SAGA Professional Stamping Paint No. 04 (Purple/Lilac)

In the SAGA color catalog, No. 04 is a beautiful, bright Lilac or Lavender. It belongs to the core enamel series, providing a creamy, opaque finish that is neither too dark nor too pale. It’s a versatile "middle-ground" purple that works across all seasons.

Key Product Features

• Vibrant Lilac Enamel: A solid, non-shimmer purple. It has enough saturation to look "punchy" on the nail without being neon.

• High-Definition Opacity: Specifically engineered to stand out. Even though it is a lighter purple, it is pigmented enough to show up clearly over a dark navy, forest green, or black base.

• Air-Dry Formula: This is a lacquer-based paint. It dries naturally in 15–20 seconds and does not require a UV/LED lamp.

• Sticky Layer (Foil-Ready): Like most SAGA paints, it maintains a slight tackiness for a few seconds after transfer, allowing you to press nail foils onto the design for a mixed-texture look.

• Smooth Transfer: The consistency is balanced to pick up fine lines and dots from a plate without "patchiness."

Professional Tips for No. 04

• Complementary Pairings: This lilac looks stunning stamped over a soft mint green, a pale yellow, or a deep plum base.

• The 3-Second Rule: To ensure a perfect pick-up, try to roll your stamper over the design within 3 seconds of scraping. Lilac pigments are dense and can dry in the grooves quickly if you wait too long.

• Clean-up: Use 100% pure acetone to clean your plate. If the lilac pigment leaves a slight haze, wipe it one more time with a fresh, saturated lint-free wipe.

• Top Coat Protection: To prevent the purple from smearing, "float" your top coat. Apply a large drop to the nail and glide it over the surface so the brush bristles never touch the stamped design.
