Cloud Mousse - what's worth knowing about the new Excellent PRO gel line

Cloud Mousse is a new addition to the Excellent PRO portfolio - a gel with a consistency that resembles a light, fluffy mousse. Easy to apply, sets itself, hard after the lamp. For many nail technicians, it has already become the go-to builder.

What is Cloud Mousse

It’s a builder gel that combines the consistency of a jelly with a thick self-leveling gel. Sounds contradictory, but in practice you get a product that simply doesn’t compare to a classic builder.

In the jar it looks like a fluffy mousse. You load it onto the brush - it doesn’t drip, doesn’t slip, doesn’t make bubbles. Once placed on the nail, it evens itself out - you don’t have to push it sideways with the brush, and you don’t have to worry about brush marks.

Available in 15 g and 50 g jars.

How to use it

Cloud Mousse behaves predictably and forgives small mistakes. It’s one of those gels you genuinely recommend to beginners - without the risk that the client leaves disappointed after the first visit.

On the other hand - experienced technicians also benefit. The longer working time means you can apply gel onto four nails at once and cure them together in the lamp. Shorter sessions, more clients per day.

And one more thing: after curing you barely need to file. The surface comes out smooth enough that a light evening at the end is usually all it takes.

Hardness after curing

The light mousse in the jar transforms in the lamp into a very hard builder gel. That’s why Cloud Mousse covers situations where you would previously have to reach for a dedicated hard gel:

• extensions on tips or forms
• strong, long shapes
• reinforcement after long regrowth
• fills for clients with physical jobs

A single product line covers both short naturals and long, strong forms.

Classic colors

Classic Cloud Mousse is a palette of nude and pastel shades: from milky, sheer pinks, through warm beiges, to darker hazelnut and cappuccino tones. Perfect for french, baby boomer and everyday natural manicure.

The most popular shades from the classic palette:

• Beige Hazelnut - warm, nutty beige
• Marshmallows - delicate, white-pink milky tone
• Milk Harmony - milky pink, a classic for french
• Soft Powder - powder pink with a cool undertone
• Ice Latte - cool, milky-grey beige

Cloud Mousse with effect

The second variant of the line are gels with embedded extras: glitter, holographic particles, micro-flakes and hexagonal foil pieces. What’s important - these elements do not sink to the bottom of the jar. You don’t need to mix the gel before each application; the extras stay evenly distributed throughout the mass.

A few standout items:

• Andromeda - galactic shades, holographic particles
• Cosmic Confetti - colorful, contrasting glitter
• Frozen Flash - cool, icy reflections
• Sugar Kiss - delicate pastel micro-flakes
• Rainbow Miracle - rainbow hexagons
• Holo Fever - intense holographic effect

Cloud Mousse with flowers

The most surprising part of the line. Inside each jar there are real dried flowers, embedded in the gel at varying depths.

What does it mean for the technician in practice?

• Flowers don’t need mixing - the gel structure holds them evenly, they don’t fall to the bottom like in many competing products
• Every nail looks different - the flowers arrange themselves randomly, you can’t reproduce the same effect twice
• The client asks “are they real?” - yes, they are

The collection includes Rose Flower, Yellow Flower, Green Flower, Lavender Flower, Pink Flower and others - 12 variants in total with different floral compositions.

Who is Cloud Mousse for?

In short: for every technician who values working comfort and doesn’t want to fight a thick gel or spend ages filing after each client. Works well in salons and at-home practice alike.
