Hey all

I would really like to know what gel(s) you use for your French Natural Overlays.

Also which white gel do you use? Is it paint on white or???

Just trying to see what else is out there that I can try!

Thanks! xx
 
Base with pink, then paint on white, then over the whole thing with clear. All Brisa products. Sorted!!!!!!!

Same here!
 
I use Akzentz buff off but thats because I haven't tried anything else. I'm sure that I will eventually switch to Options. x
 
Sorry, I answered this in the other thread you posted about this LOL - maybe you could close that one to stop doofuses like me having to answer twice LOL.

I only have 3 gel clients and they have Akzentz Trilite and POW.
 
Course kit has The edge gel products but would like to train with brisca when I qualify. The Edge aren't too bad, the white gel is more of an american white than french white. Still waiting to try their hollywood white.
 
I use Youngs Synergy Gel, base, flex or build snow and "Finish" gloss.
 
The two gels l use are:

Forze Elegance
Nailite

Forze has a creamy white builder, and a pow sharp white.. depending on your preference.
Nailite has a 'french pink' self leveller all in one, and a self levelling french white as well.

both lines are great depending on your needs or preferences.
 
I use Bio Sculpture, on clients but am trialling Akzentz options on myself at the mo.

Hi

Biosculpture all the way for me.
i like their white and also their blanc. Sealed with s-gel its perfect.
 
Hi - my first time at this - aargh!!

Anyway, I've just started with Bio Sculpture, which I like, but I do find the white can dry a bit patchy even after two coats and I end up 'messing' too long with the french finish.

PS. Love the site - it's answered so many questions for me through previous threads
 
I use Brisa,the pink,white,clear and I always finish with the young nails finish gloss(this is the best gloss for me)
 
hey girlies,
i'm a bit new too!
I'm trying nsi clear balance with x-treme white for french tip and blush pink i'm still practising (haven't finished NVQ yet) but my friends (and guinea pigs) like the look.
 
I use the Akztenz Gels. Bonding Gel, ultra white, then warm coverage pink up to smile line, then clear over the whole nail. Beautiful.
 
bio clear... bio white or akzentz white i find is nicer as its thinner and they do a nice creamy white....s gel ....

or

akzentz....affixit, bonder, natural pink, paint on white natural, top gloss pink...its a pink 'hue' not an opaque pink.

Have any of you buffed off your NNOs as yet? Is it easy to buff off?
