While Prescription Nails are owned by Dashing Diva, you can't purchase PN from Dashing Diva. I get all of my PN supplies and refills from www.nailtechheaven.com which is an authorized distributor. IMHO the Virtual Nails and the PN are no comparison. They are two totally different products. I prefer the PN.
Becky, they are crystal clear so you can totally see if you have an air pocket in the glue. Air pockets are caused by two things: Improper size or improper fit by choosing the wrong C-curve. These should fit every single nail virtually like a glove. A third reason is if a client has a deformed nail due to damage, however, if you choose the right shape/size, the gel glue should fill in that area. For whoever it was that had to do a French on a nail biter, what I would have done is used an opque pink polish first, then applied my white, that should allow you to achieve what you wanted!!
