Lynnette, So you think that the OPI is better than Nailite? I have 2 OPI colors--NRAW and Bubble Bath. Like I said, I just bought 9 of Nailite's. I hope I didn't waste my money on them. I peeled two off myself, I think it is because of the thickness. I have found thinner is better. Have you tried just using a clear SO gel for the top coat instead of the brush on SO topcoat (I bought that as well). Lisa

Lisa, Well for amazing shine that lasts, OPI has it going! I am going to try to pick up the French colors today after we drop Jaclynne off at the airport. My one client wants to go from russian navy to french!!! LOL. I hope she can soak it off at home! I am also thinking of selling a home removal kit or including it in the cost for the first time. I peeled off two nails of LPAD today. I rushed doing my right hand and it was not cured long enough. Nailite's colors are gorgeous. I just had trouble with the SO top shine.

Lynnette, Wow, I wish I read this post yesterday. I just ordered 9 colors of Nailite's SO gel polish. I too, have a hard time soaking off this stuff and I use the double bowl method with hot water. I have OPI's NRAW on my nails now. I am going to soak that off and see if it works easier...will let you know.

Rhonda, I am going to talk to Lisa about the not soaking off. We have been in touch about the top coat dulling. I have new bulbs and it did happen again. I wish I knew what the problem was/is. I am going to try to soak off the OPI from one nail in a few minutes. I am trying to get the house in somewhat of an order before the carpet goes in. I have dust EVERYWHERE!!

I just recently tried Nailite's Soak off Gel Polish along with their Gentle, Soak Off tackless sealer, first the sealer did not cure properly, all nails were dull. I filed half off, soaked in acetone for 45 minutes, nothing budged. I ended up having to file it all off of my own nails. Needless to say, I will NOT be offering this at this time. FWIW, I didn't use any primer with it, just based in gentle gel,, which is supposed to be soak off, as directed by Nailite.
