Lynnette, I charge 25, been doing this for a year now, and have switched clients over to this vs ac. I kind of wish I could switch everyone over, (but can't) because the "fills" are so darn easy and fast.
I have picked up several new clients with this also, I call it a soft gel manicure. I also have a couple of nurses that are wearing this, because they say, hey its not ac, and there is no lifting. I use the clear right now, and the nurses prefer the clear because it looks like clear nail polish. Clients come in 2 week, 3 week, 4 weeks and even 5 weeks for a "fill". I offer this to clients that have length to their nails, but crack, peel and break. Also I can add polish if I buff the soft gel, so the polish will last as long as ac. I have not gotten into the colored gels, even though I have several. Just getting all the different colors is impossible because of the price. Also right now I like the texture of the soak off gels vs the colored gel. Just don't know yet. Wear do you get the drops? sounds interesting. thanks diana from indiana At 11:49 AM 11/21/2009, you wrote: >Hey everyone! >Two weeks ago I was visiting my daughter in Chicago.
