Open your eyes to the trio of BLINK products from Light Elegance, as ELAINE WATSON serves up insight

Speedy styling: explore Light Elegance’s BLINK system for nail enhancements

Hey nail pros! Kiss time-consuming nail treatments goodbye, as Light Elegance is supercharging your services with its BLINK system. The team has created BLINK to be the perfect sidekick to the brand’s award-winning gels, allowing you to create show-stopping, long-lasting enhancements at speed.

BLINKTips: soft gel or hard gel?

First, let me introduce you to BLINKTips – our pre-shaped, ready-to-rock tips that are available in three popular shapes: almond, coffin and square. We know you love to customise, so you can shorten or reshape them to your heart’s content. BLINKTips are made from a strong and durable material, but they soak off quickly if your client seeks a change.

Here’s the real magic: BLINKTips play nicely with both soft and hard gel services. Do you have a client who seeks a nail style for a special occasion? Pair BLINKTips with the Light Elegance JimmyGel system for a look that soaks off without a fight. For clients who wish for long-lasting enhancements that can be maintained over time, you can use BLINKTips with the Lexy Line system.

BLINKForms: making sculpting seamless

Next, welcome BLINKForms: reusable dual forms that may become your sculpting BFFs. These forms are available in a versatile shape, which can handle any length or style you desire to sculpt. They are easy to apply, pop off and reuse, because who doesn’t love saving some cash – and the planet?

Apply Lexy Line gel or JimmyGel to the underside of the BLINKForm, then apply to the nail and cure. Once cured, the form practically jumps off the nail, revealing a perfectly smooth enhancement underneath that’s ready for your artistic magic. Easy peasy!

FlashDot: the little lamp that could

Meet FlashDot, Light Elegance’s pint-sized powerhouse of a lamp. The compact, cordless and budget-friendly wonder is built for speed, and its LEDs deliver a consistent cure.

FlashDot is ideal when you need a quick flash cure, but your hands are busy. Its easy-to-touch sensor at the bulbs means you can flash cure with just a bump of your finger (yes, even a gloved one), because how else are you going to hold the client’s finger and fit in a full-sized lamp while holding a BLINKTip and BLINKForm? Bonus tip: FlashDot is excellent for flash curing nail art.

The BLINK system: prepare for liftoff!

Together, BLINKTips, BLINKForms and the FlashDot make up the BLINK system. Combine with the award-winning Light Elegance gels, and you’ve got a match made in nail enhancement heaven. So, what are you waiting for? Jump on the BLINK bandwagon, and let’s redefine what’s possible in the world of nail enhancements!

Until next time, share the BLINKLove on your service menus.
