There are soooo many gels out there that are WONDERFUL! And they all provide a little something different. I am hunting and getting a headach trying to decide which one will be best for me and my clients. I have narrowed it down to two fantastic Gel systems. One is CND and the other is Entity a new nail company that has great products. I am lookin for a gel product that will provide flexiablity for my clients and also one that levels its self. CND gel system has great viscosity. The product does not run you can place it where you need and have time to cure the product. But, CND is very thick so you will have a lot of filling to do later if you apply to much because it does not self level very well. The Entity on the other hand is great with self level and the viscosity. You don't have to chase the product and it self levels very well. So you would say ok, why not go with Entity ummmm... I know I should, but Entity does not come in the variety of white shades and pink shades....LMBO!!!.. I will have to think more about that cause Entity also has a version of gels that help cover up nail beds that may have discoloration. And some clients like for there nails to look a natural pink.
So I guess I have found the product I am going with. CND it is!!...LMBO

Gel Nails I love them they will soon replace polish. With gels they your service dries as the service goes along. Which means that by the end of the service your all dry and ready to go. A gel service should take about 15 minutes longer then a regular manicure. Gels come a variety of colors looks just like polish. Clients love gel polish because the service last longer then a regular manicure. Regular polish chips within 3-4 days even if you get a dry manicure your polish will still chip maybe after 5 days. With gels your service last at least 2 weeks. You can problem get the gel manicure to last 3 weeks depending on the color you choose. I have clients that come to see me once a month. Which is great because while they are away doing the other things they love. That gives me time to have other clients in my seat and get things done around the salon that needs to be done.
There are serveral nail companies out there that are making there own line of gels. Which one is great, depends on what you like. You have the soak offs that OPI produce, CND has a gel system which is great that one you file and buff done and fill in like a acrylic set. But, not as strong as acrylics which makes it easy to take off. Entity has a great gel system which I love it's very flexible easy to controll and manage. There are serveral off brands that may work just as well.
I feel like gels are the one of the best things that has happened to me. They are not like they use to be 11 years ago. I hated them I would tell all of my clients not to go with gels. Now the new and improved gels I would rather do those instead of acrylics. They are fun because of the variety of colors and no drying time and also flexible which means you will not have breakage like they use to break back in the day.
Well that's all I have to say right now about the gels. Oh yeah and you can make beautiful nail art with them also. I am going to close these blog if anyone has questions please feel free to send me a message.
