help with soak off gels

[bassett520]

I'm not a professional but have had LCN nails for years. The lady I had doing my nails has retired and I thought I might try my own nails.
Looked at lots of forums and I think that I want to go with Calgel or IBD soak off.
Trouble is I can't find a Calgel uv lamp anywhere. Can I use an IBD instead?

Also is soak off not the way to go? It seems easy enough for a non-professional.

on this forum we always advise people to get professional training before attempting to do yours or anyone elses nails.

could you not find a new technician in your area?
