What gitti’s milky treatment polishes actually look like, which ingredients distinguish them, how Nail Mylk is applied and why GelCare is a separate LED routine rather than ordinary glossy polish.
Three product formats within one nail collection
gitti separates plant-based nail colour, tinted Nail Treatments and the GelCare LED system. The formats are worth distinguishing before comparing colours: a sheer treatment, a conventional polish routine and a gel system do not require the same equipment or deliver the same visual effect.
The word treatment here describes a cosmetic product category. The useful questions are what colour remains on the nail, how opaque it is and which application method belongs to that exact bottle. A care-oriented name should not replace those practical details.
Nail Mylk: a soft milky-white veil
Nail Mylk is a 15 ml treatment polish presented as strengthening and smoothing, with a softly covering milky-white colour and a glossy finish. The brand highlights calcium, oat-derived ingredients and kaolin. Its ingredient list includes calcium pantothenate, oat kernel oil and kaolin, alongside the solvents and film-forming components of a nail coating.
This is not an oil that disappears into the nail. It leaves a visible coloured film, so choose it for a soft white manicure rather than assuming that a care product must be colourless. gitti describes buildable coverage, which makes the number and thinness of coats relevant to the final look.
How the brand tells you to apply Nail Mylk
The product directions specify one coat on clean nails, followed by drying. For a more intense and covering result, apply a second thin coat. Its FAQ says a separate base coat is not necessary and presents High Gloss Top Coat as an optional finishing step for extra shine and wear.
These directions are specific to this treatment. They should not be transferred to the GelCare range or to every product on the site. For a translucent result, first inspect the dried first coat rather than automatically building a dense white manicure that differs from the look you wanted.
Nail Smoothie: pink instead of white
Nail Smoothie is also listed in a 15 ml format, but its visual identity is a sheer soft-pink Strawberry Glaze tint. The brand positions it as a protective treatment and highlights strawberry seed oil, avocado oil and what it calls vegan collagen. The ingredient list names strawberry seed oil, avocado oil and hydrolysed vegetable protein.
Mylk and Smoothie therefore differ in both colour direction and the ingredients emphasised. Pick Smoothie if a rosy glazed effect is the goal, rather than selecting it merely because its name sounds more nourishing. Its directions likewise describe a first coat on clean nails and an optional second thin coat for greater intensity.
Nail Cream and Frappé: warm or cool milky tones
Nail Cream is presented for dry-looking nails with a warm milky-cream or milky-nude finish. Its formula highlights sweet almond oil, a ceramide complex and a plant-based protein complex; the published ingredient list includes sweet almond oil and Ceramide NP. Despite the name, it is a tinted treatment polish rather than a jar of hand cream.
Nail Frappé takes the cooler direction with a milky-rosé finish and soothing cosmetic positioning. This gives a concrete starting point for comparison: Cream for a warmer creamy nude, Frappé for a cooler rosy veil, Mylk for soft white and Smoothie for a sheer pink glaze.
Ordinary colour: no. 114 and Infinite Gloss
The plant-based colour collection includes gitti no. 114, described as shiny, semi-transparent pale pink. Its directions describe one or two thin coats, allowing each to dry. The Infinite Gloss routine combines a smoothing base, a chosen colour and High Gloss Top Coat without a UV lamp.
A gel-like glossy appearance is not the same as LED gel. Someone choosing no. 114 for a subtle pink should compare its transparency with the treatment colours, rather than assuming every pale product has the same coverage. Keep both the product number and range name when looking at photographs.
GelCare: examine the equipment and kit contents
GelCare is the separate LED system. The Essentials Set lists Primer, Top Coat, Prep & Finish Cleanser, Gel Remover and selected colour options; its defining difference is that it excludes the LED lamp and tools. The Starter Set is the option presented with a lamp and tools.
Essentials is therefore not a complete first setup for someone who has no suitable lamp. Check compatibility and follow the system-specific application and removal instructions. Brand wear and strengthening claims should be read with their stated test conditions, not as guaranteed results for everyone. Choose the format first, then the finish, and only then the relevant kit.
