Lynnette, We have had many bottles of one color or the other that were not the same coming from OPI. Besides getting so thick I think not matching the last batch is also what we have come to expect from them. HO HUM....anyway .... am glad to hear that the axxium is working well for you all am reluctant to spend $20 bucks for one little jar of that when I can get 3 bigger jars for the same price from Nailite. I know they dont have brand recognition especially for the color names. Nothing creative going on there. I know you have used them also is Axxium better, easier, longer last, anything??? i am just wondering. I love to comparison shop vicariously through all of you wonderful stuff junkies. <LOL> Like I'm not one too.

I have three bottles of Hawaiian Orchid; first coat goes on a pinky opaque a,d the second pulls a purple opaque. The SOG is soooooo sheer. ALL the SO axxium are sheer. Now the darks are pretty cool. I love the LPAD; the Strawberry Margarita is true to the polish. Let's see how the four new colors fare.

Especially the dark colors it is amazing how much they separate and get thick in the bottom. I was just given of the NSI balance gels with glitter in (Rock Star Collection) they are so thick in the bottom I had trouble stirring, but once they were stirred they were great. Not as great as our Rock Star nails from scratch<LOL> but ... The spatulas are the best I got them like ten years ago when I took my first IBD class and had the first gel polishes. I just looked and they are listed with the gel accessories In Buynail for $5.25 I bet you could get something like them at AC Moore's art dep even cheeper. And Lynnette, I have a bottle of Hawaiian Orchid polish and it is very sheer. A bit of pinky/purple but very sheer. used it for french's a lot back in the day. just FYI Dawn [email protected] Lancaster,PA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, Feb 20, 2010 6:01 pm Subject: Re: NailTech:: Soak off Gels Krystle, Thanks for the help, but I do stir them. I have two packets of toothpicks by my table for that reason. They just not are the same. The :Hawaiian Orchid should be pretty purply and it is way too sheer!! My clients are still using them anyway.

I noticed that you find the axxium sog colors not true to the polishes and I was just wondering if you stirred the gels before you applied them? I found when I first started using the sogs that I would need many coats but when I used a toothpick and gave the gel a good mixing, making sure to get right to the bottom, I would only need the recommended 2 coats. I think that sometimes the gels "settle" when not used for a while and they separate therefore needing a stir.
