Initial Thoughts
The color range of the Rosé palette is fantastic! We have Moon, Pink Lemonade, Peach Ice Cream, Dark Rose, Blush, and Cameo in order. The shade used for this review was Blush. This set includes everything you need for a manicure at home! Tools like the cuticle pusher and nail file are high quality and easy to use. All products are package in a fabric bag, ideal for storage and use on the go!
The Process
Ambedo Beauty has provided clear instructions on how to use the kit on their website. The process begins with preparing the nails: polishing them and applying a thin layer of base coat. Each layer dries under the LED lamp in 60-90 seconds, which is very fast! The light comes with a 60 or 120-second timer to help you track how long your nails take to dry.
The texture of the nail shadows was softer than expected, making them easier to apply. Compared to liquid polish, you’ll have less to worry about color dripping from the applicator or leaving streaky marks. We love how beautifully each product layer was applied and the pigment built up each time. You must use more product coats to achieve a darker color depending on your chosen color.
Dipping your bristles into your base coat is an excellent trick before applying your eyeshadow! Thanks to this, we don’t need more gel on the brush, and the product spreads smoothly over the nail. All products are fragrance-free and free of parabens, formaldehyde, and other harmful chemicals.
Final Results
Overall, the gel polish dries well and has a lovely shine! The pigment is universal: from transparent to a deeper pink after several layers. The result feels stronger than regular nail polish, especially after applying the top coat.
This is the perfect product if you are a beginner and want to practice gel manicures at home! Applying the product to your nails may take some practice, but after a few coats, you will get used to the texture, and it will become accessible. Ambedo Beauty makes various color palettes and other excellent products like peel-off base coats and nail art brushes.
To remove the product, you must file off the top coat and soak your nails in foil and acetone. When using this method, the gel should come out within 10 minutes!
