How to navigate Adore Professional
Adore names follow a system: almost every product page is “line + number + shade name + size”. Read the name in that order and the catalogue stops being confusing. The range is divided into ten subsections, and the right approach is almost always to choose the line first, then the colour.
Clear bases: the difference is the line, not the shade
They are all clear, so you choose by purpose rather than colour. PRO Base Classic is the everyday base, Rubber base is rubber-based, Multi slim base forms a thin foundation, PRO Base-Bond is a thin base for gel systems, Fiber base contains fibres, and Low acid base is low-acid. Base “Funky Tips Glue” is not a base in the usual sense at all, but adhesive for gel tips. Sizes vary by line: Rubber base and Multi slim base go up to 60 ml, PRO Base Classic and PRO Base-Bond up to 30, while Low acid and Fiber base are only available in 8 ml. The whole section consists of eighteen product pages, most of which show the same product in different sizes.
Coloured bases: four lines, four numbering systems
French Base is the largest camouflage line, from №01 Powder to №25 Dove. Tint Base №01–№08 are translucent: they add colour without hiding the nail plate. Loli Poly Base consists of opaque poly bases in 15 ml, with gaps in the numbering (№05 and №09 are not on sale). Aura Base №01–№09 are shimmer bases in 8 ml, with the shade described in words directly in the name. There are also Color Base №06 White and №07 Black, the two opaque extremes. A number on its own means nothing: №03 in French Base is Nude, while №03 in Tint Base is Bourbon.
Top coats: UV filters first, then the effect
The manufacturer puts the filters directly in the name: “with UV-filters” or “no UV-filters”. PRO Classic Top coat exists in both versions, each in three sizes—six almost identical product pages. No Wipe is only available without filters, while the extra-strong Stop Scratch is only available with them (8, 15, 30 and 60 ml). Then comes the decorative part of the top coat section: Miracle with shimmer, glitter and yuki flakes; reflective Flashlight №01–№03; stained-glass Funky Color №01–№07 and black Black; Dot’s with black particles in glossy and matte finishes; and matte “Soft skin”. Two easily missed details: Miracle has gaps in its numbering (№01 is followed directly by №04), and Concealer №04 and №05 are both labelled Ombre, although they are different shades, beige and baked milk.
Sculpting: grams and millilitres are not the same
Among the gels , Builder Gel Clear comes in 15 and 30 g jars, Cover Gel is a range of translucent camouflage shades №01–№10 in 30 g, and One Drop Gel is 30 g (Clear and №01–№13). Bottle Gel, a strengthening gel in a brush bottle, is measured in millilitres: 15 ml, №01–№08. Acrylic gel comes in 30 ml tubes. “30” on two neighbouring pages therefore means different things; check the unit.
Gel polishes: numbered shades, cat eye and French
The main Gel Polish line has a number and shade name—#120 Wanut, #154 Royal—in 8 and 12 ml, but not every number exists in both sizes. Cat’s Eye is split into series by the letter in its number: #A is a “glass” chameleon cat eye, #C is reflective, followed by #E, #M, #Mm, #ST and #U. The letter matters more than the number here: #M-01 and #Mm-01 are different gel polishes. Every cat-eye effect needs a magnet, found in auxiliary supplies. French Gel Polish, Pastel, Neon Max, Marble Glass and Wild Pearls are separate lines.
Before ordering
Check the line, number, shade name and size unit—these are what distinguish neighbouring product pages. Prep products and primers are in special liquids. Compare Adore with other brands in the general sections: clear bases, camouflage and coloured bases, primers and ultrabonds.
