Pati, This particular client that I am speaking of has a long nail bed and extremely short nails. In her case it is the stress point and natural play in the nail I am speaking of. I probably caused some confusion by talking about the length of the nail vs the free edge. This may be a

NailTech:: gelish vs eco, top shine/new lesson

well, I also learned a hard lesson. I like the idea of Eco just adding 60 second fast dry top coat (out the door). If I have been running behind (CHEAP BULBS), I would just add my out the door, and out the door they went. they were dry!! But with Gelish, It doesn't work, it doesn't cure

Try it again with good bulbs. Gelish Top it Off leaves a wonderful shine. Also, the second coat of color doesn't have to cure the full two mins. It will continue to cure through the clear topitoff. I can do a complete sog svc in 45 mins. Sent from my iPod On Sep 3, 2010, at 8:15 AM, Diana

I buy my bulbs from Atlanta Light Bulb.  Great quality and great customer service (price is right of course).  These are the numbers for the bulbs on the site CF9DS/BL350.  Great... highly recommend.  Don't know the exact web address but just search for Atlanta Light Bulb and you will find it.

Have you tried using Eco by itself? I dropped my color wheel that I have Eco on and one of the colors popped off and it is very flexible. You can roll it and bend it without any cracks or tearing. I am going to try putting Shellac, Gelish and Eco on wax paper and cure to see if they are all

Pati, I have a client that does very well with Eco but Gelish chips on her. Gelish is working great for others so it could be that Eco is more flexible and that is what she needs. Is her nails soft and bendable?   Angie Wingerter From: Pati nailg...@aim.com

I just got my Eco in but honestly I was afraid to have her try it! OK so she came in today and I got to look at it... It was NOT peeling like it had the other times...I think the PB by YN helped that issue... it did chip off at the free edge on 2 (3?) nails... but I did notice..and pointed

Hi, Ruby! Doug Schoon's book has a great section explaining this- if you don't have his book yet, it is well worth the investment! It can be prep (not properly for your brand), mix ratio (too wet leaves too much liquid to evaporate, causing the acrylic to shrink up and pop up in the middle),
