I was trained using OPI Axxium gel which is a self levelling gel. (Trained is probably too much, played with is probably more like it.) I am currently using CND Retention L&P which I think I am finally getting the hang off. I wanted to practice gels before I start looking for a job. Ideally I would like to stick with the same brand but the Brisa gel looks really thick and not self-levelling. Also the colour range seems rather limited with the 6 bolds and 3 shimmers compared to all the pretty axxium colours. Should I go with what I know and have two different brands with all their prep etc.? Everyone seems so keen on Brisa, does lack of colours not matter so much? Another strong contester is synergy by ezflow. Again because of all the pretty colours. I know it depends on each person but I really can't make my mind up. I guess I would mostly do NNOs or french sculpting/tips but hope I can play with colours in a salon. Your input would be great.
