Velvet nails: burgundy, gold, emerald

Velvet nails use a magnetic gel that spreads a fine, soft shimmer across the nail, so it looks like the pile of velvet fabric. The nine pictures show burgundy almond nails, champagne gold short square nails and emerald long coffin nails. Each shade is shown at a candlelit dinner, on folds of matching velvet and in soft daylight. Type a different shade or a twist, such as black velvet, navy blue or short nails, and the same settings carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the velvet finish?

A magnetic gel finish that spreads a fine, diffuse shimmer over the whole nail, so it reads as soft fabric rather than gloss.

Which shade is which?

The burgundy is shown on almond nails, the gold is a champagne velvet on short square nails, and the emerald is a green velvet on long coffin nails.

Do the three settings change the colour?

The settings change the light and the background around the nails.

Can I ask for a different shade?

Yes. Type the shade as a request, such as black velvet. The picture is not promised to match it exactly.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
