Let’s get one thing straight: OILWHIP is not just another art gel.

Where traditional art gels prioritize smooth, even application and self-leveling properties, OILWHIP flips the script.

It’s whipped, sculptural, and purposely designed to keep texture intact.

Once you’ve experienced it, you won’t go back. Sorry not sorry!

Why We Made a New Kind of Gel

 

Over a year ago, we started seeing a shift.

In corners of the internet, especially among artists in Japan and Korea, sculptural nail art was having a moment. Messy gradients. Piped peaks. Painterly textures that looked like they belonged in a gallery, not a salon.

But there wasn’t a formula that fully supported this style. Not really.

The gels on the market were too shiny, too flat, too temporary. They smoothed over the very detail artists were trying to build. And worse? The few good ones were hard to find, vanished after one drop, or demanded a topcoat that erased half the magic.

We needed something new. Not a trend-chaser, but a tool for creative evolution. So we made it.

OILWHIP Gel is a sculptural, pigment-drenched art gel with a whipped, buttery consistency that’s built for expression. Whether you’re layering strokes like oil paint, piping frosted 3D details, or mixing custom hues on a palette, OILWHIP holds its shape with a satisfying, mousse-like control.

This formula cures to a soft satin matte, no topcoat required. Non-wipe, HEMA-free, and TPO-free, it’s designed for maximum pigment payoff with a medium viscosity that keeps texture intact, without self-leveling away your detail work.

 

We wanted something that could move like paint, build like frosting, and hold like sculpture. So we made it.

 

OILWHIP was born from months of in-house testing, pigment trials, and real-world play. The team behind it? Artists. Formulators. Nail obsessives who were sick of compromising texture for control, or blendability for payoff.

This wasn’t whipped up overnight.

We obsessed over every finish, every brush drag, every curve. Because if it couldn’t deliver on pigment and technique? It wasn’t worthy of your nail art.

 

Feel the Whip: What Makes OILWHIP Different

 

The first thing you’ll notice? The texture. OILWHIP has a light, mousse-like consistency that picks up effortlessly and pulls across the nail like a dream. OILWHIP is creamy, plush, and stable, more balm than gel.

There’s no goop. No stringing. No gluey weirdness.

Just glide, grip, and control.

It's sculptural enough to hold peaks and ridges, but soft enough to blend without effort. Whether you're dry brushing, detail painting, or layering abstract blooms, OILWHIP gives you the kind of precision most art gels can’t.

 

You can use it to:

• Build 3D abstract texture
• Press florals that hold their shape
• Create a frosting-like sculpt
• Paint smooth gradients with a soft blend

 

It’s artist-friendly without being fussy. Whether you’re a maximalist or minimalist, this texture meets you where you are.

 

The Finish?

Cures in 60 seconds. Satin matte. No tacky layer.
That no-wipe finish means what you paint is what you keep. No dulling, no stick, no surprise smears.

Want to top it for gloss? You can. But you don’t have to.

Pigment, But Make It Playable

 

Here’s the kicker: a lot of textured gels crumble under color. Either they’re too stiff to blend, or too sheer to show up.

OILWHIP does both.

It’s crazyyy pigmented, but still blendable. You can sheer it out for watercolor effects, layer it for high-impact payoff, or mix it for custom shades that actually make sense.

 

That means:

• Insane color payoff from the first swipe
• Blendable softness for painterly finishes
• Sheer it out or layer it up depending on your look
• Perfect for dry brushing, gradients, and abstract moments

 

It’s the closest thing to oil painting in gel form, but with way less stress.

 

Application Without Stress

 

We know the struggle… fast-curing gels that trap you in perfectionist panic. One wrong move, and you’re flash-curing your regrets.

OILWHIP gives you time. It’s not runny, holds its shape, but still shifts when you need it to. It gives you breathing room, to change direction, layer up, or just think.

You can work it for longer without flash-curing. And because it doesn’t pool or flood, the only thing that drops is your jaw.

 

Basically,

• More working time than fast-curing gels
• Doesn’t flood or run, but levels where it counts
• Mistakes? Easy to smooth or remix mid-process

 

Fewer flash cures = a smoother art flow. Your pace, your process.

The Artist’s Gel, Made the F(VEX) Way

 

This gel didn’t come from a stock formula. It came from obsessive testing.

We swatched over ten viscosities. Refined five. Then tested them on every possible surface. Our artists used brushes, knives, and fingers. We tried it glossy, matte, with topcoat and without. We wanted it to work with you, not against you.

We even sourced a base that was HEMA-free and TPO-free… not easy to find, but non-negotiable.

This wasn’t just an experiment. It was a mission. We made this for the artists who want more than shine and stickers. For the ones who build, sculpt, and express.

This gel didn’t come from a lab brief. It came from a problem we couldn’t solve until we made it ourselves.

OILWHIP is what we always wished art gel could be.
