I had a gel nail put on in Chicago and it's still on! The white part of the french is gone only because I'm in acetone every day. I'm still waiting on my gel from Star. I had an appointment today but had to cancel...

I did see it being shown in the VIP room we passed on Sunday. So, how does one get in the VIP room? I did get to see it along with Kira at LaShaun's salon. I just wanted it on my nails! Likes- goes on beautifully. In a bottle Cures pretty fast High shine CON- the removal pads. Although a great innovative idea, the cost is a turn-off for me. I cannot justify $3 a pack PER client when I only charge $5 more to do my no chip manicures. "Would-be" con- how much is wasted by being in a bottle. Not sure if CND is insisting on using their light, but I already have enough 9 watt lights and do not need another one. Star Nails Soak Off- Pro- pretty inexpensive for 23 colors and a light Ease of application Cons: No gel brush in kit No color chart No SO top coat****this is a very important step if you use SO No directions No white for french polish in deal kit Colors not consistent with labels-so time is wasted opening up for client to choose their color. I have had shrinkage with EVERY single client who has used a Star color. This is such a waste of time for me as I have to keep doing touch ups. On the nail that was done on me at the show: I wanted a French and it was done with a Cina pen. Glorified white out pen. Sorry Star gals-it started to come off in two days. AND- that is probably because of not having a SO top coat and regular top coat was used. One of the main reasons I want a SO for my clients is so that I do NOT have to use regular polish AT ALL. NO drying time!!!! The product started to peel 10 days after application. (I am scared now that my clients are all going to be calling that their product is peeling off!!!) Will write more later, but am getting ready to work!!
