Lynnette! The OPI gel polish system IS totally soakable.....from the base gel to the topcoat.....and I love the topcoat. I have always used IBD's Intense Seal and was really not expecting much from a soakable topcoat....but I AM IMPRESSED! I know how you love OPI!! ~tisk~ I intend to order some soakables from Nailite.....I love their regular gel! Marsha McDonald Rubino GIMME NAILS 37 Fifth St. E.

And Essie pedi opinions... Michelle, There really is not anything "better" than the other. It is a personal choice. I used to do only gels mainly to have no odor and to market that as also different from the chop shops. Gels ARE hard to master and it takes time. The only reason other than the odor is that you CAN do gels if someone calls and specifically asks for gels. It is better to know how to do it all rather than lose a client. In the end, I moved over to acrylic when I was introduced to Entity. I am hesitant to use the soak off gels because you need to use a gel first. To me that is an enhancement any way you look at it UNLESS you can go soakable all the way.

And Essie pedi opinions... 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!!!
