Nail shaping and preparation
Nail shaping
Start by filing your nails into the desired shape. Well-shaped nails provide the foundation for successful nail polish application. We recommend using high-quality files, which you can find in abundance in the CesarsShop selection. You can find all nail files here.
Trimming cuticles
Gently push back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher . If your cuticles are tight, try a cuticle remover to soften them and make them easier to remove.
Roughening of the nail surface
Gently roughen the surface of the nail with a soft buffer file, such as a Bluesky buffer. This will improve the durability of the polish and help the polish adhere to the nail.
Dust removal and nail cleaning
Brush all dust off your nails carefully and wipe the surface of your nails with Bluesky cleanser pads . This will remove excess oil from the nail surface and disinfect your nails. The easiest way to brush off the dust is with a nail brush .
Gel polish
When you start applying the hardener products, remember to avoid getting the products on your skin. This will reduce the risk of developing an allergy to gel products.
Applying and curing the base coat
Apply a thin layer of Bluesky Base Coat to your nails. Make sure to apply the top layer of the nail (called "capping") to seal the edge of the nail and improve durability. Cure the base coat under an LED lamp for 1 minute (2 minutes under a UV lamp).
Applying layers of colored varnish
Apply a thin layer of Bluesky color polish in the same way as the base coat. Cure the polish under the lamp for 1-2 minutes.
If desired, you can apply a second and third layer of color varnish, always curing under the lamp.
Topcoat application and finishing
Finally, apply a thin layer of Bluesky top coat in the same way as the previous layers. Cure it under the lamp for 1-2 minutes. Finally, remove the tackiness from the surface of the polish with Bluesky cleaning pads.
Using cuticle oil
Finally, apply nourishing cuticle oil to the cuticles. This moisturizes the cuticles and gives them a finished look.
Gel polish durability
Bluesky gel polish usually lasts 2-3 weeks without any problems. If your nails are naturally oily, it is recommended to use Bluesky primer products under the base coat to improve durability.
By following these instructions, you will achieve a gorgeous and long-lasting gel polish effortlessly!
