TOUCH - Gel Polish 22, 9ml - Graphite Shade Deeper than #21's true gray, graphite adds a darker, almost charcoal-like weight to the same neutral family — enough depth to read as a distinct statement rather than another shade of plain gray. Where #22 Fits Shade Character #20 Muted olive, earthy #21 True neutral gray #22 Deep graphite, near-charcoal That extra depth changes how graphite reads compared to #21. Where a true gray stays light and neutral enough to disappear into the background, graphite carries enough darkness to function almost like a softer alternative to black — moodier, but still with a hint of gray underneath rather than reading as flat black. Formula and Application Attribute Detail Color Graphite Consistency Medium-thick, self-leveling Coats 1–2, depending on desired opacity Cure time 60 seconds minimum per layer, LED 48W Volume 9ml The formula spreads evenly across the nail plate without pooling, settling into a smooth layer with little manual smoothing needed. Pigmentation builds quickly, though two coats give the most even, fully opaque result. How to Apply Complete standard nail prep — shape the nail, buff the surface, address the cuticle Apply the first coat of Gel Polish 22, spreading evenly Cure a minimum of 60 seconds under an LED 48W lamp Apply a second coat if needed, curing again the same way Seal with a top coat of your choice FAQ Is graphite closer to gray or black?It sits between the two — deeper and darker than #21's true gray, but still carrying enough gray undertone to avoid reading as flat black. Would graphite work as a substitute for a client who wants black but something softer?Yes, its near-charcoal depth gives a similar moodiness to black without being quite as stark. How many coats does #22 need for full opacity?Typically two, though the dense pigmentation builds color quickly even in a single layer. Use only for training on tips.
