I have a few other Soak Offs as well I have tried my hardest not to mix the products so that I know they are working the way they are supposed to I purchased 3 colors and the top and base from Gelez and hated it I was so disappointed cause I love EZ FLow products (could have been cause I used to educate for them).
I have recently purchased 2 colors of the Gellish and I have to say so far I love it but I haven't removed it from anyone yet, my biggest thing right now is that I do not compromise the natural nail and keep with the less abrasive factor of the soak off polishes, cause then it really only defeats the purpose of doing a natural nail service (to me anyways). I have to say that I have all but 1 color of the Shellac and continuelly stick with it even though it thickens terribly and I have to shake my arm off just for it to work properly but I do still love it the best...I have gone against suggestion and been warming it on a candle warmer to ease my pain and suffering so that it applies smoother and faster too. With regard to the Minx...I researched it years ago (3 years) and found that at the time they did not have any training on application only sent you a cd to watch and didn't have much in the way of support, they wanted you to purchase the kit that only consisted of a lamp and a few foil packages for over $400 at that time. They don't last very long and I really did not want to put out much money for an item I would have clients coming back within a few days wanting their money back or monoplizing my books for repairs. I really didn't see where it was going to be cost effective to even try it. I have heard of a few other companies out there that do VERY simular as Minx...continue to research and see what will be most effective cost wise and client wise...Remember those that like what's hip and in style are very picky, flighty and not very stable with their time management so if you like those clients in your chair then BUY IT...if not leave it where it lies! Best of luck! Happy New Years!

And the hybrid of course is Shellac. ( still p.o.'d about them getting rid of my favorite u.v. top coat used it for EVERYONE! ) Light Ellagance Nail Bliss Gelacquer - Christrio Gelac - Ibd Gelify -Nail light Gelez - Ez flow Perfect match - Lechat Cacee has one Eco - Star nail Axxium - opi Geleration- jessica Gellish - Harmony NSI Bio sculpture Mani-q- young nails Gelousy Shellac CND I have 3 of these in my mani room, Shellac, Gelousy, and Eco. I have to say the one my clients go for most are the shellac. I dont mix brands, client had me do shellac base on tips and speedy on the back of the nail and put reg polish on it all and then wondered why they sucked ! Told her that is why I dont mix brands. ( sorry off subject there) My question to you all is , What is the brand you use and why? I am willing to expand my wall of color and would like your input on the gel explosion. I am going to try and get into the Minx, but then I see the Incoco and Dashing Diva and when I think of these products I think AVON! sorry I do. So I know what is going to happen here, I am going to get into Minx and then 15 other brands are going to pop up and confusion sets in. Along with the lac of money in my pocket going out to try 15 new brands and then only have one that people ask for ( the one who does the most self promotion) Thanks for you time gals.
