Hi Maggie! A client like that can really be trying. There is only so much you can tell them then their ears will just shut down, but the head may continue to bob up and down! I have an article at the web site that explains the differences between the types of gels - it needs a little bit

I think that the new IBD Just Gel line is a LED line. I saw it in Nailpro magazine. Katherine St. Louis, MO Sent from my iPad On Nov 12, 2011, at 1:30 PM, Sherri Evans wrote: > I noticed in my last nails or nailpro IBD is offering a new "just gel" in a > bottle. They already had a gel polis

I gave up on changing their minds as well - AND I say the same thing "You should be a nail tech" Hahaha I also teach them how to remove at home because most of my clients combine coffee and lunch breaks to see me and still sit there on their iPhones conducting business meetings. Such is the way wh

*I noticed in my last nails or nailpro IBD is offering a new "just gel" in a bottle. They already had a gel polish in a bottle. I think everybody and their brother has some version or another of gel polish or hybrid or whatever they want to call it. I've tried Shellac, Gelish and the one from N

Oh gel polishes, the saga continues. So here is what I know about gel polishes, and why. As many know, I work with Akzentz. It's based out of Canada and makes every jar of gel themselves (as opposed to buying from a manufacturer and re-labeling as SO many do). Because of this, they are a bit b
