I am doing the same thing Jess is doing and having great results with no drying out issues or white spots anymore. If it is a new client or a one time occasion then I use the base that came with the system so it can be soaked off but I won't soak off every two weeks anymore.

I also had too many stress area cracks and people's nails curling in at the C curve horribly. I started doing a base layer of classic gel and then color - and efile off the color when they return. ALL the problems went away. I think Shellac is great for temporary use but for soaking so often I dont think its beneficial to the clients health of their nails. just my opinion ;) Jess On Mar 3, 10:10 am, Jill in Ky <jnai...@hotmail.com> wrote: > I just stocked up on acetone because our Sally's had it on sale for > $10 a gallon!
