Sheryl,
I just ordered the whole shebang yesterday at the cosmoprof show. Do
you think this can be used with traditional gels also. Maybe with a no tack
sealer on it? I realize that's not what it's marketed for but since I will
have it, I know someone will want it. 99.9% of my clients wear traditional
gels. Just curious what your thoughts are or if there is any one on the list
who may know.

Hello All,
Just to pre qualify myself for those who don’t know or don’t remember me
on this list, I have been here for a long time. I have worked and Educated
for Manufacturers, and I have worked with several Gels. This is My Opinion
on the differences I see.
The “No Chip Manicure” are buzz words that have been around for more than
5 years now most recently used to promote SOG. This has been a Misleading
Misnomer. Meaning it was the improper use of a term to get you and your
clients to give it a try. There was no “Manicure” about it except, the prep
work needed before applying and enhancement. They were all other forms of
Enhancement and the terminology was advertizing “Buzz Words” to make the
client who did NOT Want Enhancements, be Enticed to give it a try. The End
Product was always much thinker and heavier than we and the client really
wanted. The removal was a problem, as has been discussed on this list and
many times, and it did effect the natural nail.
Shellac is a Hybrid engineered to be a form of UV Polish. In My Humble
Opinion it is the first TRUE “No Chip Manicure” to hit the market. There is
no Comparison between IT and SOG. One is an Apple and the other a
Watermelon. It is in a bottle and applies like polish. The only difference
is that while one hand is being Polished, the other is in the light curing.
It takes no longer to apply than a GOOD Polish Job IMHO. It is not a 5
minute “slap it on” process, don’t misunderstand. You want good even THIN
coats . It does NOT look heavy like SOG, it does NOT look like and
Enhancement. The solid colors are solid on the first coat and the sheers are
beautiful. It is self leveling and does hide some imperfections in the nail
surface. Talk about an easy French?? You’ve got it here. It looks like a
beautiful well applied manicure. Clean up around the edges? Simple. The
first 12 colors released cover a broad range and I can’t wait to see what
the next release will be.
There is NO Buffing on the nail surface what so ever. So of all the
products I have seen this one will Not damage the Natural Nail. I
particularly liked the soak off process. Ten minutes, the client can read
or what ever, not tied to a smelly bowl. I like the pads and can see them
being purchased for other SOG people are currently using. I Myself will try
them on AC as well. They are Self Warming. I am trying not to give away too
much because with any new product you really need to take the class and SEE
how it is done. We are Visual Learners in this industry and I suggest you go
and see it done properly by a CND Educator who can answer any question you
might have.
There is No Comparison between Shellac and SOG. I think this product will
change the way” Everyone Who Tries It” will do business. This may be the
beginning of “The End” of Traditional Manicures as we know them. It is THAT
different. BTW I do not now nor have I ever had any affiliation with CND.
