Shellac bluesky: technology for applying and removing gel polish

What is Bluesky gel polish?

Shellac bluesky is an innovative product that simultaneously has the properties of a varnish and a gel. The length of time it stays on the plates depends directly on the time of nail growth; the material itself stays on the plates for more than two weeks.

There is a widespread belief that Bluesky gel polishes are counterfeits of popular branded nail materials. In fact, opened more than 10 years ago in China, it introduced its products to the market as the original. Their products undergo strict testing, which means they do not have a negative effect on the plates and do not cause allergies. The formation of such an erroneous opinion is facilitated by the low cost of the product and the similarity to the name shellac CND. Shellac is a resin found in tropical plants that is used to create gel polishes. Therefore, Shellac is the name given to any manicure material made on its basis.

Gel polishes of this brand have a dense structure, so they are easy to apply and do not spread. The liquid lays down evenly, forming a smooth surface.

Answers to popular questions from manicurists

In addition to reviews from ordinary users, on the Internet on forums dedicated to manicure, there are many opinions expressed by professionals. After analyzing them, we came to the conclusion that manicurists often prefer Bluesky.

We turned to a beauty salon to one of these specialists to get answers to the questions most often asked by women trying to choose the best cosmetic products for nail care.

Is acid-free primer dried in a UV lamp?

A nice feature of most primers is that they dry quickly. It only takes a few seconds after application, and the nails are ready for further enhancement. In this regard, liquid primers do not need to dry after use. An exception may be products with a gel-like texture. They will take a little longer to dry.

When purchasing a primer, study what is written on its packaging. The manufacturer must indicate the need for drying, if any.

The above also applies to acid-free primers. The vast majority of them do not require the use of a UV lamp. But a reservation should be made here, since new products appear on the market every year and even monthly. I fully admit that some of them will need to be brought to the desired state in a lamp to obtain the best effect. This will certainly be stated in the instructions for use.

Where is the best place to buy Bluesky primer?

It is important to decide where you will buy or order Bluesky. The optimal volume is 10 ml

And this is the offer you will see in most stores and on selling sites.

I recommend making such a purchase only in specialized stores. Due to the fact that the product is in wide demand, you can find many dubious copies of it on the market. Only the packaging is similar to the original. The content may have no effect. I think it’s unfortunate buyers who bought a fake that leave negative reviews online about a good, proven product.

By purchasing the product from a trusted place, you ensure yourself a high-quality and safe manicure.

How does an acid-free primer differ from an acid primer?

Every day I have to decide which primer is right for which client. Much depends on individual characteristics. If your nails are problematic, there is no question of using an acidic product. It may make the problem worse. It needs to be handled very carefully. Contact with skin is undesirable.

When it comes to home use, I recommend acid-free options. Bluesky is optimal for frequent use. It is safe, therefore, even if you are new to the business, you will not make a mistake and will not cause harm to yourself.

Acid primer is used by specialists when they are confident that the nail plates are in good condition. It provides excellent adhesion and long lasting effect.

What does Bluesky shellac contain?

Bluesky shellac composition includes:

1. Film former. It is necessary to form a durable coating. Its activation occurs when exposed to UV rays from a special lamp to create a manicure.
2. Photoinitiator. Thanks to it, the polymerization process of gel polish starts.
3. Methacrylates. They are necessary to create a dense consistency of the material.
4. Pigments. They determine the color of the varnish.
5. Bismuth chloride. It is added if it is necessary to create a pearlescent shade.
6. Silica. It does not allow the pigment in the bottle to settle.

This composition is typical for other shellacs.

Tips for caring for your nails after the procedure

Shellac makes your nails a little thinner, weaker, and requires special care for some time. After removing the nail polish, the salon technician will offer procedures to restore the nail plates. A miracle will not happen, but your nails will recover faster than with home treatments, and you won’t need a nail file. Experts consider nail sealing and paraffin therapy to be the most effective methods.

If your financial capabilities do not allow you to take care of your nails in a salon, you will have to do it yourself by purchasing the necessary products at a specialized cosmetic or manicure store. It is possible to get by with simple home remedies - olive oil, lemon juice, bath salts, essential oil. Home restoration is carried out in stages.

• Moisturizing and nutrition is carried out using an oil bath. Heat the olive oil until slightly warm and soak your nails for about five minutes. Then blot your fingertips with a napkin and wait about ten minutes until the remaining oil is absorbed. If the nails after shellac are too dry, break and flake, repeat the procedure several more times at intervals of a day.
• Bleaching. After removing shellac, it is sometimes discovered that the nail plates have turned yellow. In this case, they are bleached with lemon juice. Citric acid not only brightens, but also moisturizes and strengthens nails. Make a lemon nail mask as follows: cut the fruit in half and dip the ends of your fingers into the lemon pulp for a couple of minutes, then rinse with water.
• Strengthening. Baths with sea salt enriched with essential oils will help. This salt, designed specifically for hand care, is found in some lines of cosmetics, for example, PRO Manicure, DNC, Blanc Bleu. An analogue of a special product can be ordinary sea salt from a pharmacy, but then you will have to add a few drops of essential oil, preferably orange, to the bath.

Almost any online store that sells kits for applying shellac also offers products for the recovery period. Such preparations contain organic and chemical complexes to restore, strengthen and reanimate nails. Most often on sale you can find restorative compositions for nails of the following brands:

• PN-Nourish Nageloil and Nail Hardener oils (Germany);
• resuscitator “Horsepower” (Russia);
• base coat after acrylic Restoration (USA);
• pencil Talika Nail Regenerator Serum (France).

Pros and cons of Bluesky

Gel polish of this brand has the following advantages:

• It creates a strong film, protection for the plate, which helps it not to collapse or break. Thanks to the coating, the girl grows a healthy nail in 2-3 weeks.
• Safe due to the absence of formaldehyde and other harmful substances.
• The procedure for creating a manicure lasts from half an hour to an hour.
• Approved for use by pregnant women.
• It has no contraindications except for individual intolerance to the components of gel polish.
• Low price.
• Wide range of colors.
• The product layer can be removed with a special liquid; no special techniques are required.

However, Bluesky shellac also has its downsides:

• With frequent exposure of nails to hot water and household chemicals, the coating peels off or microcracks appear in which bacteria begin to multiply.
• It is necessary to have the skills to create a manicure with this product, since failure to follow any rules can also lead to peeling.

Description of the Bluesky primer

Bluesky non-acid primer is available in a black jar containing 8, 10 or 15 ml of product. The advantages of the primer include the following properties:

• absolute safety;
• no pungent odor;
• does not evaporate when applied;
• will not cause irritation if it gets on the skin;
• does not destroy the nail plate;
• Suitable for problem nails.

Bluesky protects the artificial nail surface from peeling and cracking. When applied, it is evenly distributed over the plane, creating a film on which to apply gel polish.

For ease of application, the manufacturer has equipped the bottle with a flexible, comfortable brush.

Step by step instructions for applying Bluesky Shellac

Instructions for using Bluesky Shellac Color are similar to the technique for applying Shellac CND. But, if previously it was not possible to create a manicure using these products, then there are instructions on how to apply bluesky shellac:

1. Preparation. At this stage, it is necessary to remove the cuticle, level the surface of the plate with a buff, and shape the nails. Then the nails are treated with a degreaser. These actions must be performed so that the gel polish “adheses” to the plate better.
2. The basis. You need to take a small amount of base onto the brush and carefully begin to apply the liquid to the nail from the cuticle to the free edge. It is necessary to cover the entire surface of the nail, leaving no unfilled areas. Then dry the layer with a UV lamp.
3. Color layer. Bluesky should be applied in a thin layer to the plate. Dry it under a lamp. Then repeat these steps twice more.
4. Protection. Fix is ​​applied so that the gel polish lasts for a long time, so that chips and microcracks do not occur.
5. Removing excess. Treat your nails again with degreaser.

You can repeat this technique at home if you have a UV lamp and Bluesky materials.

Wearing Features

Like any other varnish, Bluesky single-phase coating has its own characteristics. Following these simple rules can ensure a longer life for both the manicure and the coating itself in the bottle. The most pleasant quality of this varnish is that it can be applied immediately after removing the previous layer. It does no more harm to nails than simple gel or shellac, from which nails begin to deteriorate severely only after 3–4 uses in a row. Manufacturers claim that the Bluesky brand has presented single-phase gel polish as completely safe because it is characterized by a porous structure through which the nail supposedly breathes.

The general question of the harmlessness of this method remains questionable. As with any other color coating, Bluesky single-phase gel varnish contains aggressive coloring pigments. It is possible that if they get on the nail and are worn directly on the nail for a long time without a base, they can not only color it, but also ruin it. Moreover, the darker or brighter the varnish, the greater the likelihood of tinting the plate, which is then very difficult to get rid of. If you choose just such varnishes, then when preparing your nails, do not polish them so much, let the gloss remain on the nails. This way the plate is less likely to become stained.

Bluesky single-phase gel polish must be dried strictly following the instructions included with the polish. If you expose your nails to a lamp, the coating may become dull, cracked, or wrinkled. If there is not enough time for drying, the varnish will smear at the first pressure on the layer.

Why Bluesky cracks and doesn't stick well to nails

There are several reasons why gel polish on bluesky nails cracks:

• the plates contained oil or rich hand cream:
• the stage of degreasing the nails was missed;
• the surface is not treated with a buff, then there will be nicks and microcracks on it, which will cause peeling of even the most expensive shellac;
• degreasing was carried out with alcohol, acetone, and nail polish remover;
• the number of layers is either too few or too many, there should be from 2 to 4;
• there was contact with household chemicals without seals;
• a person takes antibiotics;
• gel polish, base and fix different brands;
• individual intolerance to Blueskaya components;
• severe layering of nails.

In order to solve the problem of peeling, it is necessary to identify the reason why bluesky shellac does not adhere well and eliminate it. The above steps should be reviewed to ensure that they are not violated.

Thus, Bluesky is a budget replacement for advertised shellacs, but it has completely identical properties and creates the same result.

Removal

Removal of Bluesky single-phase gel polish is carried out using a simple liquid for dissolving gel polish. It copes equally well with both single-phase and three-phase coatings. You can replace the special composition with simple nail polish remover with acetone. This happens as follows:

• Apply the liquid to cotton pads;
• If you have long nails and you want to remove this length, then cut them off first. Removing gel polish from long nails is inconvenient. The shorter the nails in this case, the more convenient;
• Wrap the disks around your fingers so that the wetted part of the disk is directly on the nail;
• Wrap your finger with foil or sealed film on top so that air gets to the compresses to a minimum;
• Leave the compress on your nails for as long as indicated in the liquid instructions. Usually it is 5 – 10 minutes;
• If nail polish remover with acetone is used, the compress exposure time increases to 15 - 20 minutes, and sometimes more;
• After this time, remove the compress from one finger and scrape the coating with an orange stick. It should be soft and easy to clean. If not, then seal the nail back in the foil and wait a couple more minutes. After that, check again. So check until you achieve the desired result;
• Now take an orange stick and gently, avoiding excessive pressure, remove the slurry from Bluesky gel polish from your nails. Be especially careful around the lunula area. Damage to it can result in the new nail growing back deformed and uneven.

In many ways, the process of removing the coating from nails turns out to be much more harmful and traumatic for them than wearing the gel itself. In addition, this method will not eliminate the coloring of the nail plate with the pigment of the varnish. Thus, after removing such a gel, you will have to paint your nails for quite a long time without breaks.
