IBD Just Gel - 17-09-12, 12:41 PM

Hi All,

Currently a Gellux devotee, but am interested in trying IBD Just Gel as they have a great range of colours.

Quick question- do you need to buff the top layer off before soaking off with acetone?

xxxxxx

Hello, you do need to brake the seal with a buffer or 180 grit file. Do not overdo though, just make the topcoat matte. I hope that helped.

Apparently the IBD just gel and Ezflow trugel are made by the same company, if this is true I've been using the Ezflow trugel and it's SO nice! I bought two of the just gels too but haven't had chance to test it since I've been going crazy on the tru gels.

There is a dupe list you can check out https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...der=true&gid=3

It's easier for me to get the full supply of the ezflow here so that's why I've been using it over the ibd just gel.

I forgot to break the seal and did a 10 minute soak off last night, (trugel) came right off! Amazing product.

I am keen to try it too as the colours look lovely and it's great that they have a matching range of polishes now too at an affordable price. I use OPI but I am not keen on the colours and still have a bit of a problem with shrinkage.

Ibd are not tested on animals either which is great.
Is the only supplier grafto direct or are there other stockists?

If you guys can order from there, WWW.premiernailsource.com carries both. I love them. If I forget to buff, I have to re-soak though. Otherwise, great! Love the colors, and can get solid 3 weeks if need to on healthy nails.

Are you shaking it well before you use it?
