Loving your work x
My nail repair using Brisa Lite Smoothing gel. You can see the line of light is interupted where the rip is.
I initially tried it with just the Smoothing gel on saturday just gone, but ended up redoing it on sunday with some silk underneath and it is still good as new. I love how glossy they look.

BrisaLite Smoothing before and after.
This lady was over the moon with the smooth glossy finish of BrisaLite. Her nails looked so much healthier and hopefully it's added some strength as she's had problems with her nails bending over.

I finally had a chance to try the Brisa Lite Sculpting (french look)
Over the weekend I went to a local supplier to see Brisa Lite demo and I got 2 nails done. One french with Sculpting gel and one Smoothing with Shellac over it.
Tonight I just couldn't wait and I had to fiddle with the french myself :wink2:
I soaked off the enhancement done at the demo and I just lightly removed/buffed the top. Then I wrapped it for 20 min and Voila! The gel came off beautifully!
Couple days ago I did a simple overlay with Brisa Lite Sculpting Pink and that one came off in 17 min too!
Gigi, you were right!!!:hug:
I'm beyond impressed how this gel comes off. It crumbles off beautifully!
Today I tried the Sculpting gels and used White and Clear for the simple french look. The finished result is not perfect- I grabbed the kit from the salon but I forgot my regular brush and I worked with a very bad lighting on the kitchen table :wink2:
The Base applied like a dream, but I was wondering if the white is gonna become runny on top of it. Nope!
The White gel is a pure heaven. I haven't worked with a better white in my whole entire life as a nail tech! I'm begging CND NOT TO CHANGE IT PLEASE!!
It's stiff so the smile line is perfect, I mean it looks like a L&P. I almost feel like competing (LOL, kidding!)
I then applied the clear gel- another absolutely beautiful gel. Cured and now time to file :Scared:
This gel files like a classic gel :Love: No rubbery feel. Amazed- again.
The white didn't get patchy after I filed it
The Gloss (has to be shaken really well BTW) went on easily. I didn't get any shrinking at all.
The nail feels quite strong and not rubbery like other SOGs
If this stuff lasts 3 weeks... ladies and gentlemen, we have a miracle on our hands (literally!!)
"Classic gel" that is removable (easily!) and no filing of the natural nails? An answer to our prayers! (And CND deserves a medal for this invention!!)
My plan is to soak off frenches every appointment (I'll just book the clients before I'm finished with my previous client) and rebalance the pink (just pink or clear)- that takes no time to file.
I'm so switching everyone to this! Well, my gel clients :Love:

Wow!! I would love to plaster this accolade wherever I could put it! :lol:
Coming from someone as experienced and talented as Anna is wonderful approbation.
I love and respect and thank everyone for their input at all levels, but its also nice when it comes from someone at the top of their profession. :hug:
I have a lovely client with a door damaged middle finger. I think it is a perfect case for sculpting gel but I'm waiting for my training! We have sculpted over it with l&p but it can't be rebalanced as it has a channel in the centre that allows moisture in so I only do that for special occasions and we soak it off after. I'm showing the before pictures here and after just using smoothing gel and dark lava shellac. I love it!

I'm not trained in gels yet only CND L&P (planning to do my conversion at Easter) but I just couldn't wait to try the sculpting gel on myself after watching the video. I'm surprised how easy it was to use and adore the feel of them. I couldn't normally get away with nails like this with 3 kids and changing nappies etc, but these are so flexible. Love them!!

Although saying that, I can't wait to do the course as I sculpted these and I'm sure there's a really simple way of sculpting the white on forms then going in the lamp without knocking the white, but I couldn't find it so snipped a bit of the overhang off the forms and did 3 nails at a time xx

Yesterday I did a soak of on a set of brisa lite smoothing with shellac over, they were 9 days old as client had broken 2 nails slightly (she's an x nail biter, well nearly x lol) and she also has a job interview and needed nude nails for it.
So soaked of for 15 minutes and brilliant... I even took a pic as I was so happy at how they removed, one quick wipe over for bits and they were ready for a manicure and polish.

Hi
On they video they recommend that you slide out the tray in the lamp to fit the forms in ( the way you would if you were doing toes)

Did you do base, smoothing gel, topcoat then apply crystals, cure? Top coat again?

I did base coat, sculpting gel, then topcoat placed thee crystal in then cured, then with a tiny dotting tool, carefully dotted round the crystals so not to get any on top, then cured again... Then wiped.
They are so solid still I've redone my other nails as I have changed there shape and shellaced but left my Blingy finger lol

One week old brisa lite smoothing gel and shellac. I'm amazed that there's no wear at the tip, I usually file my nails down a little once tip wear shows but I haven't needed to with the smoothing gel. Has anyone else found this?
