Orders
Are the stated prices including VAT?
Yes, all prices mentioned on our consumer webshop include VAT.
Ik wil graag mijn btw verleggen, hoe werkt dat?
Btw verleggen is mogelijk bij zakelijke bestellingen die vanuit Nederland naar een ander EU-land worden verzonden. De klant moet een geldig btw-identificatienummer uit dat EU-land hebben.
Hiervoor dien je bij de checkout:
- Een EU-land te kiezen;
- Een bezorgadres opgeven in hetzelfde EU-land als het btw-nummer;
- Een geldig buitenlands btw-identificatienummer opgeven.
Wij controleren of het opgegeven btw-identificatienummer geldig is. Na een succesvolle controle kan de bestelling zonder Nederlandse btw worden verwerkt en ontvangt u een factuur met de vermelding btw verlegd.

Do your products comply with the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009?
Yes. All products are manufactured in accordance with this regulation and meet the requirements set within the EU.
Is Bluesky gel polish free from HEMA and Di-HEMA?
Yes. Bluesky gel polish is HEMA and Di-HEMA free and complies with EU regulations.

Yes. Do you have any questions about ingredients or allergies? Please feel free to contact our customer service. We are happy to help you via: +31243220165
What does “TPO” mean and why is this important?
TPO is not on the permitted list of UV filters or additives for cosmetics within the EU according to the Cosmetic Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. The European Commission considers TPO to be a potentially reprotoxic substance (C.M.R. category 2). This means that it may pose a risk to fertility or the unborn child. Therefore, the use of TPO is not permitted in nail products sold as cosmetics in the EU.
What do manufacturers use instead of TPO?
Many European manufacturers use alternative photoinitiators, such as:
- Benzoyl peroxide
- Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (TPO-L) — only permitted if it meets safety assessments
Does Bluesky comply with EU regulations regarding UV photoinitiators?
Yes. Bluesky gel polish complies with EU regulations and the required approvals.
Is Bluesky gel polish safe and responsible to use?
Bluesky strives for safe and responsible products: sustainable beauty without compromise, with a focus on compliance with EU requirements and safety testing.
