Semi-translucent jelly gels have taken the nail industry by storm, and the Sticky Rice Semi-Sheer Gel 48 Colors collection offers the most versatile range for salons looking to create everything from barely-there nudes to buildable pops of color. Here is everything you need to know about this essential product.

What Is Sticky Rice Semi-Sheer Gel?

The Sticky Rice Semi-Sheer Gel is a professional-grade jelly nail gel with a unique semi-translucent finish. Unlike opaque solid gels, this formula creates a soft, diffused look that mimics the natural translucency of healthy nails. With 48 carefully curated colors, it serves as both a universal base and a standalone color — making it one of the most versatile products in our functional gel lineup.

Key Features & Benefits

Semi-Translucent Buildable Formula

The semi-sheer formula allows for customizable opacity. Apply one coat for a subtle, "your nails but better" effect, or layer multiple coats for a more vibrant yet still translucent finish. This buildable nature makes it ideal for both conservative office looks and creative artistic designs.

"The Sticky Rice Semi-Sheer Gel is our best-selling universal base. It works beautifully as both a standalone color and a foundation for nail art — the adhesion is outstanding and the self-leveling is flawless."

— GELNAILMART Product Team

Universal Base Functionality

Unlike traditional base coats that are completely clear, this semi-sheer formula adds a subtle wash of color while performing all the functions of a premium base gel. It evens out nail discoloration, provides exceptional adhesion for subsequent layers, and creates a smooth canvas for nail art. Each color in the 48-piece collection can be mixed and layered for countless custom combinations.

48 Colors: A Color for Every Season

The 48-color range is designed to cover every season and trend:

Spring/Summer: Soft pinks, peachy nudes, milky whites, and sheer lavenders that complement warm-weather looks.
Autumn/Winter: Warm caramel tones, dusty rose, mauve, and delicate taupes that transition seamlessly into cooler months.
Versatile Essentials: Neutral beiges, barely-there pales, and universal nudes that work year-round as the perfect canvas for any nail art.

Why Salons Choose Sticky Rice Semi-Sheer Gel

Professional nail salons across the globe are adding this collection to their essential inventory for several compelling reasons:

Self-Leveling Perfection: The viscosity is carefully calibrated to self-level smoothly without flooding cuticles, reducing application time and improving results.
HEMA-Free Formula: Formulated without HEMA, TPO, and TMPTA, making it suitable for clients with sensitive nail beds while maintaining exceptional durability.
Bulk Packaging Available: Available in 3KG bulk packaging at factory-direct prices, with minimum order flexibility for growing businesses.

How to Use Sticky Rice Semi-Sheer Gel

Step 1: Prep the nail surface — gently buff, clean with lint-free wipe, and apply dehydrator.
Step 2: Apply a thin layer of Sticky Rice Semi-Sheer Gel as a base. Cure under LED lamp for 60 seconds (or UV for 120 seconds).
Step 3: Apply a second layer for desired opacity. Each layer builds the color while maintaining the signature semi-translucent effect.
Step 4: Finish with top coat for a glossy, long-lasting result that clients will love.
