NSI or CND??

[sophie..]

Hiya, i use nsi products but have noticed that quite a few of the threads on here are about cnd products, after having a look into these, im wondering if anyone else has worked with nsi aswell as cnd and what do yo thinkto it? i dont have any problems with it but just wanted to see what anybody else thought. im doing my minx training next week so will get more familiar with the products/systems etc then..

thanks

Hello!
I used Nsi Balance Gel for a couple of years and found it ok but did get a few lifting probs that used to frustrate me. I now use CND Brisa Gel and haven't looked back. I still use the Nsi coloured Gels and these are really popular with my clients but I found the shades for creating natural looking nails a little limiting.
I love the Nsi endurance files too as they last for ages.
Good luck with your course xx

Hi,
I used to be NSI through and through L&P, Gels but I joined this site and have since converted to cnd.
I still use the technail colours for nail art and the endurance files as previously mentioned but everything else is CND.
The BRiSA gel is so much better than balance gel, which I found hard to work with as it was too runny, I had lifting also with it, but now god forbid I have had clients go for 7-8 weeks with no lifting or service breakdown at all.
The L&p Is the same no lifting an amazing choice of natural looking CB powders and of course the amazing support of sweet squared.
I cannot recomend them enough.
If you want quality products, superior knowledge then CND all the way.
This is just my opinion.

They do a "Try me kit" i think...give one of the distributors (Sweet Squared are one) a call and see if they can send you one.

i use nsi l&p and gel and have done for years.i did get a try me kit from cnd and did quite like the product.i thought about converting to cnd but i never went through with it as i realised i was only going to change because there are more people on here that use cnd than nsi so it wasnt really a good enough reason for me to convert as i wasnt having any problems so as the saying goes "if it aint broke,why fix it?" .

Im trained in Nsi L&P and also Cnd L&P (Nsi gel too)
If i was aked to choose just the one system i dont think i could as i love working with both and i have a regular client base for both systems too.
I like to think im blessed to be able to use either as it gives me more options...i have a few clients who cant get along with cnd and vice versa so its good i have a choice to offer HTH:hug:

I switched from NSI to CND and ALL of my clients like it better and so do I. My lifting issues have disappered and my enhancements last a lot longer. I wish I had switched sooner.

Im sure many tehnicians are very successful with NSI but I could never resolve my lifting issues with it.

Hi I use NSI and CND and must admit I am so glad I did the conversion love the CND, infills and rebalances are so much easier as CND just blends in so easy no chasing the line lol and I have had no lifting with CND, the product is lovely to work with a lot easier to file, I do love the NSI files though, I was going to do the Brisa Conversion but I use IBD and have no problems with it so going to stick with IBD for gels

Hi, Ive done all my training with CND but at the moment Im at college doing my level 3 in nail services and we are using NSI. In my opinion CND is far superior in all areas. It may be because im so used to CND products but I just cant get to grips with NSI products (especially the tips) and even resort to using my CND tips in college as the NSI ones are so damned thick. I think that if your not having any problems with NSI maybe stick with them but im sure that if you did research CND products/training you would definately not be disappointed and Im sure their products could make your life easier.
