Well, I'll tell you! I've been a nail tech for 13 years but I tend bar also. OK, I'm brutal on my nails. I've been using Axxium gel polish for awhile with a primer but I really wanted to try Shellac, so I bought some and put it on a few days ago. So far it looks just like it did the first day and I love the fact there is no primer involved. I'm in water washing glasses, ripping beer from coolers, opening wine, I put my nail through the test and so far I love this product. I will say the strength factor is not as apparent but the flexibility is there. Ya know what is scary? This is so easy to apply! I mean that in a way that anyone could do it. That scares me a bit, I'm not trying to be negative, just realistic. Anyway, shellac has my vote. On that note, I've always loved CND polish but at some point they just seemed not to get creative (no pun intended) anymore and the selection became lack luster. I have bottles of CND that I have had forever and they are still awesome to use as far as thickness and ease of application unlike OPI that just gets old and thick quick. I'm not knocking OPI (too much) but the public is so brainwashed by the marketing of the polish that they think it is the best, me not so much, never have. Anyway, wow that is how I feel!!! I'm not going to try and scrape it off, it looks too good.

I have Gelish on 8 acrylic clients at this very moment. As well as IBD colored SOG on a few others - no problems. You know, when you want to know the goods about another company, just ask their competition.....lol She also says that Shellac can be scraped right off the nail at any time...... of course she's a GELISH rep - so I'm asking here, what do you all think? Someone try to scrape off your Shellac! -- Becky F. Licensed Nail Tech KC, Mo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
