Unboxing the Modelones Color Cube
When I first saw the Modelones Color Cube Champagne On Ice Solid Cream Gel Polish, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by its unique packaging design – it’s small and simple, yet kinda looks like an eyeshadow palette (and we know I love that lol).
Upon opening the box, I was greeted with a grey-toned, cute but small cube that instantly made me want to open it to see the colors inside.
When you order the Modelones Color Cube, you’ll get the following items to help you with a perfect at-home gel manicure experience:
- 1 Modelones Color Cube (and, in my case, Champagne On Ice Solid Cream Gel Polish)
- 1 Instruction manual
- 1 Brush
The Modelones Solid Cream Gel Polish is a small cube of 9 different shades containing 9 g./0.32 Oz Net Wt. The solid gel polish itself has a creamy, smooth consistency that’s easy to work with.
It’s worth mentioning that if you’re new to the world of gel polish, you’ll need a few additional tools and accessories to fully utilize the Modelones Solid Cream Gel Polish:
- A UV/LED nail-curing lamp (grab one here)
- Base and top coats (grab them here)
- A 100/180 nail file (grab one here)
As I already have a top and base coat from Modelones and even a travel-friendly UV lamp, I used them in combination with the Modellones Color Cube. If you’re curious, I received this Modelones Starter Kit a while ago, and I’m using the tools from that set.
If you don’t have these tools yet, no worries because Modelones sells everything you need for an at-home manicure, even acrylic powder, poly gel, or dip powder!
Evaluating Color and Consistency
Upon exploring the Modelones Color Cube Champagne On Ice Solid Cream Gel Polish, I noticed the nude tones that look amazing in the pan.
Being a fan of Modelones products, I was eager to dive into this new addition to their lineup. I’ve always appreciated Modelones Gel Polish’s high quality and long-lasting finish for an affordable price, and I was excited to review the color and consistency of their latest creation.
My first impression of the Modelones Solid Cream Gel Polish was its remarkable pigmentation. For those seeking a sophisticated and regal addition to their nail polish collection, the Modelones Color Cubes do not disappoint.
This particular Color Cube, named Champagne On Ice, offers a stunning shimmer that catches the light beautifully. The color and consistency make it perfect for special occasions, or simply when you’re looking to add a touch of elegance to your everyday look.
When it comes to consistency, the Modelones Color Cube Champagne On Ice Solid Cream Gel Polish stands out for its smooth and even application. I was impressed by how easy it was to achieve a streak-free and flawless finish. Here’s what I observed:
- Opacity: The Modelones Gel Polish offers a high level of opacity, making it easy to cover your nails with just two coats. The color payoff is excellent without needing too many layers. Just know that the shades close to white need an extra coat, but light shades almost always need an extra coat (my nail stylist does this too).
- Consistency: The Modelones Solid Cream Gel Polish has a creamy texture that glides effortlessly onto the nails, ensuring an even and uniform application. I personally feel think a solid cream polish is easier to apply compared to regular nail polish.
- Drying Time: As with other Modelones Color Cubes, the drying time is relatively quick (because of the LED light hardening it), reducing the risk of smudging and making it more convenient.
Key features of Modelones Color Cube Champagne On Ice Solid Cream Gel Polish:
- Vibrant and glamorous shade
- High opacity and excellent pigmentation
- Smooth, creamy texture
- Quick drying time
Overall, I found the Modelones Color Cube Champagne On Ice Solid Cream Gel Polish to be a luxurious and alluring addition to my nail polish collection.
The color and consistency met my expectations, maintaining the high standard I’ve come across with Modelones products.
I have acrylics that I get done at a nail salon. However, I broke two nails when my nail stylist had her vacation, so I decided to play around with acrylic myself.
After I applied the tip and acrylic, it was the perfect time to try the Modelones Color Cube – I tried to match the color to my other nails, which is quite a spot-on match. Anyway, in the pictures above, you can see the consistency for yourself (It’s not streaky, that’s the light reflection).
Formula & Variety
Modelones Color Cubes stand out among other gel polishes on the market because of their unique formula, designed to provide long-lasting wear, gorgeous high shine, and effortless removal.
Champagne On Ice has nine luxurious soft nude hues and some soft & delicate shimmer shades, perfect for any special occasion or just to brighten up an everyday look.
In addition to its lovely colors, Modelones Gel Polish is almost odorless, non-toxic, and cruelty-free + vegan. Plus, it’s made with a UV and LED curable formula, making it compatible with a variety of curing lamps.
What I love about the Color Cubes series is the variety of shades available. While I got the Color Cube Champagne On Ice, they have way more versions of the Color Cubes available – from neutral tones to pastels and bright tones; they have everything!
Sizes differ too, as you can get a nine-pan Color Cube or a 21-pan Color Cube like this Modelones Vinyl Record in Fall In Love. Even if you’re like, “I’m not a multiple shades type of gal,” – they have single solid gel polishes too!
Application and Drying Time
When first applying the Modelones Solid Cream Gel Polish, I noticed its consistency was just right. It wasn’t too thin or too thick, making it easy to apply evenly on my nails. To get the best results, it’s essential to follow these steps:
- Start with clean, dry nails.
- Apply a thin layer of Modelones base coat and cure under a LED light for 60 to 90 seconds.
- Apply a thin, even layer of the shade you’ve picked from the Modelones Color Cube, and cure under the LED light for 60 to 90 seconds.
- If desired, apply a second layer for more opacity, curing for another 60 to 90 seconds.
- Finish with a Modelones top coat and cure for a final 60 to 90 seconds.
When it came to drying time, I was quite impressed. The curing process under a LED lamp took only 60 to 90 seconds per layer, making the total drying time for Modelones Gel Polish fairly quick, especially when compared to traditional nail polishes.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the drying time:
Layer | Drying Time |
---|---|
Base Coat | ~2 minutes |
First Layer | 60 seconds |
Second Layer | 60 seconds |
Top Coat | ~2 minutes |
The drying time for the Modelones Color Cubes was a pleasant surprise, and I enjoyed not having to wait for my nails to air-dry. This efficient drying process allowed me to return to my usual activities without worrying about smudging or denting my manicure.
Its fantastic consistency makes the application stress-free, and its quick cure time is perfect for those of us who don’t have time to spare and want salon-looking nails.
Wear and Durability Test
When it comes to the Modelones Color Cube Champagne On Ice Solid Cream Gel Polish, I was eager to put it to the test and see how it fared in terms of wear and durability. Here are the results based on my own experience applying and wearing the polish:
Durability
- I monitored the durability of Modelones Solid Cream Gel Polish over a period of two weeks, checking on any signs of wear or chipping.
- The results were impressive! I had no chipping after two weeks on the nails, and the shine still looked the exact same.

I found this particular polish to be long-lasting and resistant to chipping. The beautiful color and exceptional durability make Modelones Color Cubes an attractive option for those seeking a long-lasting gel polish.
