    Acrylic system advice

    Young Nails and Crystal Nails are also very good, if you are switching your products its also a good idea to do the conversion course, normally a one day course, as all products are very similar the mix ratio may differ slightly

    Help to find EZ flow grand oval 508

    I agree Graftons pricey but well worth it, don't buy from ebay or amazon as you don't know if it is genuine even though they say it is, and if you look after it properly it can last you years, been using mine for six years and still going strong
