Couldn't load pickup availability
Black Tie Optional is a jet black gel polish, shade 49 in A'DOR's 72-color Color Me Gel-Ons line. Every bottle is HEMA free and TPO free, so it suits clients who have reacted to regular gel. Black is the kit workhorse for nail art lines, French tips with a twist and moody full sets.
What Black Tie Optional brings to your color wall
- The color: a jet black with a glossy finish once topped.
- Made for sensitive clients: HEMA and TPO are left out of the formula, so it is a safer pick for anyone who has reacted to regular gel.
- Up to 3 weeks of shine: a thin brush-on gel that cures in 60 seconds per coat under an LED lamp.
- Easy to reorder: every bottle carries its number and name, so 49 Black Tie Optional is simple to restock or match for a returning client.

How to apply
- Prep the nail: shape, remove shine with a buffer and wipe with dehydrator.
- Apply base: brush on A'DOR Super Base Coat thinly and cure for 30 seconds under LED.
- Apply 49: two thin coats, each cured for 60 seconds under LED. Keep the gel off the skin.
- Finish: A'DOR Diamond Top Coat, cured 30 seconds, for a high-gloss seal.
Heavy coats are the most common cause of wrinkling and early lifting, so build color in thin layers.
