One reason I like using gels is that they are so easy to file and doing a backfill is a snap. Doing a backfill in acrylic is way too much work. But I am confused by your question, Michelle.....you say you have been using gel since school.......is it you feel you haven't mastered them yet and are you asking....is it worth the effort? Plus, although they are becoming more widely available, for many years, it was hard for clients to find someone who did gels....at least in my area. I wanted to fill that need.

And Essie pedi opinions... oh. and I suppose I should add this... I've used gel since nail school. I have used Vibrato, OPI Microbond, IBD (including gel polish), and currently use Brisa. I have used over tips, natural nails, tried to sculpt, builder white, paint on white... I am not new at this... really.... LOL! OK, now let me have it ladies!

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2009, 11:35 PM Hey ladies. Ok, 2 questions... 1.) Has anyone tried the Essie pedicure line? My co-worker just bought an intro kit and I am interested to hear any input y'all have... 2.) Can you girls who do gels AND acrylics (or have in the past done both) explain to me why go with gel instead of acrylic? Other than odor, I get that part. But for example, we do lots of acrylic in the salon I work in, so there would be no reason to do gels to keep smell away. Seriously, I just watched the tutorial videos at gelessentialz.com and it looks like lots of work to me compared to sculpting acrylic!!! LOL... somebody... anybody... help me understand!!! :) I hear y'all talk about gels, and it fascinates me, but I just can't figure out why I would want to master them personally! Sell me, girls!!!
