Gel Nail Polish Set, 9th Anniversary Set 4, 2 x 10ml, A044 Musk Pink, S06N Pink Gold, Glitter (Requires Curing Under UV LED Lamp)

YOU NEED TO HAVE A UV LAMP TO CURE THIS POLISH - IT WILL NOT SET ON ITS OWN This review is for Bluesky 9th Anniversary Set 4; Musk Pink & Pink Glitter. The pictures really do not do this colour justice as it is really lovely. The musk pink is a pinky purple with almost a slightly brown tone to it, which I suppose is best classed as a "nude" shade. If this colour was available as a lipstick, I would be looking to buy it as it is so pretty. Whereas 1 coat actually looked quite nice (and could possibly work as a base for a french polish), I applied 2 and got a nice even colour that isn't overly transparent. The glitter is a clear polish with pink glitter. I tried applying it on its own but didn't think the glitter was going to cover the nail well without leaving gaps, so applied a coat of the pink musk first & then 2 coats of the glitter. It now has a lovely coverage without being able to see my natural nail underneath. I think it would also look good as a single coat over another colour such as silver, black or white. Both colours were really smooth, easy to apply & cured very well under my lamp. For this application I used: Bluesky all in one base & topcoat Bluesky hard gel Bluesky Musk Pink/Pink Glitter Some of the pale colours can be quite transparent & hard to get good coverage without 3/4 coats - this particular shade, however, came out very well in just 2 coats but you could possibly apply 3 coats of colour if needed. I can see this being one of my go-to shades now as I am in love. I keep checking my nails out as I am so taken by how nice the colours are & I simply love the glitter as well as it goes so well with the pink musk. For anyone that likes subtle shades but maybe with a little glitz, this set is fabulous. It's ageless and would look great for all seasons. It's nice enough to look great with an expensive dress or jeans & a top - It dresses up & down. Totally recommend.

I’m a fan of Bluesky gel polish, after trying a couple of different budget brands over the years my conclusion is that Bluesky gels provide the best value for money. Whilst they are at the top end of my price preference they consistently provide good coverage which lasts well, I can get approximately 10 days out of a diy application before any peeling starts. I like this colour set but the pink is brighter than I expected, it’s not as dusky as I thought it would be, but it’s still pretty and the glitter colour compliments it well. I like it and so does my daughter, aged 11. Picture is of 2 coats (excuse my not very talented application!)

Perfect colours Blue sky is and outstanding product have used them for years could not recommend enough long lasting product that goes on perfectly always true to colour

The purple is a great shade, lots of pigment and a vibrant colour. Be aware the pink is very translucent. The pink makes a good base for a French polish but still needs several think layers to achieve the desired tint

Fantastic polishes and both the colours are beautiful. The gels themselves are lovely to apply and the perfect consistency for me. The brush is also fab, not too chunky and fans out well to get a clean application close to the cuticle. I used 3 thin coats of each as I like as much opaqueness as possible. I had to manipulate the glitters in the polish to try get as much coverage as possible though on the 2 accent nails as the glitter applied quite sparse. Would recommend a similar colour gel polish to the glitter painted underneath to get a more opaque look if like me that’s what you prefer. You could just apply more coats, but no one wants a chunky mani. If you prefer just a little sparkle the glitter makes a perfect topper and could be paired with many other colours. Longevity wise they still look freshly painted and are way better than my previous choice of gel colour. Bluesky convert!

I’m absolutely in love with the base/top coat set. So far, my manicure has lasted 16 days with no sign of chipping yet. Very affordable as well, and provides a long lasting manicure right from your own home. Lovely and shiny too, and makes gel colours stand out. I recommend turning your hand upside down right before curing so you get a nice even, rounded cover on the nail and don’t forget to lightly run the brush on the tips to “cap” the nail. Gel polish can take a while to apply and cure, but it’s so worth it! You won’t regret your purchase.

Colours true to my screen, and as always with Blue Sky, last a good couple of weeks. Great product.

I would recommend, very easy to work with and looks great. Beautiful colours
