Hi everyone, I normally use soak off gel, however one client I recently used brisa gel on. She came for a fill 3 weeks later, all nails were perfect, no lifting, chips cracks, etc., I was thrilled! So I did her fill, and a few days later, her right hand had some lifting and one popped...

Hi ladies, Question: I thought I've heard some people put gel over minx nails to help them last longer. If so, what is the process and how long will they last? What gel do you use overtop? Also, do you have to purchase the minx lamp? Thanks!! Terri

Hi ladies, A few months ago I purchased the new Crystal lamp from Calgel and wondered if anyone else has tried it. It is a cool light, whatever that means, but it seems to cure all gels I've used wonderfully. THe best part is you never have to change the bulbs. It is a bit pricey for sure...

Hi ladies, I have read in past posts about techs having problems with OPI axxium soak off gels (breaking nails etc). Does anyone still have problems? I have been using it only a short while and they seem great, especially for one client who needs a harder gel, harder than bio. Thanks, Terri

Hi all, This is a small company I believe and just in the US, but has anyone heard or tried these gels? Have heard wonderful things about them. Every coat flash cures for a few seconds only, then the final coat cures for 3 or 4 min. They are not a soak off gel. The other interesting...

Hi all, I have 2 questions; number one, does anyone else agree that some soak off gels are harder than other soak off gels? For example I love biosculpture and use it but one client prefers OPI axxium soak off and it definately feels harder than biosculpture. I've heard bio is coming out...

Hi all, I have a question. I've been using lechat nobility mostly with success. However I have had a few issues with the french. i've made sure my bulbs are all new and fine in my lamp. Not sure if these are teething problems and have already asked angelfingers questions. My problem...

Hi geeks, Has anyone ever tried using the brisa pow on a calgel french? I know you're not really supposed to mix gels like that really, but I tried it and it seems to work really well (so far). This way the white really stays white and doesn't discolor. Plus I like the way the brisa pow...

Hi ladies, I just wanted to let you know that I came across a pretty cool idea for calgel french and I wanted to share it with you all. If you mix color 02 (clear pink gel) with some "ice" gel, it look beautiful over french. I actually mixed a few scoops of the ice into my pot of 02 and mixed...

Hi all, I have a question. I first started my training with gels using brisa. I live in the midwest in the USA so not only has not many people even hard of gel nails here, most haven't even heard of Brisa. Aside from that, in using the brisa I've had so many problems with lifting on...

I've been reading about it and hear good things about Young Nails. I currently use Calgel and love it, but always checking out new things.....What do you guys think? Terri
