Hi All,
I'm really struggling to make a decision here so I'd love some input from you lot, especially if any of you have tried off of the above...
I qualified several years ago but for a variety of reasons gave up doing nails altogether. I sold ALL of my equipment. Every last thing.
I'm now starting up again, doing mobile, and for the time being just offering manicures and gel polish, but I'm really struggling to choose a brand.
I'm currently using Maddisons Unique Gel which I really like but they are cheap and not well known and I know nothing about it's origins which I don't like so it has always been my intention, once I have some funds under my belt to switch to a more premium brand.
In my past life I used Artistic Colour Gloss but I'm not feeling drawn to use that again.
Gelish, I'm drawn to the huge colour range and the fact that fans are really devoted.
Shellac, I'm drawn by reputation, but put off by tales of lamps being dodgy and the fact it's not always great for clients who are heavy handed (I have some clients who use their hands a lot for their work).
IBD, I'm just feeling a buzz from this site about this range but I don't know much about it, other than I am trained in IBD acrylics so I trust the brand.
But I've literally spent days going over and over this and I'm struggling to make a decision. I'm not a salon, I don't want to stock two brands, and couldn't afford to at this point in time anyway, so I'm a bit scared about making a mistake!
Advice?!
