Both companies have good reputations.

LCN have been around allot longer and have a much larger product choice too.

I had a LCN Gel french manicure gel overlay done using paper forms in Abu Dhabi when I was on holiday, reluctantly actually because I have always been an Creative Nails Acrylic girl, but I was very impressed and totally converted! However I have not used BioSculpture. The thing is LCN is sooo good, I dont know why I would want to risk trying BioSculpture.

The consistency of LCN is brilliant, the durability, no lifting, no chipping or breaking and they take impact really well! I can play netball, even with my nails really long because LCN is soooo strong!

Only downside for me is the fact there is only one place in bristol that uses LCN. I got them done at the Sheraton Hotel in Abu Dhabi and the technical skill and attention to detail of the technician has spoilt me because they really did strive for perfection and I havent found anyone as good here.

I would love to have your details if u decide to work with LCN and are freelance because I would like to continue using LCN but get the neat polished attention to detail that I am used to. Also do you work with paper forms, rather than acrylic tips???

In Canada I am very familiar with both brands. LCN is what my fiance' originally learned 18 years ago. Seems to be alright. A while back they changed their formulas on their gel and my girl doesn't like it anymore but don't let that deter you, every tech likes different systems for different reasons. Bio sculpt is fairly new here. The techs using it really like it. I have had a growing number of clients who are starting not to like it, as it doesn't seem to last that long and you can't really do fills but have to soak off and do a new full set. I have also heard from a few techs that the soak off product is very strong and can produce inhalation hazards. One tech actually had to go to the hospital for treatment. Some other good ones are NSi which I am sure you know and INT is good, also Amore' is becoming very popular here. You can google them all and check them out.
