Bluesky Starter Kit

After getting my nails done professionally a few times recently I definitely caught the wanting to have lovely nails all the time bug. The last time I paid £25 to have them professionally done and one chipped in under a week (I was so gutted!) so I figured I'd give a DIY at home a go and settled on this set as it would only take a couple of trips to the salon to cover the price. It's one of the more expensive starter sets I've seen on amazon but I would definitely recommend this brand. So far I've done my nails twice and am so happy with the results. They easily last two weeks and I only removed them to have a change of colour. I find them easier than normal nail polish as you don't have to sit around waiting to dry/cure. Just 30/60 seconds under the UV lamp and your ready for your next coat or good to go. I think it takes patience to do them neatly so set up a tv show in the background so you can take your time. I'm no where near salon level at painting my nails (yet!) but I think this is a brilliant at home and much more affordable way to do it.

Bought this kit, having used gel kits previously. Lamp is big enough to get your whole hand, including thumb under. Uk plug. Comes with 3 decent colours, black, red, pink and true to the pics. Kit comes well presented in a box and all products are brand new. Would recommend. I paid full price and feel it’s value for money. Didn’t take long to do my nails, with great results and comes with very clear and simple step by step instructions

So pleased with this purchase that was to compliment the nail gel builder set and other gel polishes I brought. You really don't get any burn from these LED/UV nail lamps, the polish and builder cures everytime, plus it looks so sleek and sexy, plenty of room to do your toes under too. Nail files are professional, as is the whole kit. Haven't tried the polishes that came with it yet as bought other colours from the same brand and if they are anything to go by, then they will be just as fabulous. I really do recommend buying this kit along with the BLUESKY NAIL GEL BUILDER KIT, one of my favourite purchase in a long time. Totally professional kit but can be used for those of us who aren't professional Nail Artists. Can't recommend this product enough, not the polishes or nail builder gel set by the same brand 💯. 10/10❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I really wanted to like this product, and I did! It took a little while to get used to doing the process myself but it went pretty smoothly. The nails lasted for about 1.5 weeks and were easy to remove. At the nail salon they tend to last 2 weeks, hence the 4 stars. I’m happy I found it so I can save some money!

A few years ago I invested in a home LED gel nail kit and was lucky to even reach a week without the nails chipping which was so disappointing. Lockdown meant I couldn't get my gel nails done in salon and I was reluctant to invest in home gel nails again but did a search on the system with the best review, which turned out to be Bluesky. I didn't have much hope for this, but was amazed at how easy it was to do the manicure. Less messy and fewer steps than the old kit I used years ago. I am now coming up to 2 weeks after my first manicure and my nails haven't chipped and look fantastic. The polish is thin, so no ugly thick 'home gel nail' look either. I am now investing in more colours and doubt I will ever return to the salon as this is far faster and more affordable.

Did my research and this was rated highly, got it on Amazon when it had a discount but honestly it's worth full price. Really good kit, works just as good as a salon gel (you have to practice though... my first few attempts were awful 😆). I also bought extra cleanser wipes and I got some of the removal wraps which were so easy to use. I did notice that my nails weren't as solid as salon, but I also bought the Hard Gel from this brand and you now can't tell the difference between my home kit and a salon gel manicure.

This kit has everything you need to start doing your own gel nails, including some well-written instructions. I see on their website that they do a similar kit with pale gels. This one came with a really bright red and a black gel which I will never use - unless I go mad at Hallowe’en! It also has a light mauvy-pink gel. Unlike salon gels, these didn’t smell chemical at all. They went on as easily as normal polish. I ordered a set of pale polishes separately and have since ordered some nail wraps (for removing the gel nails). The LED ‘dryer’ is curved and the lights run round the curve on the inside which means the sides of the nails are cured as well as the tops. The LED unit seems very sturdy. The gel nails soaked off with an acetone-based nail polish remover and my nails seem none the worse for it. I have applied gel nails twice now with the kit and the gel has stayed on for at least two weeks. I am very impressed and wish I had bought this product years ago.

This does the job you want so easily. Clear instructions and normal sized bottles of polish (not those silly 5m bottles!). I do need to get used to using much less liquid on the brush though, but this will come with practice. The equipment was great…. the finished product will improve as my technique does. No fault with the kit whatsoever. Great value for money; it’ll save me a fortune!

Really love this product. It’s been 10 days and no chipping of the polish yet

Everything seems to be alright as we opened the box. Let’s see how it goes and I will provide with the updates. My first manicure 💅 1. Pre- care is important for a good manicure. Start by removing cuticles followed by buffing the nail surface 2. Cure base coat for 60s and even after that it may be tacky and that’s how it should be. 3. The color coat has to be as thin as possible and should be cured for 120s or more 4. The top coat is most trickiest, as per the manual you should clean the top coat with cleaning wipes but it makes the lose it shine by doing so… therefore it up to you how you finish them All in all it’s a great hobby to have and with practice you can do so much more

I have been trying to do my nails at home. I have bought a couple of gel kits but had to return because they are very bad. I have used this for 4 days now and it’s holding up well. I will update if this changes.

Da ich Recht weiche Nägel habe, bricht und blättert normaler Nagellack nach 3 Tagen von den Nägeln, vor allem auch wenn man den Abwasch etc. macht. Base Coat, Farbe und Top Coat lassen sich sehr einfach auftragen, unter dem Licht habe ich es ein wenig länger aushärten lassen (aus Angst es sei noch nicht trocken). Bisher sind 3 Tage vergangen und die Nägel sind noch perfekt wie am ersten Tag. Wie lange sie maximal halten wird sich zeigen, ebenso wie die Entfernung des Gels. Update: Der Nagellack hat problemlos 2 Wochen gehalten. Zum Entfernen habe ich mir Nagellackentferner mit Aceton gekauft, 30min in Alufolie gewickelt. Das Abkratzen war echt mühsam, jedoch habe ich auch vorsichtig versucht den Nagellack abzukratzen. Werde nach einer Alternative suchen. Mit ein bisschen Sorgfalt und Übung sehen die Nägel echt perfekt aus und man spart sich den Gang zum Nagelstudio. Bis auf die umständliche Entfernung ist es echt ein sehr gutes Set.

Ein super Anfänger Set um sich selbst Gel Nägel zu machen. Hab es gekauft um meine Naturnägel zu verstärken, da sie mir regelmäßig an den Seiten eingerissen sind. Jetzt mit der Verstärkung ist es so gut wie nicht mehr. Hab mittlerweile für mich herausgefunden dass bei mir 2 Schichten Farbe zwischen Top- und Basecoat ausreicht. Im Nachhinein würde ich mir wahrscheinlich eher die einzelnen Komponenten einzeln (Lampe,Base,Top und ein helles Rosa) kaufen da ich doch lieber dezente Farben benutze. Mit der Haltbarkeit bin ich auch mehr als zufrieden. Nach ca 3 Wochen mache ich die alten Schichten teilweise ab und übertrage dann die neuen Schichten. Dadurch sind meine Nägel endlich mal länger geworden( siehe Bild) sonst sind sie nie über die Finger Spitze gewachsen. Halten würde das Gel wahrscheinlich auch länger.
