Great idea on the visit to the yoga studio! I have been using OPI Axxium Gel because I got it in a trial kit with something else I needed so it was cheep-cheep... My toes have been on for 4 weeks, They are just as shiny and stuck as they were the day I did them... and these were my first attempt! I don't do gels and this has worked great... little product equals little overhead... :) They are really thin so I don't anticipate a problem filing them when I fill... doing it this week so I'll let ya know. Regular Axxium is not soakable.... but they do make a soak off one,

I started out using Brisa, did not like the results (with glitter). Tried Akzentz Options and I like that. Also tried Mani Q and like that equally as well. Options has an extra 'Opti Bond' base (plus primer), which is fine and believe me I really like the product...YET, I've had some really good results from the YN Mani Q and I'm only using 1 product (plus primer). Seems a little more cost effective to me. At one point I did try a NON soakable gloss over the top of the Akzentz but as someone pointed out... you kind of defeat the purpose of the 'soakable' option since you have to file it off. I also cut my soaking/removal time if I have LESS to remove (or soak off with acetone) Both the Akzentz and the Mani Q hold a nice gloss after a week to 2 weeks.

Like I said both products have worked well for me to this point. But for cost purposes I'm leaning towards the "Mani Q"


Hope this helps
