It’s a very busy time at work right now and I really need an outlet. So every day that something is delivered in the mail and I can test something, I am over the moon. And as promised, I will write a review about everything I test.
Coscelia gel polish arrived first
The first box that arrived was from the brand ‘Coscelia’, a very nice box, very well packaged with 20 colors of gel polish in it. The first activity was to stick the color on each bottle, as it only had a number on it and this is not convenient at all.
The test
Would you rather watch the video review instead of reading it? Then scroll down.
The gel polish has a fairly viscous structure and is pleasant to work with. It covers very nicely. 2 layers are often sufficient to have a fully opaque effect. I only find the white color quite transparent.
The nice thing about the rather thick structure is that it does not easily spread and you can easily keep your nail edges neat.
A slightly strange smell
The varnish does have a very specific smell, but I also have that with UV resin. Sort of a polyester-like smell that disappears immediately upon curing. But I personally find this less disturbing than the smell of regular nail polish. And maybe it’s because I’m already used to the scent, but I don’t think it smells that strong.
Every gel polish naturally needs a good base and top coat that ensures that the color remains beautiful for longer.
In the photo on the left I used gel polish NR34 from Coscelia with base and top coat from VenaLisa.
I am very satisfied with the color and sparkle. Really beautiful! The other colors such as gold, red and black are also very good.
I haven’t tested every color on myself yet, but I do notice that no matter which color I test, I am always satisfied with it.
Some examples

All colors in a row
In the photo on the left you can see all the colors that come in the box of 20. You can also purchase a box of 10 or 40, but I chose the medium size.
You have more than enough colors to start and really value for money. I am allergic to regular nail polish and I can use this gel polish without getting swollen or painful fingers.
I’m not saying that no one can get an allergic reaction to this, you have to test this out for yourself, I just know that I’m fine with it.
