Okay. I understand all of that, but youi have to get them to do it!!! Also, why would it happen with ONLY the SO and not MY traditional gel, MMA and chop shop "gel?" This is a new thing. I would think MMA would have done it before the SO. HELP!! LOL Buenos dias, Lynnette http://www.facebook.com/nailtech Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile
