New Gelish colours. Love in bloom

[MsBeautyBee]

They arrived today - yay. Unfortunately I haven't been able to take photos in the daylight, so I think they look a bit darker in my pictures than they really are. Like all the newest collections, these are thicker so they need to be applied thinly to avoid wrinkles. I find the hardest thing to do with with these thicker polishes is colorpops.

Every colour in the collection covers really well in two coats.

Oh they are thicker?? I hate when they do that! Not sure why a lot of their newer collections have a thicker consistency. I've found that less talk from their breast cancer awareness 2012 collection is also thicker which makes it more difficult to use. Also I don't have the house of gelish collection but I've read many reviews that they are thick too. :/. Anyways, I love the colors!

I did some nail art with all of the colors in this collection.

Very pretty!

Yea, they are thicker and will wrinkle up like the House of Gelish collection if applied too thick.

Aww bummer. Well thx for the heads up. Ill have to paint carefully. They will still be on my purchase list since the colors are too pretty to pass up.

I think the thicker consistency is to create better coverage in 2 coats. The old thinner colours are more forgiving to apply but often take 3 good coats and can still look a little patchy if you're not careful.

The new thicker colours need a thinner application but cover well in less coats (which means you are using less product for each coat and less coats) :wink2:

Hi, my Fashion Week Chic wouldn't cure in my LED lamp but it does cure in my UV lamp. Totally random I know! It literally stayed totally 'wet' and even though the top coat cured okay, the whole nail peeled off in one go the next day. Totally embarrassing! I'm not saying that's the problem, but that's my experience with one of the most recent Gelish colours x

How weird. I would send it back to Harmony.

Does anyone know how long it will be til they're available to buy separately? x

Have used another couple of colours from Love In Bloom today and having major issues, worse than the shadow collection! I love gelish but I don't like this new thick consistency they seem to have. Have tried everything and not curing under LED lamp and once top coat cures they are just crinkling up and peelig off!

I have used five of them and one three times on clients now, with no problems at all. In fact they go on like a dream in two thin coats. You must be applying them too thickly.

Hi estilo, silly question (but wondering as am planning to buy these) are you using Gelish brand LED?

 

[estilo]

Hi, yes I am using the 18G gelish led lamp.
Will call harmony again on Monday as these colours are most certainly not a dream to work with!

I'm am waiting on mine coming today and am so excited but a bit worried now re previous posts.
Think i will trial a couple of colours first as I have never had wrinkled/ uncured problems, although I haven't used the thicker consistency ones yet so will take heed of previous tips, applying super thin etc.

Here's a comparison for the orange

Thank you, it really helps seeing next to each other x

Could you maybe try curing for 1 minute instead of the usual 30seconds? I'm sure I read somewhere on here other geeks have done it with the thicker consistency colours or darker shades. Xx
