I have never seriously used CND ac. I believe you can adjust the liquid/powder ratio to suit your purposes, with Entity. I would work with it drier, if you think that would help. Try it and see. I must confess here. I am a gel tech. If I ever go back to using ac, though, it will be using Entity. I miss using it!

Do you think Entity would be stronger if used dryer? I have used CND for so long that I automatically use the same liquid to powder ratio that I am use to with CND. Have you used both of these acrylics?

Could be as simple as that. I felt as you do, Entity is easy to file. It compares to filing gel in my opinion. It is said that gel's strength is in it's flexibility, which means to me that gel is not as hard as ac. Depending on how my clients use their hands, I sometimes have to add a bit of gel thickness in the stress area to ensure that the gel doesn't crack under the client's normal use of their hands. I think that's where Entity's ac is similar to gel, so I would treat it as though it were gel. I wouldn't mix CND powder with Entity liquid.

I love the feel of the ac. It is so smooth and easy to file, but I have been having some issues with breaks or cracks that I did not with CND. Seems to crack in the middle of the nail all the way across. Which is can be very painful and even crack the natural nail. I hardly ever seen this with CND. I know a lot of you use Entity. Do you have any ideas of what I am doing wrong? I am starting to think it is just not as strong and with winter here they will crack easier. I have purchased a large amount of Entity liquid and need to buy some more powder. I am considering going back to CND and using their powder with Entity liquid until it is used up. I can't waste it. Please tell me your opinions on this, I would appreciate any help.
