    Blue-black

    This is a good colour, though it definitely has a blue tinge to it and I am looking for a black black colour. The wear is pretty good, though the colour peels off if your nails are too smooth (even with the builder gel).

    Hi Anita,

    Thanks so much for your feedback 😊 We’re glad to hear the wear has been good overall.

    This shade can have a slightly cool undertone. If you’re finding the finish isn’t quite as deep as you’d like, we’d recommend pairing it with our non-fluorescent top coat, as this can help achieve a truer black finish.

    In terms of peeling, making sure the nail is gently buffed and properly prepped before application can really help with adhesion - even when using Builder.
