So you have to fill in the gel when they come back then re-apply the gel polish? I want to make sure I'm understanding. I like this idea for people with thin nails that might break or dry out from getting gel polish re-done every 2 weeks.

I bet i;m about 75% also. I call it the soft gel manicure, didn't want to call it soak off because I file, didn't want to call them gel nails, because of traditional gels. I use the Mani Q gel, then use gel polish on top of this. I have client that can go a month also. Just file off and re-apply. Most ac clients have switched to this. And soooooooooooooooooooo easy on my hands. LOVE IT. The only clients that I have left with ac, are those that I need to build a nail because they grow ka ka!!!!!!lolo. but they love the gel polish. And Becky, the Charisma has been a HUGE success. Now my clients can pick their favorite nail polish color and I can make a gel polish for them. LOVE IT. These gels have changed our industry. did I say LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! And I have all kinds of brands. just love them. But love the idea of mixing my own at a decent price. diana from indiana Quoting Jess in WA <[email protected]>: > After doing last years taxes I discovered that gel manicures- the way > I do it- is now 75% of my business.
