Maureen,
I have had it on for two weeks and it is great. However, it really
doesn't add strength like a gel overlay. It took me a minute to get
used to that. To me, Shellac is hardly thicker than regular polish.
I don't know how far away from me you are (I'm in Warsaw) but you are
welcome to trek on over and try before you buy.

I used gels 20 years ago when they were new and I didn't like it
then and I am not sure that the product is any better now.

No, I am not buffing. It works very well. Rhonda posted this
suggestion awhile back, that is why I tried it.

Lisa, your not buffing? You are applying your color gel right on top
of a slick shiney surface?

I was using a dry brush to wipe tacky layer from the gel base and
did not like the results. I have been removing the layer with a
shop towel and alcohol. I have had no problems with shrinkage or
having the color stay on.

Ange and Diana,
I am sure everyone will chime in but I only have a minute.
I do not wipe off the tacky layer. That was suggested, but I just do
not want to do that.
Someone else suggested taking your gel brush and wiping to remove
the shiny dispersion. I am using a bursh that I wipe on my lint
free. NO wet cleanse- just a bit tacky.
It still leaves the nail tacky and ther is no shrinking. Well, there
is a small amount, but nothing major.
I would not use polish on top of tacky, but polish does stay on it.
When I am doing SOG, I want NO polish. It will eventually peel, but
it is okay if you apply more depending on how much abuse the nails
take.
Gotta' run......
Buenos dias,
Lynnette

Diana,
I wiped off last night before I applied the gel color.I think it was
Lynnette that said she does this and it keeps it from pulling back.
Then I got nervous about putting it on a shiney surface so I buffed
it first, then gel polished. I would think it wouldn't hurt to use
your uv topcoat over a sticky surface. The reason I would think it
would work is because they say you can use a sticky primer on the
natural nail before reg polish.
My head is spinning with all this sog talk, but I think we are all
figuring it out together. I only have two sog manicure clients and
I don't want anymore until I get this figured out. Time is a
problem. It is taking me way to long. I am listening to all the
advice from this list. Thanks everyone, I would be lost without you
guys.

okay, we have always been told that gel does not like shiny surfaces.
So when you apply your sog gel polish,do you wipe off the tacky
layer from the base gel coat or not?
When applying gel top coat over the colored sog gel polish, do you
wipe off the tacky layer from this or not?
And can u apply regular uv top coat over sog gel polish? If you do,
again, do you wipe off the tacky layer or not?
So many things going on with this sog thread, trying to narrow this
down. Or maybe it is a certain product question. Thanks diana from
