I haven't use Nailite's soakables on natural nails yet but the girl I work with borrowed one of mine and used it with her Akzents base n gloss and it worked fine. She also said the she removed the tacky from the base and lightly filed before applying the color. Nailite sent me a soakable clear to try under the gel polish. Haven't tried it yet though. You should call them and ask for a sample. They don't have very good instructions. Angie Wingerter

I'm using the gel polish from Nailite and they don't say anything on their site about using a clear base gel first. I did use the YN protein bond first and it shrank like crazy anyhow.

No shrinking and it doesn't effect the soak off.

HELP!!! I've tried gel polish on two clients today and couldn't charge either one if them because it was such a damn nightmare applying it to natural nails!!! This crap shrinks away from the sides and free edge before I have a chance to lift my brush from the product. I had intended to polish one nail, flash it and do a nail on the other hand. Well forget it. I would do one nail and by the time she got her hand in the lamp it had already shrunk. Thank God I decided on a soft launch before adding it to my website/ menu. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
