Bonnie,
It can be applied over traditional Gels or AC but must be filed off. I actually applied it over a hand with traditional Gels and a naked thumb.

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.

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.
