I am getting things set up in my salon, trying 2 decide which brand of nails 2 go with. I am leaning towards gel nails, because of the odor that comes with AC nails. I am not understanding the difference between soakable gels & gel nails. It appears to be a lot of curing going on. I have yet to attend a class, but plan to do so before any major purchases take place. I recently bought out a portion from a salon that no longer was going to have nails. With the buy out I got supplies. One of them was a Brisa lamp, as she did CND gels I believe. So any help narrowing down which gels would be appreciated! My thoughts are to try 2 starter kits from different companies, & go from there. I wish I could find a nail tech in my area, doesn't appear to be ANY! (Sigh) Thanks for your time.

I haven't even begun to start packing for orlando! lol ;) Dull is typically only one off a few things; under cured, over cured (more than 3 minutes, it starts to dull - but this is rare), bulbs need changed, wipe tacky off with acetone or a product containing acetone. I do gel polish first and then soak nails, do exfoliates and lotions. Nothing should be dulling them. Were they super shiny before you put the lotion on or did you not notice? (sometimes if your pedi room isn't really lit bright its hard to tell if you aren't looking for it). If everyone else's feet have been turning out fine, and its just this one set, you probably used acetone on accident when you went to wipe the dispersion layer, I've done it before, its a pain! If they were shiny when you left its gotta be something on her end. I've not heard of baby oil dulling the nails but I can check with the head office to see if they have. -Jess LuvNailz On May 30, 9:35 am, [email protected] wrote: > I guess I should be asking Gina or Tammy this question...
