About color
Turquoise is not an independent color, but a tint color located in the color palette between green and blue. The color got its name from the turquoise stone. Translated from Persian, “turquoise” is firuze – a stone of happiness.
But not only the Persians attributed some kind of magical effect to the stone - in the countries of the East, judging by the beliefs, turquoise could cure the thyroid gland, normalize digestion and cope with depression.
Turquoise gel polish on nails, of course, cannot boast of healing properties, but it will definitely lift your spirits.
Shades:
- Tiffany. A favorite color among fashionistas, named after the jewelry piece, they chose one of the shades of turquoise as their signature color. Tiffany tends to go blue rather than green. It’s surprising that Tiffany is a shade of shade, but at the same time has its own undertones - there is light, neutral, rich and dark;
- aquamarine . Like Tiffany, it gives off more blue, but not light blue, but dark;
- classic turquoise – light turquoise;
- teal. Teal is a small bird of the duck family that has rich turquoise accents. The shade is dark and leans more towards green or blue-green.

Turquoise shades of gel polish look much more interesting with a top that imitates a print in the “quail egg” style - a trend.

In addition to glossy manicure, the trend is still a matte finish, which looks especially attractive on bright shades of gel polish.
