Dive into the depths of a magnetic, sophisticated blue with Gems 88 Blue, an intense shade that echoes the mysterious hues of the midnight ocean.
What is Gems 88 Blue
Gems 88 Blue is a semi-permanent toning mask from the CODE ZERO Gems Collection. Its ammonia-free, ready-to-use formula deposits direct pigments for a deep, velvet-like blue with a bold, luminous reflection, nourishing and protecting the hair as it colours. No oxidiser is required and the colour fades gradually.
Who it is for
Ideal for anyone who wants a striking, modern look with a deep, rich blue. On dark bases it gives a deep, shimmering reflection; on light or pre-lightened hair it produces a brighter electric blue. Suitable for professional use in the salon and for confident at-home application.

Results
A deep, velvet-like blue with a bold, luminous reflection: a deep shimmer on dark bases and a brighter electric blue on light or pre-lightened hair.
How to use
- Start with the right base: on natural, dark hair the colour gives a deep, shimmering reflection, while on light or pre-lightened hair it produces a brighter electric blue.
- After washing and towel-drying to remove excess water, apply the mask evenly to lengths and ends, distributing with a comb for a homogeneous result.
- For a soft reflection, leave on 5-10 minutes; for a bold, deep blue, extend to 15-20 minutes.
- Add a small amount of water and gently massage to emulsify, ensuring even removal.
- Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Shampoo immediately after is not necessary, to preserve maximum colour vibrancy.
