What is the difference between Overlay Gel / Shellac / Gelish Gel?
How long does each last on:
Finger Nails?
Toe Nails?

I haven't started training yet
A Gel overlay, is just that, an overlay of gel on a natural nail, no tips or lengthening of the nail. A soak off or a hard buff off gel can be used to do overlays. This would be part of the training in any Gel system. Maintenance appointments would be required every 2 to 3 weeks and that procedure should also be covered in any training course.
Shellac is a power polish not a gel, and is like a polish that cures in UV light, there are loads of threads on here about it so I won't say any more. You would need training in manicures in order to purchase it but also doing the Shellac training is advised.
Gelish is a gel polish, ou also need manicure training to purchase and training in its use is also advised.
Both Shellac and Gelish and any Gel polish last 2 to 3 weeks then if removed and redone.
I hope this answers your questions, I take it you are doing some research before you enter the world of nails
