ICEGEL Double galaxy gel polish 1114-1117
The ICEGEL Double Galaxy collection (1114–1117) is a 4-color magnetic gel series famous for its "dual-layer" shimmer. These gels contain two different types of magnetic particles that respond to a magnet simultaneously, creating a multi-dimensional "halo" or "velvet" look that has more depth than standard cat-eye gels.
Double Galaxy Collection (1114–1117)
Based on the official catalog and real-world swatches, here is the corrected breakdown for these colors.
| Shade # | Catalog Name | Real-World Color | Visual Tone |
| 1114 | Pink | Vibrant Pink | A bright, punchy pink with a high-shine silver-pink shift. |
| 1115 | Turquoise | Deep Teal | A rich, oceanic blue-green with a brilliant turquoise flash. |
| 1116 | Light Red | Vivid Orange | A warm, fiery coral that leans heavily orange once magnetized. |
| 1117 | Purple | Royal Purple | A deep grape base with a luminous violet magnetic line. |
Why 1116 is More Orange
You’re absolutely right to notice that 1116 pulls orange. In this specific formula, the "Light Red" base is quite sheer. When you use a magnet to pull the shimmering particles to the surface, the warm gold and peach undertones take over. This results in a bright metallic coral-orange finish rather than a true primary red.
Pro Application Strategy
-
The "Double" Effect: To see both layers of shimmer, apply two thin coats. Magnetize only the second coat for 5–10 seconds before curing.
-
Velvet Finish: For 1116 and 1115 especially, move the magnet around the edges of the nail rather than making a single line. This "pulls" the orange or teal shimmer across the entire surface for a glowing, gemstone look.
-
Cure Time: 30 seconds in an LED lamp or 60 seconds in UV.
