How to read the match: Exact = same level and same reflect · Close = same level, same reflect family · Approximate = same level in natural, or adjacent level with the same reflect. Hover each badge for that row's reason.

Of the 69 Color Gels Lacquers shades, 57 exact, 2 close and 10 approximate in this chart with Topchic. For example, Color Gels Lacquers's 8AB maps to Topchic's 8A. Natural reflects cross over best; matte ones need more adjustment.

Color Gels Lacquers writes the reflect with a letter family after the level: a single letter for the pure naturals (8N = Mojave, 6N = Moroccan Sand) and two letters for the rest (NN natural natural, NW natural warm, NA natural ash, GN green, AB ash blue, GB gold beige, NG gold, RO red orange); Topchic uses a letter after the level (7N = medium natural blonde). Both brands write the reflect in a similar way, so reading the code across is straightforward.

Questions about Color Gels Lacquers and Topchic

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 69 Color Gels Lacquers shades, 57 have an exact equivalent in Topchic, 2 close and 10 approximate. The level (1-10) is universal; what varies is the reflect.

No. Equivalences are approximate because each brand uses different pigments, bases, and concentrations. The level (1-10) is universal, but the reflect result may vary. We always recommend doing a strand test when switching brands.

Yes. Inside Blendsor you'll find it in Learn → Brand converter and in the chat attach button (+). There the equivalent comes with its confidence level and a warning if the product type changes, and you can send it to the advisor to fine-tune it for your client's base, grays and porosity. Download the app.

It's not recommended. Each brand formulates its products with specific chemistry (pH, alkalizing agent, pigment system). Mixing brands can create unpredictable reactions and unwanted results. Always use color and developer from the same brand.
