    Polygel curing question

    Some clients were sceptical about it at first but if you do decide to introduce polygel to the salon do an introductory offer on it , make them aware that if they don’t like it after their 3 weeks that you can convert them back to acrylic but I garentee they will stick with it it’s much stronger...

    CJP acrylic or?

    there is no smell from the product at all . However the slip solution has a very very mild watermelon smell to it but you can only smell it if your up really close to it. But it is nothing at all like the smell of L&P xx

    Polygel curing question

    I’m not sure of the name of it but it’s a black 36w LED lamp , if you go onto Sally’s website it should pop up they only sell a few different ones and it’s the only black one it’s a good little lamp but any 36w lamp should cure it , even cure it twice then use a hard tool to tap on it to be sure...

    CJP acrylic or?

    Honestly I would highly consider Gelish polygel I have been using it from it launched last year and it has completely took over our salon the nail techs and clients LOVE IT. It’s much easier to apply and use than acrylic, it’s also much much quicker to do we can do 2 sets of polygel in almost...
