I had to soak off L & P overlays on a new client today and it did not soak off like anything I have done before.
Her overlays were soooo thick I just couldnt believe it, the regrowth was almost halfway down her nail but the overlays held very firmly. I tried to file them first to get rid of some of the thickness and length before soaking. The length was fine but the thickness just didnt want to file down. What did come off was a much finer powder than what I usually get when filing product. When I did soak off the product it went all rubbery and gooey almost like glue, it took ages to come off and even then I am not 100% sure I got all of it off.
I have redone the overlays using Retention+ and they are much thinner and better looking and she was very pleased with them even though she seemed to be here forever!
Could this poduct have been MMA it just seemd so different to anything I have come accross and she did say her other nail tech came from the Philipines so maybe they are bringing in MMA products. She was quite surprised when I did PREP on her as they never did any PREP on her at all yet the overlays held firmly with no lifting at all.
Any ideas on this would be helpful for future reference.
