A gel is a gel isnt it?

Well wouldnt it be nice if only it were that easy?

You've got ...
one phase gels - one gel does the job of bonder, builder and gloss layer
three phase gels - you have a different gel for each job of bonder, builder and gloss...

nailite gels

Hi
I was just reading your brilliant post and wondered if you've heard of Nailite
They are in the US but you can order online and the prices are great. The gels are great to work with, at least I think so. They have a great range of products and are really helpful.
One other thing I was wondering if you could help with. I'm quite new to the Nails industry and have seen L & P mentioned a lot. This is probably a stupid question but what does it stand for?
thanks for your help.
Cath

Smile Great stuff

Great read! You explained it so quickly and simply. I actually asked this question of a trainer the other day who wouldn't answer it cause she couldn't talk about other product lines!!! So well done for helping all of us techs who work in real world and need names and companies etc!

I've just finished a nail tech course in all 3 systems. When i've had my nails done in the past my therapist applied clear L&P and then she applied a french gel over...what type of gel would you apply over L&P or should this not be done? My lecturer said i could use the gel that we were given in our course but Im in South Africa and the gel we were given is a local product so not sure if its a hard or soft gel... i think its a hard gel. The result is not desirable so i was thinking of buying another make but im not sure what would be best???
Please advise as i just did a full set for one of my case studies and i was really satisfied with my tip application (my client was a seriously bad nail biter) and my L&P application was great but once i applied the gel i was really upset with the result
Many Thanks!!!!

Redface

hi guys, i am new to this forum and new to nails. Have just bought the brisa system but not as yet watched the video. Have done five sets so far and look rather good but could be better but struggled with the clear tips, sculpting the white and it being to thick. You mention that brisa are a strong gel, roughley how long would you say if applied correctly should they last , any great tips, good extensions to use with the gel, gosh i have got loads of questions to ask.
