Don't invest in the CND starter kit!
If you have become allergic to the product, you will probably be allergic to ALL gel and acrylic nail products. Hypoallergenic means nothing, it's just a term used for marketing purposes.
Before spending lots of money buying new product kits, have a trial of shellac, gelish, or whichever you fancy at a good nail salon who use all the correct branded products. If your fingers don't start itching, great, you can invest in that product range. If they do, then you will have to wave bye bye to a career in Nail enhancements.
I've been there, bought the T'shirt etc. and had to sell my extensive collection of Gelish, OPI plus LED lamps at a huge loss to a trainee nail tech.
BTW, if you have developed an allergy, the itchy finger tips is just the start. I tried different products, the itching got much worse until my face swelled...Very Dangerous!
That's sad ,
And enough to turn anyone into a sceptic but I will say I have a reaction to Gelish and after that several others that are probably the same stuff in a different label (that happens a lot gelish , red carpet , artistic color gloss . Same thing different label there's others to , they just come to mind)
CND Shellac is NOT. It is original ,
And to be honest I DON NOT BLAME gelish completely for the reaction . I honestly think it was some how down to the LED lamp , of course I can't prove that , but you know most techs I know of whom have built that reaction have been using the LED lamps . Seems offten with an extension plug with a bunch of other things also plugged in to just saying ,
I have always been conscious of over exposure , i dont mix systems , i use correct products properly .
I used shellac the whole time before ,and still used it beside gelish and after. (gelish was for more color options at the time shellac was very new like I said each color separately formulated so it took them a while to fill demand and add colors . )
Even while my reaction was flaring up I still had clients and did not build a reaction to Shellac . Says something doesn't it? .
When people say its the same . Clearly it is NOT .
Anyway I am 100% fine with CND Shellac.and Brisa lite and Brisa gel and to the CND liquids and powders witch Ive used for years to.
I am not silly and i can understand that some companies probably do throw around hypoallergenic as a market ploy ,
Maybe even making you buy there full system to,
CND could(and in some country's do) charge a ton more for there products !
if they wanted to get rich quick they could get richer a lot quicker than selling there lamps. .
CND are science based they are innovative and work hard to formulate there products if they use the word hypoallergenic then they mean it!
This is why other "brands" <--- loosely using that word , try to jump on the band wagon and use words like Shellac .
It's probably worth the risk of copying and making money out of the people who know no better .or the non pros who can't buy the real thing .
CND try to keep it to us the professional nail tech . Is that a market ploy to?
I have faith in them . I would only use there products the way that they say you shuld . There products are different and that needs to be understood .
Professional products used by trained professionals, in a professional manor . Why is that such a hard concept for so many ?
