The VALLA Éclair Collection includes shades VM41–VM48 and is designed around a soft, dessert-toned palette with a temperature-responsive colour effect—subtle shifts that appear as the nails warm and cool during wear. Expect elegant neutrals, milky pinks, muted mauves, and cool-toned greys that suit everyday salon work as well as refined bridal sets.

What you get

• 8 shades: VM41, VM42, VM43, VM44, VM45, VM46, VM47, VM48
• Effect: temperature-responsive colour change (thermo-style finish)
• Look: soft, wearable tones with a clean, polished surface
• Use cases: full colour sets, babyboomer-style palettes, tonal layering, and understated seasonal sets

Shade range (VM41–VM48)

This range moves across light milky nudes, pink-beige tones, muted rosy shades, and cool greys. The temperature effect adds depth and variation without looking harsh or overly contrasting—ideal for clients who want something “special” that still looks professional.

Professional notes

• For the cleanest finish, apply thin, even layers and avoid flooding the cuticle line.
• The colour-shift is most visible when there is a clear difference between hand temperature and the surrounding environment.
• Top coat choice influences the final look: a high-gloss top will make the shift appear clearer and more “glass-like”.

Instructions

1. Prep the natural nail (remove shine, cleanse, apply primer/bond if used in your system).
2. Apply base gel and cure according to your gel system and lamp requirements.
3. Apply VM41–VM48 in thin layers; cure each layer fully.
4. Seal with top coat and cure.
5. Finish by wiping (if using a top with inhibition layer) and apply cuticle oil.

For best results

Use a lamp that matches your gel system’s specifications and follow the brand’s curing guidance. If you are filming or photographing the colour shift, use a hard, directional light and capture gentle hand movement for the most visible transition.
