Quite recently, a qualitative revolution took place in nail design - the Shellak CND company launched a product on the market that surpasses all known ones in durability. The product got its name from the name of the company - shellac. The new product quickly gained recognition all over the world: with high-quality application, it lasts up to three weeks without chipping or other damage, the coating does not require serious skills. There was only one problem - cost. It is not surprising that very soon a more affordable product entered the market, in no way inferior to the main brand in quality.
Gel polish Bluesky
Features of Bluesky shellac
Shellac was released by manufacturers not so long ago, but, nevertheless, it immediately gained the popularity of millions of women.
It has become something between a regular nail polish and a gel used for extensions.
This product
is characterized by durability, despite the fact that in other characteristics, such as color and shine, it is almost identical to a regular nail coating.
Women fell in love with the product because it allows them to completely forget about manicure for a while. In addition, the Bluesky palette has more than 250 colors , so every lady can choose what she likes. And these gel polishes are quite affordable.
Produced by Bluesky
In 2006, a Chinese company from Guangzhou opened the first enterprise to produce gel polishes and products for similar manicures. The first batches of products were assembled in a small workshop by several workers, but thanks to competent marketing and strict adherence to quality, the products were not inferior to the main brand, but had a price three times lower. Quite quickly, the Bluesky brand quickly entered the world market. All products comply with quality standards and international safety requirements.

Bluesky gel polish: palette on nails, photo
Any gel product hardens under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. Since UV rays are one of the components of sunlight, gel polishes are protected from it and stored in opaque bottles. This measure complicates the choice of a suitable coating: the shades of shellac bluesky cannot be assessed at first glance at the jar, as is the case with traditional varnishes, whose textures are clearly visible through the glass.
Palettes (color charts), samples applied to tips, or photos of a finished manicure come to the rescue. But the last option, although the most visual, is most often inaccessible - it is difficult to find a person who has tried all hundreds of shades on himself, and even took high-quality photographs. Therefore, it is better to choose your varnish in this way, knowing the numbers or other designations of several options. For example, this is how some Blusky shades look in the photo when opening the bottle and on the surface of the nails:
Attention! Do not confuse shellacs from Bluesky and other brands, from other manufacturers, and especially from fakes.
Bottle design
Bluesky bottles are mainly produced in black. This has become its signature difference from other brands. But the Chinese also produced colored bubbles.
The color of the bottle does not necessarily match the color of the gel polish inside. But it conveys its approximate shade.
On the back of the bottle there is necessarily information about the composition of the gel polish, the manufacturer and warnings for the user. This didn't happen before.
Initially, the name of the gel polishes contained the word “Shellac”.
But the word “Shellac” is an officially registered trademark of CND. And Bluesky was banned from using it. The Chinese brand now has the trademark "Gel Polish".
These Chinese products have been on the Russian market for about 4 years. During this time, you can form an opinion about it, and reviews from experienced nail artists confirm its high quality.
Now it is a full-fledged world-class brand, used by millions of women from Russia and other countries.
Some features when applying
Many nail service workers switch to the products of the prolific Chinese brand due to its cheapness and the variety of colors offered. And then they encounter difficulties when working with it. Many Bluesky gel polishes are not thick enough and flow onto the cuticle when applied.
You need to be prepared for this fact. Each craftswoman, naturally, has her own secrets in her work, but generally it is recommended to apply Bluesky gel polish in multi-layers, especially light colors, otherwise the color will turn out unsaturated and faded. This, naturally, increases the work time of the master, but the result usually lives up to expectations - the coating lasts on the nails for up to three weeks and the client is satisfied.
A little about the disadvantages of Bluesky shellac
It is fair to note that with all the advantages described above, gel polish has a number of disadvantages that are also worth mentioning. Experts highlight the following negative aspects of the product:
- Many people apply shellac in a salon, but it costs more than a regular manicure.
- If you decide to master the technique at home, then you need to purchase the necessary equipment and related materials: “Bluesky” gel polish, a thermal lamp with UV radiation, a manicure kit, a special shellac remover; All this is also not cheap, especially since you can hardly get by with one bottle of shellac; you need to buy several.
- Sometimes, especially if you keep this manicure on your nails for more than a week, cracks may appear on the surface of the gel polish. Moisture gets into them, and this, in turn, is an ideal place for bacteria to multiply. That is, if you have applied the coating, it is best to do housework with gloves.
