Oh... and I use Shellac base and top with all of the other colors I have tried. No buffing the nail, no top filing to remove and wears fine....

I have to say my favorite is Shellac. I find it easiest to apply and certainly easiest to remove. However...I also really like Gelish, with Eco coming in third. I love the Eco colors, but just can't seem to get the application down so that the darker colors apply evenly. The Gelish colors are awesome as well, but I seem to struggle with the removal, even after etching the TIO. Tho I like Shellac the best, the color offerings are just boring, even with layering. So... there's no one perfect system. HTH Debbie in VA On Mon, Nov 29, 2010 at 7:10 PM, Becky <[email protected]> wrote: I've used several brands, Gelish is my favorite, followed by Shellac.. I can zip over Gelish with my efile, then wrap and have it off in about 10 min total. >On Nov 29, 2010 4:03 PM, "Anna Z-James" <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> My experience with Shellac has been much better then with the other SOG >>products thus far I purchased a few EZ Flow thinking that I'd love it cause I >>love love love their acrylic but I put one on just before thanksgiving and >>already I have cracks and 1 whole index missing...The base is super easy to >>apply however even after I flash it for the 2 minutes it's still rather runny >>and the color runs away from the cuticle area and hard to get on the free >>edge. >> >> I also purchased Geleration and didn't like it at all not to mention that >> you >>have to crack the seal just before removal which in my book defeats the >>purpose >>of a natural nail service?? >> >> I have heard great things about the Gelish but haven't tried it and to quite >>honest I really can't afford to keep buying products that don't work for me >>or >>my clients! >> >> >> >> >> Anna > >> Creations by Anna Z-James >> www.annazjames.com >> >> >> >> >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [email protected] >> To: [email protected] >> Sent: Mon, Nov 29, 2010 1:23 pm >> Subject: NailTech:: Comparing Shellac and Gelish & Is Shellac Base/Top Coat >>Still Hard to Find? >> >> >> >> Good Afternoon My Friends, >> >> I gave up trying to get the Shellac top & base coat and was wondering if it >> is >>still hard to get? >> >> Also, I love,love,love my Gelish product for so many reasons.. however.. it >> has >>not turned out to be the >> quick removal and re-application that I had hoped for.
