Removal of the mix is for all of my nail techs is under ten minutes. The removal of the new mani q colors (premix) is about 5-7 minutes. The reason the mani q colors soak off a bit faster is because it is a new technology to the industry. For the mix we are getting 20-25 minute application...

What she said!:lol:

you can use the mani q top coat on top of any enhancement. leave the surface of the enhancement slightly rough before application. And yes, your hybrid comment is correct. that is the point i was trying to make. :green:

Same here. I use their new base and top now that comes with their premixed colors also for the custom mix. With this new base coat, you can eliminate a few steps i mentioned way earlier in this thread. Now all you do is: 1. prep nails by lightly buffing the nails to remove the shine then apply...

Anytime! If you have any questions, PM me if you want. I dont mind. i honestly do not think adding the oil ill make much difference. now after the soak off and application I would use some cuticle oil and have her rub it in real good. but I dont like clients to have any lotion, or any oils of...

all good questions! I think I answered most of them in the previous few posts. But ok, even with the mix you will always need a nail tech. Just like with Shellac, Axxium, and harmony you need a nail tech. You need the tech for proper prep, application, and lamps for the cure. Its highly...

I agree. Why would anyone release a soak off gel and advertise that it can be mixed? Money is the answer. This way all these companies can release individual colors and sell them each for more than the clear soak off alone. So it would be ignorant to sell a mix when you can sell the public a...

Good questions. I have tried it but with the soak off sealant. I like the consistency of the sealant by itself, and mixed with polish its really not bad to apply. We were getting an average of 8-9 days with this combo before the color started to chip. Compared to actual nail polish, this is a...

I hope this technique works for you. the step by step i provided should be enough. if you have any more questions let me know. I did 8 mani q/ polish mixes on clients today in between some of my acrylic clients, some that have had it on since late March. It lasts 3 weeks or so on them between...

Geez, like I said, use what you want. I just put here what I know from experience. And again, as far as uncured gel goes, when I was testing Shellac, Harmony, Axxium and YN all of them at one time or another had a finger or two that left the gel lamps with uncured product. When there is color...

no explosions here. wont happen. and since it is not a full gel product, and a mix of polish and gel, just like shellac, there is no heat spike. and since there is a full cure of the clear base gel, there is a barrier between the mani q color mix and the nail, so IF there were any uncured gel...

The mani q gel can be used as both the base and top. However, the new mani q topcoat is formulated to be extremely shiny and dries very hard, while sometimes the mani q gel can feel a little rubbery. So, yes, it can be used as both, but I would try the actual topcoat, you will definitely be...

ok, ill help you. for the mani q and polish mix: first sand or buff the natural nails just enough to remove the shine. apply a layer of protein bond to the natural nail. apply a very thin layer of mani q gel to all ten nails. cure under 36 watt lamp for 2 minutes. remove sticky layer with...

Haha looks like someone fell into the Shellac craze a little to hard. Shellac may be the first gel/polish hybrid but that's just what it is. Gel and polish mixed. The mani q and polish mixture works well with a 50% ratio. And we are getting results up to 5 weeks with no chipping. It's mixed on...
