Ok I will admitt that I did buy one bottle of this stuff, because I had a client that wanted a colour I didn't have with my other brand..she wanted it the next day so I had no time to order my usual.

Anyway..It's horrid lol..The brush is awful the hairs hardly spread out so going close to the cuticle is hard..(not impossible but hard)and it's texture is gloopy..I just didn't like it at all. I 'd save your money for something better

Hi I've been using various gel polishes for about 3 months now and did lots of research before investing in a brand.. I chose artistic however when gellux came out I was interested to try as the colour range appealed to me and obviously the cost can't be sniffed at, I use both brands along side each other with absolutely no problems at all my customers can't tell one from the other and tbh neither can I. I feel that all of the hybrid polish's are quite similar with the main difference being pricing. I find the brushes fine also maybe you got a bad bottle?? What a shame if so I'd give it another go... I am a complete snob when it comes to products I use on my clients and I have to say I've had flawless results with the gellux so far xx

Just to clarify. Shellac is the ONLY hybrid polish on the market. It is in a separate category.
Everything else are gel-polish which are thin gel in a bottle.

I have to say I really did not like shellac and thought it was really tough on nails x

I have just started using gellux and so far so good. Gellux is a hybrid between traditional nail polish and salon gels!
