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... |

Thanks Amber, I was really stuck, but I think now I will purchase some soak off gels too. They will work alongside my other gels, so I will use the product I feel is right for each particular clients needs.
You have explained it so well, I will use the soak off for overlays on already nice length nails. Continue with hard gels to sculpt with. Thanks Hun x |

Just had a read through, and loved it. I use Bio Sculpture at the moment I love the wide range of colours, but do have people ask if I can do extensions. I can do L&P and have just booked a skill builder, but I'm not brilliant at it, and I think if after this skill builder I'm still not brilliant then I'll look into the Brisa, so I can still offer enhancements. This article was really helpful thanks so much x

This is a fantastic article that explains it all so clearly! A great help for newbies! I wish it could have been laid down in black & white (& red!) like that when I started.

Thanks for all the above really helpful.
Just wanted to be clear on one thing tho - are Brisa gels a no no when it comes to natural nail overlay? I'm a nail technician starting out and have been caught between bio and brisa but can't yet afford to train in both, so was hoping for an alrounder if there was such a thing, just to start out with before doing further training |

Hi Amber, that was very useful! I was hoping you could answer a few more questions for me?
I've just started a home learning course in gel nails and was wondering which system you would recommend: 1. CND Brisa 2. NSI Balance Gels 3. Entity One Gel 4. ibd Soak Off Gels (are these the soft gels you mentioned?) Also, I was wondering if you can mix and match 3 phase gels, or if you start with brisa you need to complete the other phases with brisa? Plus do all hard gels need to be filed off or can you buy any that soak off but are still hard? Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate any help you can offer! Cheers, Jen |

Soft gels are soak off, they soak off with product remover or acetone. When you had 'gel' applied did the technician dip the brush into liquid before dipping it into the powder? |
