Customers say this polish delivers rich coverage, typically needing just one to two coats. Many find it versatile for both standalone use and as a base for designs. While most enjoy its deep colour, some note it can develop a navy tint over time.

    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 4-star review! We’re so glad to hear you like Black Out as a colour 💕

    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.

    We’re also really sorry to hear about the peeling issues you’ve experienced, especially when using it with builder gel — we know how frustrating that can be. In some cases, very smooth nail surfaces can create adhesion challenges, even with builder gel, so nail prep and surface texture can make a big difference to wear.

    We really appreciate you sharing your honest experience — feedback like this is so helpful for us and other customers. Please feel free to reach out to our team at info@gelous.co
    if you’d like tips for improving adhesion or recommendations for other shades ✨

    Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review!
