I always felt that if a client walked through my door and asked for any service (nail service that is
![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
) that I could perform that service for her.
I too think 'the look' of a beautifully applied CND permanent french is hard to beat, but not everyone wants that look. Do remember that CND has a beautifuil Perfect Soft White powder that is very natural looking for the client that doesn't wish to be so
obvious with her nail enhancements.

there are many choices with CND powders so you can offer a variety.
The strength of gels has been tested many times against Liquid & Powder systems and it has been proven that gel is not as strong ... but it is quite strong enough (depending on the gel of course) for most wearers.
I certainly agree that it is 'horses for courses' with different systems and they all have their pros and cons - overall, L&P seems to be the one that suits 99% of clients, which is why it is so popular. I have also found that the new wrap system Fabric# suits most nail wearers and it is the only wrap system in my opinion that actually looks like a L&P nail and has the strength to suit most wearers when it is applied with skill. :shock:
Gel is acrylic based, but you could not describe it as a pre-mixed acrylic if what you mean is that it is the same as L&P in a pre-mixed form. It is not. Most gels are urethane based which is quite different. It's just not that easy. If it were a pre-mixed L&P then it would have the same characteristics and would soak off easily etc. One day it may be possible.
Thanks for asking!
