Maggie I hear what you're saying! I've been trying to find out what, exactly, is the difference between any of the brush on gels and the pot gels if they're all soakable polishes. I have quite a few Akzentz polishes that I like and am hesitant to get started on some new product just because it's new. I'm not an early adopter.
I hope both Gelish and Shellac will be at Premiere b/c I want to try them both and see what's so "revolutionary" about them.
