Marsha, Wont any 9 watt bulb work in the Brisa lamp, they fit into mine just fine. I got mine through either Nailiteinc or Premier nail source for about 6.95 each.

Brisa makes only regular gel. I took the OPI Axxium class a month ago.....it is a regular gel class, but they demo'd the soak off gel. And I bought one of the soak off gel polish kits. I am a Brisa user and have been using it since 2003. It works great for me. The only drawback, IMO, is the light. It works fine, but the replacement bulbs are $50.!!! I don't want to risk service breakdown if I use a regular tunnel lamp! There are lots of gels available. See how you like working with the Axxium and remember.....it's not easy to learn and master! That learning curve is there not matter what brand you use. When I started out, I was in a situation like you....no mentors.....I also found this group and have been here ever since! Good luck and keep up the search for information!! Marsha McDonald Rubino GIMME NAILS 37 Fifth St. E.

Is OPI a regular gel system? Do you like it? I am taking a class next month on the OPI and not sure if I should get that or the Brisa. I think I am also going to get a soakable too just to play around with. I am so grateful for this group. I am the only nail tech in a natural only nail salon so finding information or asking other nail techs is a problem for me. And the 2nd job I am getting doing gels at another salon, again I will be the only nail tech.

I don't think Brisa has come out with soakables. I am anxious to try the Nailite. All I have now is OPI! Marsha McDonald Rubino GIMME NAILS 37 Fifth St. E.

This was truly helpful to me. I only have one more question. What is brand is everyone using for the soakables? I went to the beauty supply store and asked if the Brisa was regular or soakable and they looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. They had NO idea what I was talking about.
