That's not quite correct. If a product is SOLD in China and not made there, it has to be submitted for possible animal testing.Hi Fee, any beauty product manufactured in China for use on people must by law be tested on an animal before it reaches the public hence the animal cruelty factor.

It can be made in China and sold elsewhere in the world and still be cruelty free.
It says they're not animal tested on the uk supplier page, but there is not a detailed policy there. I would want a bit more of a detailed answer from the company before being happy that they're cruelty free. I'm strict though
Yes there's been a bit of a change lately. However, it's not the cosmetics made in china and sold elsewhere that have to be tested. It's cosmetics made elsewhere and sold in china.Actually, it's a bit more complex than that. The recent (June 2014) change in the law says that "ordinary" cosmetics made in China and sold elsewhere do not have to be tested on animals. There are three issues: 1. whether gel polish will qualify as an ordinary cosmetic; regular nail polish does, but it is unclear whether UV cured products will. 2. the new legislation removes the requirement for animal testing, but many/most companies will continue to test on animals. 3. Although companies no longer have to do animal testing, the Chinese government still carries out post-market animal testing of cosmetic products.

Any cosmetics can be made in china and be cruelty free. Which is why brands like l'oreal and estee lauder cannot call themselves cruelty free. But brands like makeup geek who manufacture in china but do not sell there are cruelty free.
I think it's comes off the same,I personally bought the bluesky for my own nails to start with then a lot of clients asked for it! I do explain that it's not shellac ect and they are always happy with them xxWhat do you prefer about it?
It definitely doesn't come off like shellac ime. Do your clients know it's not a professional and safely tested product and that its counterfeit?

Sorry yes I could have written that more clearly! [emoji4] but its a Chinese company, produced and sold in China so it's not for me ️xx
But now they are very clear they are not shellac right? Copying other brands is something all companies do, remember the mineral powder make-up? Now here in the NL Micelair Water is brought to the market by Garnier, now all the brands are selling the same product.Let me be clear that my objection to BS and CCO is not that they are Chinese brands. I work a great deal in China and there are a couple of Chinese brands that I like a lot. My concern about these brands is that they are counterfeit.
You just need to look on the BlueSky official website to see that it still is a counterfeit.But now they are very clear they are not shellac right?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's not ok that bluesky started simply copying the shellac name and look, but here in the NL it is a brand on it's own, everybody knows it's not a CND product. If a salon claims to do shellac and uses bluesky ore another brand instead I think that's terrible, but that's more a salon problem, not about the product. I know a lot of salons that use top brand products but use all the wrong techniques ore customer service.
Me,I charge £10 for gel xxWhat do those who use bluesky charge their customers for gel polish? Out of interest.
Hi guys n gals,
Today I qualify as a CND Shellac tech. I cant wait to get started. My first few customers are relations who are coming from a girl who uses Bluesky. Ive heard horror stories about the stuff. Ideally i would love them to get her to take it off but thats not always possible. Have you any tips or advice? Xx

Poor quality. If you do a blusky in the searchbar you will see alot of negative feedback. I was told to STEER clear!Hello, what kind of things have you heard?
I personally use IBD but I have used Bluesky in the passed before I qualified and thought it was just as good. But now i just use it for nail art.
Now reading what you have put has made me think twice about even using it for that.
