(I just refuse to pass up a client, so I had to master them also hee-hee) I believe that if the client's nailbeds are thin or damaged they will feel a heat spike more also.? You mentioned she removed her acrylic....did she pull it off? (bite, chew or pick??)? Good luck...I need more gel product...mine are like almost 3 years old now!!? Have to throw them away and start over ...so I think I might get a soak off gel...which one system do you all like?? (LOL..like we are all going to agree) ?Pati When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry...

I use NSI Balance gels and there is waaaay less heat spike. Most clients don't experience it at all. The newer gels (NSI Balance, Brisa) seem to have a chemical formulation that creates less heat, but yet you don't lose any of the bonding or curing ability. If you really load that product on there you will get more of a heat spike with the first layer of gel, although as Lynette says, some clients are just more sensitive to it. In those cases I go as thin as possible on the first layer. Tell the client to take her hands out of the light until it passes and then go back into the light.
