Meet two of Bluesky's innovative products...
Gum Gel
Gum Gel is an innovative product that contains acrylic and gel. This 2 – in – 1 formula combines the best features of both. It’s your nail ally for nail extension as it’s durable and lasts for over a month. Ideal for nail extension with a pleasant and discreet scent. It’s easy to apply and to make it easier, nail professionals could use the dual tips of the Bluesky collection.
Gum Gel Key Features:
Unlike hard gel, Gum Gel is not self-leveling, but stays where you place it; unlike acrylic, it doesn’t harden until it’s cured in an LED or UV lamp.
Cure time is about 60 seconds in an LED lamp or two minutes in a UV lamp. Gum Gel nails do not experience heat spikes during curing, and there is no tacky layer after curing.
Gum Gel is more flexible than acrylic, stronger than hard gel, and lighter than both.
The product can be applied as an overlay over natural nails, a tip overlay, or sculpted over a form.
Gel polish colors can be applied over the product, and gel polish can be mixed with Gum Gel to create a design.
Gum Gel is available in 20 colors:

Matrix Gel
Drawing straight lines on nails can be a problem that many beginners struggle with, and even some experienced nail professionals.
With Bluesky Matrix Gel, beginners and professionals can make more accurate, clean and quicker straight lines and dots.
Enter the Matrix of countless, creative designs.
