for a final 60 seconds.
Finish: Wipe away any sticky residue (if required) and apply nourishing cuticle oil to complete the professional look.

FAQs:

Is Taupe Brown #08 more grey or more brown? It is a true taupe, meaning it sits perfectly in the middle—it changes subtly depending on the lighting, looking warmer in sunlight and cooler indoors.
Can I use this for a French manicure base? Yes! It is an excellent modern alternative to traditional pink bases for a "muted" or "deconstructed" French tip look.
Does this color require a specific brand of base coat? While AEON works best with its own system, it is compatible with most high-quality professional brands sold at Oz Nails & Beauty Supply.
How do I achieve a matte look with this color? Simply apply a Matte Top Coat instead of a glossy one; this shade looks exceptionally high-fashion in a matte finish.
Is it a soak-off or hard gel? This is a soak-off gel polish, which can be safely removed with acetone without excessive drilling.
Will this color fade or turn yellow? No, the AEON formula contains advanced color-stabilizers to ensure the taupe remains true and vibrant until your next salon visit.
How many coats are needed for full coverage? Two thin coats are standard for a completely opaque, professional finish.
Is this product HEMA-free? AEON offers various formulas; please check the specific bottle labeling or contact Oz Nails & Beauty Supply for the latest HEMA-free collection details.
Can I use this on acrylic or builder gel? Absolutely! It applies beautifully over acrylic, dipping powder, or builder gel extensions.
How should I store the bottle? Keep it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and away from your nail lamp while it is in use to prevent the gel from curing inside the bottle.
