Hey becky this was some much needed info for me, I'm looking to invest in a gel polish!!! I was leaning towards Eco because of the price point, however at the Dallas show I had Shellack applied and I luv it! Based on your comments the one that would best fit me & my clients would be either Shellack or Gelish!!! Which one offers the most colors, in Shellack I think that I have only seen 12 colors?? How many does gelish have? What's the best bang for my clients buck? & mine also? Chloe

Very similar to Shellac in viscosity - I used Gelish foundation and Top it Off so prep and removal will be like Gelish. The system requires a slight buff on the natural nail just like Gelish, but I don't know how it removes because I used Gelish's support products. LeChat's site says 3 min cure, but I did 2 min per layer and it's fine. I don't have time for 3 minute cures, so if a problem presents itself, LeChat will be eliminated from my lineup! So far I've used: Eco (Love you Elaine, but I hate the pot and severe shrinking no matter what I do) Axxium (hate, see above) Shellac (Love) <----winner for fastest and easiest removal PERIOD. Gelish (**Superstar favorite** because of color selection!) LeChat - decent! IBD Gel polish in pot (I don't hate this as much as Eco in the pot because the consistency is that of polish) I can't WAIT to try Eco in the bottle, I am SURE Elaine has listened and kept the viscosity of polish for us! I can tell you they have all worn really well, I have had some issues with white spots on clients but NEVER on myself, hmmm.....gee I wonder why? Maybe because I listen to my own instructions and USE SOLAR OIL? Ya think?! I have not had ANY shrinking/pull back issues with the gels in the bottles - I HAVE had issues with buckling, but PLAIN AND SIMPLE, it's because the product is too thick in that spot - no matter how many of you say "It's not too thick" until you're blue in the face - it's TOO THICK. Promise! I bet I have applied these products at least 200 times since May - my income has increased almost double and my clients are THRILLED with the results. I bet I have 10% in regular polish anymore.... my clients are either p/w or GP! JMHO! Bek -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
