I am a complete Gelish addict. Too many problems with Shellac but JMO. The threads on here re them all should give you a balanced view. Well almost !! The thing to bear in mind is to read the comments from people who are not affiliated in any way with any particular product and who use them day to day. Worked for me xx
As a technician:Whoa....
Stock supply the only problem with Shellac.???...hmmmmm bubbles forming...black spots....lids not working...thickness at bottom of bottles..very poor colour choice. If you had not quoted me I would not have felt the need to defend myself !
To be honest you have done nothing but diss Gelish..leave it out of a post re Gelack and Gelish..Insult the Educators.....question the LED lamp...blame every problem on the nail tech..not the product.
I know what MY clients ask for.
Yes I expect this will get deleted and me barred but what else could we expect ??

hi,
i am someone who has weak nails (though the beautician said i was not in her bad category lol), my nails tend to split and generally break, particularly my right index and middle finger.
i heard about shellac from said beautician and gave it a try. i liked that it was not thick like acrylics and would not damage my nails.
i read an article where one woman showed terribly pitted shellac nails and thought she was some kind of....that was day three.
by day four i had my first chip. i thought one chip, suck it up. the next day, watering the garden i got potting mix between my nail and the shellac, and it just got worse. becuase it was christmas (and they couldn't fit me in until day 9), by the time i went in for a redo, i had a chip or fault on every finger.
the techs reapplied new shellac and it looked great. by that evening, i got my first chip. one of the techs had hers on for 3 weeks and counting, while the other lost 3 the first night. i will be trying to go for gelish or something else and doing it myself. i figure if i do have trouble, i can fix it. shellac does protect your nails. i've had very little damage, but it has meant repairs daily to free edges- on virtually every nail.
Me personally find it false economy as with shellac you only need it applied thin but I found with gellish it needed 3 colour coats sometimes as the viscosity was alot diffrent not as creamy as shellac.
I never have trouble with mine going cloggy as prev poster said but that said I work quick when you work slower this can sometimes effect the structure of your product as it's exposed to uv light and solvents are escaping from that open bottle , you gotta work quick.
SHELLAC ROCKS
