Hi Debi, I don't know if anyone has answered you yet. There is regular gel polish that does not soak off and has to be filed off. It also is applied over gel or acrylic. I don't like using it over acrylic but some do have good luck with it. Just not me. Then there is sog (soak off gel). You can use this kind off gel on the natural nail and soak it off with acetone. You can also use it over your gels and acrylics, but then you just file it off. Sog is more flexible then the regular traditional gel. When you use a sog on the natural nail it needs to be flexible so it can bend or flex with your nail so it does not crack.
It took me quite a long time to understand all the different types of gels. It can be overwhelming. I learned all about it right here on this list. Hope this helps.

Does the polish on come in colors, ie could you do a french with it on a natural nail? Do you need to soak off the gel polish and re-apply? OR is the gel polish something you use as a gel overlay? (I know very little about gel and am in the midst of broadening my knowledge, so go easy on me) ~debi~ 631.678.7126 [email protected] ToTheEnd4Me -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
