“Parallelo is a modular magnetic palette for nail pigments, 16 triangle pans, a secure magnet base, and a flat-lay lid so artists can blend, swap, and organize fast. It turns loose jars into a clean, customizable system that speeds aura, ombré, and chrome work.”

The Tease just dropped their “Top of the Crop” list, a yearly lineup spotlighting standout pro beauty products that actually change how we work.

And guess what, Vexies!? We’re on it!

Parallelo landed in the Prosumer Beauty Launches category, joining a standout lineup of cult-favorite formulas, editor picks, and kit upgrades across hair, skin, makeup, and nails.

If you’ve ever knocked over an open pigment jar mid-set, dug through drawers for the one chrome pan you swore was right there, or lost 15 minutes reorganizing your aura colors (again), then you already know why this matters.

Parallelo is our answer to pigment chaos, and this nomination means more artists are about to discover how it changes the game!

What “Top of the Crop” Means

The Tease’s Top of the Crop list highlights the pro-level tools that made waves this past year, but not because of hype, because of impact.

The 2025 roundup includes game-changers across skin, hair, and nails, all selected for their real-world use and craft-first design.

Parallelo appears under Prosumer Beauty Launches, a category spotlighting products that bridge the gap between pro standards and studio accessibility. These are the tools built to perform under pressure, whether that’s backstage, on set, or mid-aura fade with a five-client day.

Being featured here tells us what we hoped was true: that what we made is working for you. That studio speed, pigment clarity, and clean workspace design shouldn't be considered a luxury, they should be the standard.

Parallelo, the System (Not Just a Palette)

Think less “palette,” think more… pigment command center. Parallelo is a system for working smarter. Every detail was built to serve working nail artists: from the clean flat-lay lid to the 16 triangle pans that lock into place with magnets.

But Parallelo isn’t trying to reinvent the makeup palette. It’s solving a specific problem in nails: how to manage loose pigments, keep your kit organized, and blend fast without spills or wasted product.

The triangle format lets you create muscle-memory layouts. The base is magnetized so your pans don’t slide around. And the pan edges are slightly offset for easy lifting (yup, even with your longest nails). It comes with a removal tool, so you can rearrange or clean as needed without digging with tweezers.

We like to think of it as the start of a pigment lab. One where your products are easy to access, refill, and remix. A little obsessive? Maybeee. But if you know our artists, you know we don’t mess around when it comes to tools.

Built for Speed, Safety, and Clean Workflow

Parallelo was designed with one job: make pigment work cleaner, faster, and less chaotic.

The lid opens flat, so you can blend straight on the surface without tipping jars or crowding your station. The magnetic base keeps every triangle pan in place. No sliding, no spills, no second-guessing where your go-to shade lives.

Each pan has a tab that’s offset just enough to lift easily, even with long nails. No more prying or pinching. The included removal tool pops out each pan cleanly, letting you switch things up without digging or denting your product.

It’s compact, wipeable, and studio-safe, ready for daily use, travel kits, and content days when speed matters. Whether you’re doing five aura sets in a row or bouncing between chrome shades, it keeps your flow uninterrupted.

Your Kit, Your Logic

Parallelo isn’t preloaded with a color theory that you just have to put up with. You build it your way, from whatever method to madness exists within your head.

Start with an empty palette or grab a launch set like Cove, Garage, Splash, or Cyber. Chromes now live in triangle pans too, so your finishes can sit side-by-side. Refills are available for every pigment, and artists can rearrange, replace, or expand layouts without tossing the whole thing out.

It’s organized, it’s modular, refillable, and rooted in the way real artists work.

How Pros Use It

Parallelo was designed for real-life workflows, not just pretty flatlays. Here's how artists are putting it to work:

TRAVELLING TECHS

No more clattering jars or taped lids. You can pre-load your most-used pigments into a single, secure palette that packs flat and stays closed. Pop in what you need, shut it flat, and go.

HIGH VOLUME AURA DAYS

With triangle pans laid out by blend order, muscle memory kicks in, meaning faster fades, and less cleanup.

EDITORIALS AND SHOOTS

Build a one-off layout to match a concept. Pull pigments fast, test swatches right in the pan, pack it all up in minutes. Parallelo gives you that custom logic without weighing you down.

Forever Grateful

To The Tease editors and judges who saw what we were building and said, “yeah, that’s going to make a difference,” thank you for giving a disruptive pigment system a seat at a very grown table.

To the artists who cracked it open, rearranged it, filled it, refilled it, and made it part of your daily chaos, this moment belongs to you, too. You’re the reason Parallelo exists, and the reason our product line keeps evolving.

This nod isn’t a finish line. It’s a green light.

We’re just getting warmed up.

FAQ: All About Parallelo

What fits in the Parallelo Palette?

Each Parallelo holds 16 triangle pans. You can fill it with any Aura Melt pigments or Pressed Chromes, refillable in multiple gram weights.

Why use a palette instead of loose jars?

Palettes keep your setup faster and cleaner. You get a repeatable layout, less mess, and smoother blends, meaning no tipping jars or digging for colors mid-set.

Does it open flat? Is it long-nail friendly?

Yes to both. The lid opens 180° so you can blend directly on the surface. Each triangle pan has a small offset tab that makes it easy to lift. No prying, even with long nails.

Are the pans refillable and magnetized?

Yes. Every pan is made from iron, so it locks into the magnetic base. When you're ready to clean, remix, or refill, just pop them out with the included removal tool.
