Please use the search facility and look up bluesky and CCO (carbon copy of) shellac. You will see that other pro brands such as gelish and OPI are not considered inferior whereas non-pro products such as Bluesky and CCO are.Im gonna run the risk of sounding like a complete thicky here, but bear with me, i am an amature that does my own nails and have been thinking about investing a uv cured gel polish nail system. i am also looking to
qualify next year with some level of technical qualification in nail care, now thwt my kids are a bit older and i have the time.
would one of you mind please explaining to a complete novice (& idiot) why the bluesky, and i assume other brands such as Gelish, are so inferior and CND so much better? Also, why there is a problem with their use of the word "shellac" which i have researched and is actually not a brand name, but is a word that dates back as far as 3000 years and discribes various thinned lac materials including the material old 78rpm records were originally made of.
I dont mean to sound arsey, I really would like to understand the benefits of CND as a superior brand against those that appear to be more cost effective. thanks xxxxxx

Cool - thank you for the pointer ;-) like i said, a complete novice and ahdnt even had a good trawl thru the site yet to see what i can find out. (i only joined at 1am this morning lol).
would any of you recommend one professional uv cured gel polish system over another? or is is pretty unanimous that CND is the only one worth having?

No CND is not the only one worth having. I use Gelish alongside my shellac. I love both. There are loads of fab gel polishes out there.
Have a little look at old threads and I would narrow my options down, then maybe get a mani in your top 2/3 or go to olympia and get each finger done in your chosen ones and see which ones you prefer.

Will you all get over this 'Power Polish' nonsense! It is simply a marketing term.
Shellac is a type of Gel as it contains a form of acrylates. These are found in ALL acrylics & Gel polishes but not in ordinary nail varnish.
Some clients can become highly allergic to this form of enhancement and you risk their health by trying to convince clients otherwise.
Just read the MSDS sheets of all your products if you remain unconvinced.
Cheers. x
I think you need to educate them on the fact products should be purchased through a legitimate supplier as well. This photo was on a nail group I belong to on facebook. At first glance this looks like genuine CND Shellac, but it isn't! Can you see why?

Wow they're good copies...the only thing I notice is the names of the colours?! Is there something else? Xx
