What range is the best for gel polish?
Although , one of the other ladies on here did say to me when I asked before that its usually best to buy a couple from each range as some people may have problems with some gels that other may not . ( I did attempt shellac - although yes I know its not a gel - but I just couldn't get it to stay on for more than a week without chipping at the free edge ! )
I think getting a few and having a play around with them is definatly worth it x
I would have to contradict this advice and indeed strongly advise against doing this. Each gel polish line will have a slightly different curing spectrum which will only be satisfied by using the correct lamp. Also not all UV polishes can be cured in both UV and LED. If you don't use the lamp which is recommended by the polish manufacturer then you cannot guarantee a full cure. Without a full cure not only will you get service breakdown such as peeling and chipping but you are also exposing your clients to the risk of developing either a sensitivity or allergy to undercured product, and in turn you are then opening yourself up to an insurance claim and being sued. If you don't use the correct lamp any insurance will be invalidated and costs would have to be covered by yourself. Not worth it I don't think.
I have just gone onto there website as I fancy trying these but everything is out of stock . Is it always like this ?? It's putting me offI've found the gel bottle inc to be really good! And the colours they have are amazing!
Don't take my word for it. Have you heard of Doug Schoon? He is the leading INDEPENDENT industry scientist who has written many articles on this topic and explains why it is so important. I suggest you read up on the science behind how gel products safely cure.I have tried many different brands over the years and never ever used the brands lamp and never had any issues. I personally think this is rubbish who could actually afford to keep changing lamps everytime they tried a different product

Thank you for the insight on the insurance front though - i wasn't aware that not using the correct lamp with the individual system would invalidate the claim . ( Something that wasnt explained during training from what I remember.) x
