Getting Confused with all these Gels

[tarnygirl1]

Can you all help, there are so many gel suppliers out there and im doing a gel course with essential nails but i keep hearing L&P, IBD, Creative, etc.

What do you all think is really good gel to use or is it just down to practice and preference?

Also coloured gels soak off or no?

Any help would be good

Have a read of this fab article by Minkus ... you'll find it's a great place to start for gel info:

L & P is an abbreviation for Liquid & Powder...or you may understand it as Acrylic, but as Gel is also an acrylic it is correct to say Liquid & Powder rather than Acrylic (if you see what I mean) - Gel is Gel and Liquid & Powder is Liquid & Powder - 2 different systems.
Creative and Ibd are different brands/companies just like Essential Nails is a company...EN use the 'Dream' brand of products. There are so many different products out there and different brands of product, if you have already started with EN learning the Gel system then I would say...stick with what you have...learn it...complete it then maybe look into doing a conversion class with another company...or carry on with EN going through the different courses if that is what you would like to do....at some point it will do you good to go into a classroom tho and try other products out too x
