I love the clear overlay gel. It's probably my favorite in the whole OPI soak off line lol. I put it on clients by itself (just base and top around it). They love it. And if you have clients that can't get regular buff off gel or acrylic to stick, this will. It's like rubber, it almost never lifts, but has quite a lot of strength. I love Shellac, it's my favorite product, but on myself, I am just not careful enough to have it last in all the acetone for me. So I usually wear the Axxium clear, and it stand up to it a lot better because of the acetone-resistant top coat. I love a clear nail, what can I say? I don't have to worry about manky looking color, they just always look good.
