Full details

Its key benefit is providing a chip-free, peel-free, and scratch-resistant coating for at least 14 days.

FAQs
How long does Bluesky Gel Polish typically last?
When applied correctly with a base and top coat and cured properly, Bluesky Gel Polish is designed to last for at least 14 days without chipping, peeling, or scratching.
Do I need a special lamp to cure Bluesky Gel Polish?
Yes, Bluesky Gel Polish requires curing under a UV or LED lamp. It will not air dry like traditional nail polish.
Can I use a different brand's base or top coat with Bluesky Gel Polish?
While it may work, Bluesky products are formulated to work best together. Using the full Bluesky system (base, color, top) is recommended for optimal longevity and performance.
How do I remove Bluesky Gel Polish?
To remove, gently file off the top coat, then soak nails in an acetone-based gel remover for 10-15 minutes. Gently push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick or cuticle pusher.
Is Bluesky Gel Polish safe for my nails?
Bluesky Gel Polish is fully tested and EU approved. Proper application and removal are essential to maintain nail health.
What is the 'Oxblood' color like?
Oxblood is a deep, rich, blood-red shade, offering a sophisticated and classic look.
Can I mix Bluesky Gel Polish colors?
Yes, you can mix Bluesky Gel Polish colors to create custom shades, but ensure each layer is cured properly.
Troubleshooting
Gel polish peels or lifts shortly after application.
Ensure nails were properly prepped and cleansed of all oils. Make sure base coat, color coats, and top coat were cured for the correct amount of time and that coats were applied thinly.
Gel polish remains sticky after curing.
This is the inhibition layer. Wipe off with a cleanser or alcohol wipe after applying the top coat and curing, unless using a no-wipe top coat.
Gel polish is difficult to remove.
Ensure you have filed off the top coat layer first. Soak nails in acetone-based gel remover for the recommended time (usually 10-15 minutes), gently buffing away softened gel. Do not force removal.
Uneven or streaky color application.
Apply thinner coats of the gel polish. Allow each coat to cure fully before applying the next. Ensure even brush strokes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
To achieve the 14-day wear, the Bluesky Gel Polish must be applied correctly. This involves:
- Preparation: Clean and file nails to the desired shape. Gently buff the nail surface to remove shine and ensure adhesion. Cleanse nails to remove dust and oils.
- Base Coat: Apply a thin layer of Bluesky Base Coat and cure under a UV or LED lamp according to the lamp's specifications (typically 30-60 seconds for LED, 2 minutes for UV).
- Color Application: Apply one to two thin coats of Bluesky Gel Polish - Oxblood. Cure each coat separately under the lamp.
- Top Coat: Apply a Bluesky Top Coat and cure under the lamp.
- Finishing: Wipe away any sticky inhibition layer with a cleanser wipe if your top coat requires it.
Compatibility:
- Lamps: Compatible with standard UV lamps (2-minute cure) and LED lamps (30-60 second cure, depending on wattage).
- System: For best results, use with other Bluesky base coats, top coats, and preparation products.
Care:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or solvents.
- While durable, be mindful of excessive force on the nail tips.
- To remove, use a Bluesky Gel Polish Remover or acetone-based remover, following the specific removal instructions to avoid damaging the natural nail.
