Yea there are SO many gel polishes now that distinguishing between hybrids and 100% gel in a bottle is hard unless you can walk around at a trade show. A few companies have taken their pot gels and just put it in a bottle which I've heard can be problematic because they don't have the stabilizing chemistry to keep the colors from having to be stirred.
3 coats, ouch. Some of the Luxio colors are 1 coat for amazing coverage. Its also LED (someone had emailed asking me) but their new LED lamp is still in manufacturing. Any LED lamp will work though if you already have one. I'll be interested to see how the OPI works and if its 100% or hybrid/ solvent based.
