So true! (Last bit) Since india is new to enhancements there is utter confusion for the layman (consumer) because they have nothing to compare. The powder gel is a ripoff using basic acrylic with a UV gel top coat.
"Why is your gel svc more than the competition?" (Usual question from client) I ask them how many times did they put the hands in the lamp? ONLY ONCE at the end. Then a full explanation. Why the lies to pass off a cheap acrylic as a hi-end gel svc? (Some techs go as far as saying, that the latest gel is done like this!!!!!) Ha! Ha! Ha!

"Solar Nails" was $40 when their full set was $20 or $25. When they did Solar Nails, they still glued on a tip, but just put white acrylic over it, then put the same clear acrylic underneath (lol--didn't even use pink). I asked many times what they were when I first came to work there (since the owner of the shop always had to do any "solar nails" of course, since it cost more) and always got a really vague answer, so I just saw it for myself. Same deal with "gels"...they used the same acrylic that they used for everything else (but amazingly, it had then turned into a "gel powder"),but then they would top it off with a UV top coat and call it gel nails.
