Re: NailTech:: Re: RE:well that is just great!!!/ gel getting thick?/

N pots don't evaporate. We don't need the solvents to thin out our formulas because they aren't in the bottles. If you smell it...there is solvents. If you don't...there likely isn't. Eco is 100% solvent free. They only change to our product, is if you inadvertently expose it to UV light.

Re: NailTech:: best SOG colours

ya agreed, it's the flat surface making contact against the bottom of the pot that is important. The toothpick is a point. You need to literally scrap anything off the bottom of the pot. I've got my own metal stir stick already on order. I made the head of it small enough that you all can slip
