I am so happy with my purchase, not only did it come quickly but it was so easy to understand and use. But, if after lockdown you began to look at ways to save money, grew desperate trying to get rid of those ugly outgrown cuticles, and are someone who enjoys a pamper session, an at-home gel nail kit is a hugely affordable alternative.

Instead, get a nail polish remover, acetone is stronger but non-acetone will work, but it will just take longer, or a specific gel polish remover like this one from Mylee, and douse cotton wool or lint-free wipes with the remover placed on each nail and wrap with kitchen foil. The compatible gel polishes use up to 84% bio-sourced ingredients and can be removed in the same way as traditional nail polish. All our testers found the kit simple and straightforward to use from the outset – you simply scan a QR code to bring up handy tutorials. At-home gel nail kits have become a lot more popular since lockdown when no one could attend their cherished beauty appointments. As we look to make our manicures last a bit longer now we’re able to go back to our nail techs, having a gel nail kit at home means you can tend to any pesky chips without revisiting a salon.If I'm honest, I was sceptical about this compact and cute device when I first opened it, thinking it would be a complete faff to use and that I would give up and head to my normal nail salon the same day. Make sure you have a brew ready-made because you'll need to sit and relax for 20 minutes while the remover gets to work.

DAY HIGH-GLOSS WEAR: Enjoy flawless nails for longer with our range of long-lasting and chip-resistant gel nail polishes. They are nice to have if you've already built a collection of neutral colours but a little too much for a beginner who much prefers muted tones like me.

BLUESKY continues to redefine the world of gel nail polish with innovative and trendsetting collections; collections that aim to dazzle and attract all eyes! AVOID FROM KEEPING THE POT IN THE DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR KEEPING THE POT IN EXTREME EXPOSURE TO LED OR UV LIGHT. They look similar in the bottles but once on the sample sticks, you can easily see the variation in colours.
