I have recently purchased a new acrylic L&P system. I am a loyal CND girl and have only ever used CND but my new system is OPI Clarite because it is low odor. I am mobile and I wanted an acrylic system that would not be offensive to the other people in the households that I visit.
I have already purchased:
Bondex Original, OPI Clarite Monomer, Curing Resin, White, Pink and Clear Powder
I thought I had everything but when I went to review the steps in a video online, I found that Bond Aid was used. I didn't recall seeing that in the original literature when I made my list so I need to know if this is a necessary step. This system already has more components than I am accustomed to, I am meticulous about using the COMPLETE system of a product line and I want to get it right. I have long natural nails with a gel overlay so I am not able to trial it myself. I have a trainer hand to 'get to know' the product but it won't demonstrate the normal wear of acrylic. My neighbor might be a good trial but I'd like to give her the best possible service, wearability and product no matter what.
There is no training in my area from OPI. Things are a little different here in Canada with regards to training and I am properly trained and Certified in Acrylic L&P... just not this product.
My question is; Do I need Bond Aid in addition to Bondex? I trust that someone will point me in the right direction as to whether I need this product (or not) and why. Thanks a bunch!
