I wonder why your experiment did not work, Karen. I mixed my color on Friday and it is still in the jar because I made a tad too much. It is perfectly fine-did not harden at all. Just the perfect consistency. Not sheer at all. I was given this tip from a very well respected tech who has been doing this for quite some time and has had no problems. She should come forward and take the credit. This was not my idea, I just ran with it. It makes PERFECT sense for clients who wear the same color that is not made in any of the SO lines. If it is done on a palette, there is no waste. I knew my old Entity jars would come in handy for something!! It stores the mixed colors perfectly! Too bad it did not work for you. I am so glad I was given this tip. Buenos dias, Lynnette Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

We found that to get intensity of color you had to add quite a bit of polish and that compromised the strength of the gel. Also, remember that polish has evaporants in it and it will cause the whole pot you've mixed to thicken as it sits open. They did not keep well in the gel pots I used, either. And you can only mess with the product on the nail for a limited time before it starts to harden. I decided mixing them myself was not worthwhile. Maybe there's some value in this for a specific purpose (perfectly matching that bride's maid dress?) but not for me on a daily basis.
