Bluesky Gel Polish, Dark Red, A013

Bluesky autumn mini set Leaving a review as I couldn’t find one with all the colours shown in one place. These are the usual long wearing, vibrant quality you expect from Bluesky. I would say they’re true to the colour seen online, lovely autumn colours, the green is a little thin and needs three coats rather than two. Cured under UV/LED for 90 seconds each coat. I used OPI top and base coats but I find the Bluesky ones just as good. Use a primer too, makes all the difference in longevity. Highly recommend, and I use Halo and OPI besides this brand, Bluesky is a good one and up there with the best.

really nice product, good quality, i never buy anything else other than BlueSky, been using BlueSky for over 15yrs both professionally and at home. can highly recommend, colours are always true to description.

Colour is pretty but takes at least 3 coats to achieve an opaque colour.

Suits my dark brown skin perfectly

I swapped to bluesky gels from bio sculpture. I was worried they wouldn’t be as good but was really surprised with their quality. They are easy to get hold of and far more reasonably priced. And quicker to apply. For my fingernails I use base coat, lexan gel, hard gel, and top coat along with a white gel for a French manicure finish. For my toes I only use base coat, coloured gel and top coat. I have used the gels directly onto my own nails as well as with nail tips and silk repair tape. I was worried at seeing comments of people’s nails getting hot but realise it’s because they haven’t followed the instructions. Different gels cure for different lengths of time and the website clearly states that nails will get hot if going over these times. The product pages have some information as well as the how to guides under the blog section. As others have said, thin layers are best. The coloured gels are very translucent initially but the second and third layers create a solid colour so don’t panic. The no wipe top gel is thick whereas the top gel which requires wiping is thinner so I’ll be sticking with that one. I haven’t had problems with the gels lifting or cracking on my fingernails. They seem to lift more so on my toenails but that’s often after a soak in the bath. I also know my technique isn’t as good on my toenails as the gels can sometimes run over the nail edge. Definitely something to work on! The only negative for me is that the coloured gels look completely different in reality versus online. I’ve started to mix them together to get the shades I want which isn’t ideal but is better than throwing them away.

three coats cover the nail, and it is shiny and an accurate colour when cured, but it takes a stronger lamp/ more time to fully cure and overall a bit of a hassle. once cured it is sticky, so it needs a top coat, but it does last a month or so once fully cured and the size is standard.

Do two coats and its perfect! Great colour! Great value for money.

I'm a DIY gel nail girl. My applicatiom isn't perfect and I feared I was going to damage my cuticles as I had to do my nails regularly because I had chipping etc. Well not with this Bluesky gel polish. It applied nicely and needed two coats. The brush was nice and easy to control around the cuticle area and it cured well. Now, 4 weeks on the polish is still in tact and shows no sign of lifting. There is a bit of dulling to the top coat and I feel the colour has faded around my cuticle area but I have been applying oil to rescue my crispy cuticles from my own novice process and general wear and tear from washing up without gloves etc The colour is a nice dark purple/almost black depending on how many layers. I will definitely be buying Bluesky polish again.

Très belle couleur, longue tenue et belle texture, je recommande pour cette couleur mais le résultat n’est pas le même dans toute les couleurs !

Das ist mal wieder ein typisches Beispiel von Shellac, dass die Farbe nicht das geringste mit der Abbildung zu tun hat.

War sehr schnell da ! Ist aber eher orange, mir gefällt es ! Habe Naturnägel und es hält sehr gut

Tolle Farbe! 1 Punkt Abzug wegen der längeren Lieferzeit ! Die anderen Farben waren wesentlich schneller da. Aber sonst alles super!

Muy buena calidad. Sólo uso esta marca y el color es precioso
