What types of combinations are there?
There are three main types of color combinations, which are based on the placement of shades on the color wheel.
Achromatic combination
This is a combination of white, black and gray. This combination creates a feeling of stability and conservatism. By using a colored element in an achromatic design, you will add a touch of dynamics to the composition and focus on the bright element.
Monochromatic combination
This is a combination of different shades of the same color. With such a composition, you can safely play with textures using a matte top and design materials.
Complementary combination
This combination is created by contrast and adds dynamics and energy to the design. Also, in a complementary color combination, you can choose as the second color not the strictly opposite color in the circle, but the color that is on the left or right. This way the composition will maintain dynamics and add an elusive “zest”.
The best option for decorative nail coating
There is no doubt that a decorative coating is an almost ideal option for a beautiful manicure, and the color palette of gel polishes in the photo is truly impressive.
In terms of popularity, Bluesky holds the first place. The advantage of this brand is that the varnish:
- lies flat on the nail plate;
- dries quickly enough;
- does not give off an unpleasant odor;
- takes good care of nails;
- Provides excellent manicure for two to three weeks.
The Bluesky palette includes more than 500 different shades - from warm and light pastel tones to rich and bright ones.

Bluesky gel polish looks truly stunning in the color palette.
A variety of inexpensive nail polishes
To a lesser extent, but still quite popular, are the medium-priced gel polishes Kodi and budget TNL. Their palette includes from 400 to 500 shades, and the assortment includes coatings with all sorts of effects, such as cat's eye. Kodi's polishes have a number of advantages:

We should also pay attention to the TNL collection. This budget series is in no way inferior in quality to expensive and well-known brands.

How to use gel polish palettes
If you are interested in shellac shades, use these instructions.
- Apply the desired color to the tip.
- Cure by placing the display portion under a UV or LED lamp.
- If the coating is of insufficient density, cover the workpiece with a second layer and dry it in the device.
- Cover with clear varnish instead of topcoat to save money.
- Indicate the number of the tone used in the empty space of the gel polish palette.
If you want to apply acrylic paint or regular varnish, let the coating air dry.
Many displays are good for repeated painting. This is important if you are looking for cheaper or more beautiful analogues of an existing color. To remove gel polish from tips, remove the clear polish with nail polish remover. File away the color without removing it completely. Dip in hot water for 10 seconds and scrub off with a pusher.
Benefits of use
- Convenience for the nail artist. Place the device in front of you and use it like an artist. The display will allow you to find a tone that perfectly matches your idea and perfectly complements your nail art. You will create and preserve interesting tandems of colors when mixing different coatings, find out the harmony of the intended gradient or ornament. You will be able to classify coatings by type, color, texture, presence of effects and decide what is missing in the selection.
- Helping a client. It’s easier for a salon visitor to make a choice by looking at the dyed tips and trying them on herself in her mind. She will study the presented nail design options (painting, patterns with rhinestones and foil, lace, etc.) and find out your level of professionalism.
