Strange that this Groupon deal is so short it is only running for the next 13 hrs. Also there is no address to get in touch with them on their website , only a returns address on Groupon. I thought that all websites had to legally carry the business address.
Groupons good deal!

Nothing more to add apart from.....I emailed The Geek this morning, to let him know that this company is using CND's success with Shellac to promote their own and the packaging etc is sailing blatantly close to the wind.
I thought it was important to say that he knows so that he doesn't get a thousand emails in his inbox the day before PB!!!

Lol that would be me! She keeps deleting everything I say though but it has put people off buying it. She still hasn't given me the list to the ingredients. I also commented on the girl who wants to add it to her mobile services and told her and that got deleted. I love shellac and am amazed by it and truly believe in the product so I feel I should stick up for it.
I'm just disgusting in the pros that are buying it. Hope they all get sued!!!!
ha ha nails it was you! i kept liking it! yes i have noticed they have all been deleted!! you do right to stick up for it im with you on that i also hope they get sued too!! good on you for putting things on there wall!xx
I have just looked at their website and they do appear to be breaking the law. Under European law a webshop must state:
If you are buying goods or services from a trader online, the trader has certain obligations towards you:
Information to be provided
Before the contract is made you have to be given the following specific information in a clear manner.
The Right to Cancel (Cooling-Off Period)
When you purchase online you have at least 7 working days to return the goods or withdraw from the service without having to give any reason or without incurring any penalty i.e. unlike when shopping on the high street, you can get a refund if you simply don't like the goods. You may however have to pay for the cost of returning the goods. The goods must be sent by you within 7 working days of the following:

Not sure why everyone's getting so exercised about it. Just let sweet squared know, sit back and wait for the Facebook page to be taken down.

Its only a matter of time that people will at home gel polishes and uv/led lamps. They wont use them.....How many of our clents have foot spas, rasps, files, etc etc thrown in the attic? yet they still go and get pedicures.
I came across one recently available in the US
The kit comes with an LED lamp,
I wouldnt get too stressed about it.
As Lynne said, we can buy the same ingredients as heston in the supermarket!

:lol:
haaa i have just put a thing on there facebook just to pee them off! told the woman wanting to use it mobile, why use that if your a pro you would use the real shellac! she has agreed and whoops they have deleted my comment, and also made it so i can not comment anymore haaaa!! x
Glad you started a thread here. Was shocked to see it on Groupon this morning.
Its not really surprise that competitors come up with the similar product all the time, but what really strikes this time that they actually copying the entire design and colour scheme, even some text used in advertising.
I think it should be reported to Groupon as well, because they are usually get involved preparing the advertising and working close with the company itself.
I suppose the page on Facebook can be reported as well.

If anything they will bring us more business after those aspiring home made nail techs start using it and ruining people's nails who will late knock on our door asking what can we do with their nails as they've been ruined 
Let's face it- no individually and reasonably thinking person would buy it!

Obviously nobody here is going to be buying... But I would also not be giving my continued support to distributors that retail products that I felt undercut my business.
There will be many immitators. Some will be very good, and probably at reduced costs. BUT the important thing is (I've said this before) to support companies that contribute positively to the industry and help us build successful businesses and careers. We know which companies devote resources into research and development of new products that make our job easier and make us money.

I think the company has got it up and out there amazingly quickly (poss
because they will be legally challenged soon!) Groupon, facebook , website, full range of similar named colours etc, i also think reading facebook resonses that their english is not quite right! Interesting that its come through the side door of Ireland lol
They certainly have covered every angle before release!
Not to worry it will all die down again im sure.
