So are you saying that when clients come in for a gel polish change instead
of soaking of you just file lightly all of the polish off and smooth but
pretty much leave base on so you just apply polish then topcoat?

Jess, this sounds really interesting! So the color you're using--I'm
assuming it's gel polish of some type? Then when the client comes back in
you just quickly file it off?
Thanks for sharing!

After doing last years taxes I discovered that gel manicures- the way
I do it- is now 75% of my business. I never soak off, as many techs
don't. I keep a very thin layer of Akzentz Natural gel as the base
coat - it balances with the flexibility of the colors and gives the
strength of an enhancement without needing an arch (it goes against
what we normally think is required but it really does work
beautifully). If a customer wants extensions, I obviously use a bit
more gel and a slight arch- but once their natural nails are to the
desired length, the thin layer of hard gel is all that's required to
give people 4 weeks of strength with their color on top. I call it the
30 day manicure and charge $55 for what takes 30-50 minutes. My
clients are busy and don't have time to come in more than every 3-4
weeks so they absolutely love the 30 day manicure. I've had a client
leave to Europe for the summer and her nails lasted 7 weeks.
I only do a traditional base coat, 2 coats of color and top coat gel
manicure if a client is planning to soak them off at home it they are
only coming temporarily.
Anyway if you haven't tried this method and you have clients who want
more strength or their natural nails always protected, it's a fabulous
trick :)

I'm afraid they will expect the gel polish to hold up like traditional gel
