V Beauty Pure gel colors at DTK
This page holds the gel polish half of V Beauty Pure: single 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) bottles of soak-off gel colour, each with its own number from 001 up to 243. There are no sets or combos here, so every listing is one shade you can reorder on its own. The formula is highly pigmented and covers in one or two thin coats, it lays down smoothly, and it cures under both LED and UV lamps. Some shades carry a name as well as a number, such as 212 Stargazing or 114 Italia; others are sold by number only, so check the swatch photo on the product page before you order.
Looking for the acrylic side of the brand, the liquids or the starter kits? They sit on the V Beauty Pure range page. Here we stay with colour: what the shades look like, which season each one is tagged for, and how to wear and remove them.
The palette by colour family
Every shade carries a colour tag on DTK, and some carry two (a coral can be tagged both orange and red). The table lists the families with shades that were in stock when this page was written. Stock moves daily, so the grid above is the live view.
| Colour tag | Shades in stock (examples) | Where they fit |
|---|---|---|
| Brown | 206 Gilded Couture, 212 Stargazing, 216 Single Af, 219 Successful, 220 Resilient, 221 Thriving, 222 Peaceful, 113 Badies | Neutral sets, fall and winter menus |
| Orange and coral | 001, 019, 020, 054, 058, 114 Italia, 116, 129 Glaze | Summer brights and warm accents |
| Purple | 025, 131 Ethereal, 143, 159 Jelly Cake, 240 Turning Violet | Evening sets, fall colour cards |
| Pink | 021 Pretty And Pink, 116, 129 Glaze | Everyday sets and French-style bases |
| Red | 001, 040, 114 Italia | Valentine and holiday bookings |
| Yellow | 039, 059, 198 | Summer accents and nail art |
| Grey and black | 053, 083, 173 | Minimal looks, line work, contrast art |
A second group of shades has no colour tag yet, among them 080 Zen Diamonds, 158 Sea Glass, 210 Cashmere Sky and 215 Ramen & Chill. Judge those from the product photo or a swatch, not from the name.
Which season each shade is tagged for
DTK tags V Beauty Pure gel shades by season so you can build a colour card fast: 24 shades carry a summer tag, 23 a winter tag, 19 a fall tag and 12 a valentine and spring tag. Many carry more than one. The shades tagged for both fall and winter, such as 021 Pretty And Pink, 025, 053, 083, 113 Badies, 131 Ethereal, 132 Oxic Avg, 173 and 206 Gilded Couture, stay on the menu from September through the holidays, which keeps your reorder list short.
Each season also has its own page: fall gel shades, winter gel shades and summer gel shades.
How to choose shades for your station
- Building a fall and winter card: start with the shades tagged for both seasons, then add two or three browns and a purple from the table.
- Matching a returning client: order by number. The number is the reliable reference, because several shades have no name.
- Setting up a home kit: pair the base, the no-wipe top and the matte top with three or four colours you will wear often, then add more one bottle at a time.
- Nail art and ombre: keep a light, a mid and a dark shade from the same family, since the texture blends well on a palette.
- Summer brights: the orange, coral and yellow tags cover most of the warm shades.
Gel colour, base, top and matte top compared
V Beauty Pure designs its gel colour to be worn between its own base and top. DTK carries the three finishing products in V Beauty Pure base and top.
| Product | Job in the set | Cure | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Coat | Adhesive layer between the nail and the colour | LED 30 to 60 s, UV 90 to 120 s | Helps prevent lifting and staining; also used under the brand's acrylic system |
| Gel colour | Colour in one or two thin coats | LED 30 to 60 s, UV 90 to 120 s per layer | Cap the free edge on each coat |
| Non Wipe Gel Top Coat | Gloss and protection | LED 30 to 60 s | Cures without a sticky layer, so no alcohol wipe |
| Non Wipe Matte Top Coat | Velvet matte finish | LED 30 to 60 s | Works over gel colour, acrylic or art; apply thin and cure fully |
The base and top also work with most professional gel systems, but the brand recommends keeping all three layers in the V Beauty Pure family for the best wear.
Applying V Beauty Pure gel polish
- Prep: push back the cuticles, shape, lightly buff the surface, then cleanse and dehydrate the nail.
- Base: one thin coat of V Beauty Pure Base Gel, cured for 30 to 60 seconds under LED or 90 to 120 seconds under UV.
- Colour: one thin coat, capping the free edge, then cure. Add a second thin coat only if the shade needs it for full opacity.
- Top: seal with the no-wipe top or the matte top and cure.
- Finish: a drop of cuticle oil to hydrate the skin around the nail.
Thin coats are the habit that matters most. They cure through evenly and keep the self-levelling formula smooth instead of pooling at the sidewalls. Our guide to gel without streaks or bubbles walks through brush loading if a shade drags.
Mixing shades and nail art
The creamy, self-levelling texture is made for blending. Mix two shades on a palette to create a custom colour, build an ombre from a light and a dark shade of the same family, or use a dark shade such as 173 for fine line work. A matte top over one accent nail is an easy way to add contrast without buying a new colour. For ideas, see our ombre nail design ideas.
Wear, removal and storage
- Wear: with correct prep and the matching base and top, V Beauty Pure gel lasts two to three weeks without chipping or dulling.
- Removal: file the surface to break the top coat seal, soak in acetone or wrap in foil for 10 to 15 minutes, lift the softened gel with a pusher, then apply cuticle oil. Never force cured gel off the nail.
- Storage: keep bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and tighten the cap after use so the gel does not thicken.
- Handling: avoid skin contact with uncured gel and cure each layer fully under a compatible lamp.
