Indigo Illumination Gel Polish #5 – Duochrome
This is #5 (Saturn), and it shifts from teal blue to a deep purple. This gel polish is NOT the soak off variety… it has to be filed off if you apply it by itself. If you use this polish I highly recommend wearing undies under it (use a soak off polish underneath). I applied Saturn over top of two coats of Gelish My Favorite Accessory.
These were purchased directly from Indigo as part of a large group order. Shipping to the states is rather high, so it’s helpful if you have other people to go in on an order with you.
Update: These polishes do not cure with some LED lamps, UV is the way to go.
OMG – I want this! It’s so beautiful! Why o why don’t I have all that soak off polish stuff… :(
What fun are the duochromes! Love what this does! Thanks for sharing!
This is so beautiful! I hate that it has to be filed off though. :( Is there anything similar that can be soaked off?
Not that I know of.
Did it file off easily? Sounds kind of risky to the nail.
I was able to soak it off because I put a soak-off color underneath.
Wow this is amazing! I wonder why you never post the other colors that you have,
Thanks for sharing :)
I ended up selling them before I even tried them because removal was too much of a pain.
Really? :s even with gelish underneath it?
Well thanks for the advice, cause i was thinking in buying them
It was easier with a soak-off base underneath, but still harder to remove than normal. If you don’t use a soak-off base this stuff has to be completely filed off. They are gorgeous polishes and worth it if you plan to wear them for a length of time. I just change my polish far too often to put up with the extra hassle. :)
Ok thanks for your time! Your page is amazing !!
Hi there,
Thanks for your amazing blog!
You said some led lights won’t cure these, do you know which?
I have a gelish 18g lamp (after reading your review!). Do you think this would work?
Thanks
Ali :)
I’m not sure – I don’t own these any more and didn’t test other lamps. I don’t think I owned my 18G yet when I wrote this :)
Ah thanks anyway :)
i see indigo in the web but they are so expensive for gel art brush
i want to get brush gel design to any suggestions … i buy some brushes on amazon but do not work wit gel polish
How much did these each polishes come out to in USD?
I don’t remember, it’s been a long time. We did get a discount because we did a large group purchase, but I think they were still a little pricey.
