Mindy, After reading all the posts on the subject, I do not feel that anyone really answered your question. So here is my answer to your question, for all it's worth.
If a client called me and asked me what the difference is between Shellac and Jessica SOG polish I would say that both products are used on natural nails, both products are soaked off with acetone and both come in a polish bottle. I have not used Jessica so I can not testify about Jessica soak off gel. I have used Shellac since it's inception in April of 2010 and my clients Shellac manicures last 14 to 21 days. The only really true way to give your honest opinion about a product is to try it. I have a long list of SOG polish companies that will be at LV IBS and I plan to get some of all of them to test out. I really LOVE Shellac. I just want to be sure that I'm using the very best product that I can on my clients. With my location, climate, clients, style etc... Not every product works for every nail tech in every area on every client.
