    Which gels?

    Switching gel brands, advice?

    I use biosculpture and love it, I did a conversion course with them in order to stock it. I do find that people are prepared to pay a little more for Bio, it is all I use now and the colour range is fantastic.

    LED Bio lifting

    Make sure that you apply the base gel and first colour coat thinner than you would for uv lamp. I love my led lamp now it is so much quicker and my clients get even longer out of their nails but it did take a bit of adjusting my application.
