I bought the brisa smoothing kit. And used the top coat when I ran out of my shellac top coat. It worked perfectly for me, had no probs. I also noticed that brisa top coat doesn't go thick as quick as shellac top coat.

I've thought about using this too... My shellac top cost goes so thick ... I shake like crazy and make sure it's warmed if cold.... But finding it's effecting my finished result..
Have you had any problems at all using the smoothing gel over shellac? I'm sure it wouldn't be encouraged by CND, but if it works ?!? Maybe an emergency option!! I've had to order new shellac top coat , as the end of bottle just too thick ..😩
so while waiting may use that to tide me over..

I don't use the gel on top of shellac, but the brisa lite smoothing top coat. Of course people will say its not recommended and all, but it works for me. Never had any problems. Good luck

Well BLTC it is nowhere near as shiny as Shellac Top Coat and as none of these products is expensive I can't see why you would use the wrong top coat over Shellac .. just short-changing your clients but hey ho.
We use the BL Smoothing gel under Shellac if the client needs a little extra strength but we mainly use it for clients who need the strength of Shellac but want to buy Vinylux to use at home. We certainly paid for the bottle in no time.
@ ellabella What are you doing to make your Shellac Top Coat go thick ... ? It will only go thick if you have the bottle open for ages .. so polish your Shellac top coat on quickly ... there is no need to take ages to apply it. If you take ages to apply your BL Top coat it will thicken up too.
