Soft. Shimmery. Spellbinding. If you’ve been dreaming of nails that feel like moonlight captured in a bottle, meet your new obsession: pearlescent nails. This ethereal trend is floating straight out of fantasy novels and onto every dreamer’s hands, and now you can bring the look to life with the Astral Gel Pearlescent Finish.

Whether you're channeling your inner faerie queen or just looking to glow with a soft, otherworldly shimmer, our Ethereal Pearlescent Gels are it.

 

What Makes Our Pearlescent Finish So Special?

Forget flat, chalky pastels. The Astral Gel Pearlescent Finish features high-quality mica and iridescent pigments in a rich, neutral-toned base. These aren’t your average shimmer gels, they’re designed to shift with the light, creating a subtle, multi-dimensional glow that’s as mesmerizing as a full moon in eclipse.

  • Ultra-smooth texture (thanks to Brush-X™ technology)

  • Thicker, self-leveling formula for a polished, glass-like finish

  • Durable + chip-resistant—ideal for everyday enchantment or special occasions

Stained Glass Pearl Frenchies

@disseynails takes pearlescent to new heights with a trending stained glass effect—and we can’t stop staring. She used the full collection (yes, ten shades!) including: Celestial, Midheaven, Bliss, Intentional, Shadow, Retrograde, Intuition, Cardinal, Balance, and Smudge to build layers of delicate color with a dreamy, light-catching payoff. This look is perfect for fans of elegant maximalism.

Celestial Pearl Butterfly Nails

@disseynails goes full fae-energy with a whimsical butterfly design using: Retrograde, Midheaven, Intentional, Breathless, and Dear Diary. The subtle shifts in each shade make the wings look alive, like they might flutter right off her fingertips.

Ready to live out your fantasy? You’re one pearly mani away.

 

How to Apply Pearlescent Gel for That Soft-Glow Finish

  1. Shake the bottle well to blend the rich mica particles.

  2. Apply a thin, even layer using light pressure (thanks to the thicker formula).

  3. Allow the self-leveling formula to work its magic—Brush-X™ helps minimize streaking.

  4. Cure for 30 seconds under LED light.

  5. Repeat with a second layer if desired, then finish with Aprés Non-Wipe Top Gelcoat.

PRO TIP: Layer multiple pearlescent shades for a custom “stained glass” or “aura nails” effect.
