Hey guys, can anyone tell me what gel powder is? Just curious as a salon in my town does it and I've never heard of it before x
I know! I know!
This is the stuff the NSS use when they tell their clients they're having gel but they're applying L&P. I've told clients until I'm blue in the face that if they've dipped a brush in liquid and then powder it IS NOT GEL!!!!
:irked:
In fact, allot of the discount salons/nail bars call the L&P system they use Powder Gel, because that is the brand name they buy ... They don't necessarily call it Powder Gel to hoodwink customers ... Powder Gel is the brand name on the bottle.Le chat's system is a little weird. The gel is in a polish-like bottle. You brush on the gel and scoop the powder over it (shaking off the excess) and then cure. Sounds easy, but there's a reason why it's not popular. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the service Emilyx saw is just l&p that's been decanted into label-less pots with the words "gel powder" scribbled on it with a sharpie. It's nothing new. NSS do it all the time, and it's been discussed here quite a few times.

Nail bars are not all NSS either and they shouldn't be labeled that way. Sorry to sound sharp, but it irks me, when I know so many talented South East Asian nail technicians who are dedicated to their work and who are well educated and have very high standards, to hear people generally refer to any SEA salon as NSS and to make assumptions about what they might use!! Its insulting and It's wrong.
