OPI Gel Nail Polish

[heatherp]

Hi Guys
Hope you can help me.
Ive just completed my training in Fibreglass and Acrylic nails using NSI Attraction. Doing lots of practising and getting on well.
I've heard about gel nail polishes but I don't have alot of knowledge in the products available. Am I correct in assuming that Gel polishes could be offered as part of a mani/pedi and clients would be happy with the fact of knowing their polish would probably last round to their next mani/pedi or are these polishes
only used as part of nail enhancements.
I asked my tutor last week but she said something about being told
OPI ones can only be used as part of a dry mani/pedi and Im not sure this would work for me.
I'm thinking that Gel polishes would really replace the need for doing overlays on alot of clients once their nails grew to a satisfactory length
Have I got it all wrong?????
( sorry for all the mumbling guys)

OPI coloured gel is a gel not a polish but it doesn't have the strength of a full enhancement, so it's like permanent nail polish. In my experience it does add some strength to the natural nail and the colour stays until the next appt. It needs maintaining like any enhancement system and cannot be removed by the client with polish remover.
