Any advice would be appreciated.
I'm starting out as a gel nail tech with a view to doing nail art too, but not acrylics. From reading past threads I have shortlisted CND Shellac, CJelP and Ikoniq but am open to other recommendations!
Ikoniq Prima Gels claim to be a true gel polish as opposed to a hybrid - I'm assuming the benefit of this is more hypoallergenic compared to hybrids... and it is good for nail art too as it is a one-coat application which I presume cuts down on time.
C Jel P, by CJP - this seems to get good reviews by some on this site. Is it a true gel or a hybrid as there is very little information on their website.
CND Shellac - what are the pros and cons of this being a hybrid gel polish compared to true gel polishes. I've read that you apply more than one thin coat as opposed to a single thick coat so it looks more natural. How do the longevity compare? There seem to be several threads about tricky application, wrinkling etc - is this a genuine issue or just more practice required as it applies differently to thicker gels?
So - any advice or comparisons of the above brands with regards to application and removal, longevity customer service and using it for nail art too?
Thank you.
