Le Chat

[lilly]

hi all,
can anyone advise me on using Le chat products? is the nobility strong enough to use over tips ? when i tip i use acrygel but find it sooo hard to soak off, it seems to take ages and as I'm used to using calgel i find this frustrating. I love calgel its lovely for nno's but to build a strong enough apex for tips and a good strong tipped nail i use more gel and calgel is really expensive, oh another question do you use a gel brush with Le chat or is it in a varnish type of bottle ( only going by what i have seen on the web site !)

yes it is strong enough for over tips.
the clear comes in a polish style bottle [though you can pour a little into a pot if you prefer to use it thatway with your own choice of brush ]and the colours come in a pot to brush on.
theres some examples and tutorials on my sites[see below]

thanks for your reply, i have just a quick look and it looks really good, i'm confused as i have only used gel that looks like the nobility pink and white on your tuts and nothing like the clear in the varnish type bottle, can you still build an apex with this ??? sorry for all the questions

yes,its quite easy, i do 2 thin layers, curing between each then on the next layer, put a thin coat on and then add a 'spine' with extra gel down the centre of the nail. i do this layer one nail at a time and freeze cure so that the gel doesnt run and holds the shape. its thick enough to hold the shape, but fluid enough to self level. it files easily if you need to perfect.
i would think that if you use calgel, you will have no problems as all the same principles apply. if you are more comfortable with a traditional application just put a little bit in an empty pot and use it with your brush.

i'm going to order ! do you think i need to order the complete starter kit ?
i would really like to see a demo of any soak off's you have, do you do roadshows or demo days ?

AngelFingers is right - this gel is great!!

I used it on a tricky client over a week ago, and she is thrilled with the results. She told me that she likes it even better than her regular Calgel! Definately a hit for me!

NOBILITY all the way!

ok now it's my turn to make a dump question!
What does "nno" stand for?
I'm sure I know it in my native language but I haven't figured it out in english yet!
:smack:

Thank you Susan!
:hug:
I figured that one word would be "nail" (obviously!) but now everything is clear to me!

hi, i'm ready to do another order ! can you tell me which are nobilitys most popular colours ?

 

[angel fingers]

pomagranate, a soft red.
sweet truffle, a lovely autumnal colour
and gala ball which is a beautiful magenta.

dont forget you can also mix colours together to acheive new shades.
mixing with a light shade gives you a whole new colour range.
details of some suitable pots in my post on the bio sculpture social group.

Ditto to what Susan said, plus..

For P&Ws, also get Ballerina Pink and Cream as they are great colours for zones 2&3..... And a White obviously!
