The "Mixing brands" issue, from my understanding, is *mostly* ( understanding that there are some different instances) is reserved for liquid & powder. I can not speak about wrap products as I have never really used them. You do not want to mix liquid & powder from 2 different manufacturers.
There are many nail cleansers, dehydrators and primers ( acid & non- acid) that can be interchanged. I still believe that you should always pay attention to what the manufacturer recommends. Now for (traditional gel NOT - shellac & Gelish) GEL: I'm always happy to learn nuggets of info and I invite any contrary info here but I'm not looking for a manufacturers fed answer because they want to sell more of their product. Each layer of gel is cured in separate layers (minus the dispersion layer) and so you can use 12 separate layers of gel from different manufacturers each cured separately and you are technically not "mixing brands". Am I correct in this ? This has always been my understanding as One of my mentors long,long ago was Barb Wetzel ( Nailsplash) Now this new type of gel... Because Shellac & Gelish ARE different animals... Not sure about this one ??? Ok, let's discuss ! I'm looking forward to the responses :) ~Kimberly Lesser~ http://www.couturenailboutique.com Award-winning Nail Technician Articles and opinions published in industry magazines National & International Competitor Salon Nail Department Trainer and Mentor Inta Member AEFM Trained Creative Nail Design "Grand Master" 2000-2002 EZ Flow "Master Artist" Educator 2006 & 2007 Entity Competition Team Member 2006 & 2007 Entity Advantage Education Team Member -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
