Colour Accuracy

Colours may appear differently on screen than in person. Unfortunately it is impossible to replicate a colour accurately on screen, however we do our best to get as close as possible. This is because different displays render colours completely differently. Additionally, colours can look different against skin tones, different backgrounds and in different lighting.

Compatibility

We cannot guarantee polishes or lamps from other brands will work with our products, as they have been designed to work at a complementary wavelength.

    Beautiful dark green

    Really beautiful dark green colour, quite transparent if applied thinly. Gives a stained glass effect :) No chips! Love it!

    Great dark green

    Pretty accurate on the colour match. Great in matte as in my photo as well as gloss.

    Unfortunately disappointed, didn’t cure?

    I read the reviews and was tossing up but absolutely love this shade of green so thought I’d give it a go. Application was normal, colour was great, looked close to black with the top coat added but I was thrilled.

    Until a few days in multiple nails started to peel away and there was a layer of uncurled gel underneath.

    I panicked, removed and reapplied, ensuring each layer was cured for 90 seconds this time, no builder gel, and only two layers of the green, and the same thing happened!

    So disappointing (and dangerous).

    Hi Eliza,

    That is an issue we haven't seen before. Just to check, are you applying the recommended thin layers?

    Please make sure to get in touch with our customer service team at info@gelous.co if you believe you have received a faulty product. This way we can work with you to resolve the issue or replace your product 😊

    Gelous.
