I've been using Options by Akzentz for a few years now. I started out with their pink and clear soak-off gels for overlays under Trilite (a one step traditional gel that does not soak off). I use the coloured ones at school and teach my students to do nail art with them. One of these days I'll have to post some pictures of their work. My only gripe with soak-off gel is that every one that I've ever tried so far has been really rubbery and bendy. I'd love to see something with more strength.
