    Shellac and Gel ll difference

    How long ago did you send your certificate over? Might be worth a quick call on Monday morning to get it set up if it's been a while as they've been incredibly busy with rolling out the new education programme, setting up the call centre and will soon be heading into show prep. Steph xx

    You are right the prices are very similar. Gel II bottles are 14ml so you get dpuble for your money. You'll get more services per bottle too so it's win win. Steph xx

    Shellac and Gel ll difference

    Shellac is a power polish where as Gel II is pure gel. Gel II requires no base coat and is LED cureable so service time is quicker. Gel II have a larger colour range and although very thin on the nail it's incredibly strong. Does that help? Steph xx

    Gel II pricing

    The majority of my clients could go 3 weeks. Some do and always did with my old system. Some only come once a month where as others still come every 2 weeks. They are all thrilled to bits about it's staying power and recommendations are flooding in. It's win win Steph xx

    Gel II pricing

    Because they cost more and with some I like to add a 3rd layer or I customise the look with different base colours. No one has questioned it yet, they are more than happy to pay the extra £3. Steph xx

    Gel II pricing

    I've just put my prices up and dropped my other line as it just wasn't being used but if I had kept it on I would have charged the same however I do charge £3 more for Reactions. Steph xx
