Heads up: Color Gels Lacquers is a permanent color and Igora Vibrance is demi. Coverage, longevity and the final result will differ: adjust the service, not just the shade.
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 44 Color Gels Lacquers shades, 35 exact and 8 approximate in this chart with Igora Vibrance. For example, Color Gels Lacquers's 6NN maps to Igora Vibrance's 6-0.

Color Gels Lacquers writes the reflect with a double-letter family after the level (5NW = natural warm, NN = natural natural, NA = natural ash); Igora Vibrance uses a dash (7-1 = medium ash blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.
