Brisa Bond question for science geeks

[dellaznailz]

Having passed my L&P masters yesterday( thought I might just slip a mention in :lol and still hyperactive I thought I might as well use my energy constructively and look at Brisa.

My question is; if Brisa is cross linking covalently bonding like Retention+ why do we need Brisa Bond?

Is it something to do with gels being oligomers or am I on completely the wrong track?

Liquid Bond improves adhesion by covalently bonding the gel to the nail :green:

Thanks hun, but thats my point, Brisa gel is cov. bonding any way so why the need for bond!?

Brisa Bond
WHAT IT IS:
An air dry bonding agent that permanently adheres gel enhancements to the natural nail.
WHAT IT DOES:
Forms powerful covalent bonds between gel enhancements and natural nails for superior adhesion.
WHY YOU NEED IT:
To prevent lifting.

Thanks, :hug:thats where I have been looking today but http://www.creativenaildesign.com/Tools-Support/PDF/Product-Profiles/PP-Brisa-Sculpting-Gels.pdf

shows sculpting gel to be covalent too so I still don't 'get' why the extra bond is needed or am I being dumb?

They covalently bond without using the Liquid Bond, but it helps adhesion when you use it. I've applied Brisa without it before (forgot to put it in my work bag) and worried (needlessly) that they would all lift, they were fine. I'm assuming (possibly wrongly lol) that if your prep is A1 it doesn't matter if you forget to use it, but it's better if you do use it?!?

This is a thread that I posted on a Super Science Weekend http://www.salongeek.com/nail-geek/52505-ssw-how-does-brisas-liquid-bond-work.html I've just read it again and my head still explodes when I read it! hope it helps :hug:

I really am guessing a bit here but I work on logic and this sounds right to me.

Gel is an oligomer not a monomer. Therefore the polymer chains are already there a little bit. A monomer has a chance to form good bonds. An oligomer has already formed some bonds. It may need a tiny bit of extra help.

It will still bond but the extra help makes up for the bonds already made

I had totally forgotten about that thread... and can't believe that SSW was over a year ago!!!

Maybe it's time for another one?!
