Elaine, I'm looking at the Calcium gel kit and it looks like there are forms with it. Can you extend the nail with the gel? Regarding the Primer Pen...do you have to cleanse the tip or is it considered sanitary to use on each client without doing anything with it after each one? Also, is the Kapping Sealer a UV cured topcoat? Michele

I'll give you a quick run down for what each is.Starlite family is your everyday basic one step gel system. (no builder or bonder gels just one gel). You can use it to do overlays on tips or even sculpt.Acrygel falls into the powder gel family. It has an appeal to techs switching from acrylics to gels. The powder adds more strength but also (and this is why I love it) keeps the gel kind of thicker so it doesn't self level into the skin unless you're slapping it on. Tip overlay and sculpt with this gel.T3 Fibergel is our #1 seller and kind of funny. We originally made it for adding a strip of fiberglass or silk (like fabric nails). However people missed the memo on that and assumed there was fiber in the gel and used it without the fabric. It was an instant hit (without fabric) and once people realized what they'd done it didn't matter. So you can use it with or without fabric and as a tip overlay or sculptCalcium Kapping gel is strictly for natural nail overlay. It's nice and thin so you wouldn't want to sculpt or do tip overlays. Just natural nail coverage. I used to offer manicure clients ONE free nail of kapping with a manicure. The great thing was because the polish never chips off the gel, the clients would always come back wanting a full overlay. It's the best, easiest way to promote the service.That's it.
