    Cats eyes gel polish

    Is it also true for BioSculpture? They have cats eye effect gel polish and it's development by their chemist.

    It's basically almost a hard gel so use it over their Brisa gel could be an option

    Luminary or Light Elegance?

    I use Light Elegance P+ and JimmyGel. I love it. Honestly it's one of the most supportive and educational brands I've come across. Their JimmyGel is a soak off but it is very tough and can be thought of as almost a hard gel. Use with tack and it's on clients nails for weeks. Of course always...

    Thinking of changing brand

    Their P+ range is all soak off gel polish and really high quality pigment, so I use them most of the time, especially on clients with thinner nails. The colours in the pots are all hard gel, so have to be filed off, and I use them on occasion (mostly the Buttercreams) for art

    Thinking of changing brand

    Lecente would be a fine choice. I personally use Light Elegance, but I am a fan of Ikoniq and CND. All of those are high quality brands with their own chemists who stand behind their products.

    UV gel running

    I know it's super frustrating. Watching others do it with the brand I use has helped me with practise. Work fast and accurately. Flash cure and learn to manipulate the gel to your doing. Also. I'm dirt poor. Living off disability benefits and debt. So when I started my nail career, I couldn't...

    Light Elegance P+ polish

    They're highly pigmented and glide on easily. I trust the brand and have learned a lot about nail product chemistry through their chemist Jim, their JimmyGel named after him

    Bio Sculpture vs The Gel Bottle?

    Out of the two, Bio Sculpture. It has decades of research, testing, support and community behind them. Whilst I don't use the system myself, it is highly recommended by nail technicians who have shown their nails stand the test of time and more importantly, their clients rarely develop an...

    Dangers of "Russian Manicure"

    Whilst the aesthetic of this method is unimportant to myself, it is something that clients ask for repeatedly, even after educating them that it is a risk I am unwilling to take due to inexperience and lack of training in this type of dry manicure. I will continue to read up on it from trusted...

    Gel polish brands, which to choose?

    Light Elegance, Akzentz and Lécente are all professional only and research driven brands who work with chemists. I feel much more secure in my profession if I am using a brand that has high quality ingredients and performance as their first concerns. I hope you find that brand that speaks to you.
