Dont mean to sound stupid but Ive never heard of some gels being soft and some being hard, what are the benefits of each?
Soft gels are soak off (with product remover), hard gels are buff off and are generally stronger, you're able to tip or sculpt with hard gels without using any other products to get the strength required.Dont mean to sound stupid but Ive never heard of some gels being soft and some being hard, what are the benefits of each?
No professional nail product damages the nail plate if it's applied/removed correctly.Im led to believe that Calgel does not damage the nail plate..is this correct?
So back to the original post which is rated highest calgel or bio-sculpture? Maybe a poll would be a good idea? X
Well over 90 colours now I think ... the new winter colours are gorgeous btw (a matt medium brown, a matt dusty pink and a denim blue shimmer).Bio defnitely has the best colours available.
Hi, I did Acrylic for 20 years up to 60 hours a week and also taught them for 15 years, I have been using Bio for 11 years and love it, I changed over 200 clients to Bio and they love it, anything I could do with L/P I can do with Bio except a lot faster, more interesting and without the problems to my health.
Bye for Now

I was a bit dissapointed in the new colours tbh. I just ordered a few of my old favourites and a few new ones especially the very dark blue (forgot its name) its FANTASTIC.
I do like the new orangey colour but thought it might be nicer for summer - maybe its just me!!
Hi
What problems can you get to your health using L&P, I thought it was harmless!!
Soft gels are soak off (with product remover), hard gels are buff off and are generally stronger, you're able to tip or sculpt with hard gels without using any other products to get the strength required.
hth's a bit
I really don't think Brisa and Bio can be compared. Soak off and file off ae like apples and oranges. I don't use Bio, but I do offer Calgel along side Brisa.Just wanted to say I found bio gels as a client and tech awful. They are rubbery and come with issues, and not hard wearing unlike acrylic or other gel systems.
They are ok as a stronger nail varnish effect, but as a nail enhancement not hard wearing:irked: but I no quite a lot of very experienced (over 18 years as techs) nail techs who paid the very expensive cost of £400 to train in bio, only to find they were not hard wearing enough. The issues they found were spliitting at the free edge (and it was not their technique, as soon as changed to different product they never had this problem at all or before using bio gels) Thats the excuse every manufacturer uses when their products fail.
Also Iv heard a lot of friends etc who have been to different salons who use bio gel and have been very unhappy with the wearability. I went to observe in another salon to see if I wanted a job there and she used bio gel, and there were clients who had issues with fungal infections, now she was preping very well, using cleansers etc, everything was sterilized to a high standard etc, she moved on to another product and has never looked back.
I dont normally like to bad mouth any product, but I was very out of pocket and the feedback about Bio gel is not good at all. If you want your clients to be happy with the durability then I would try a buff off gel as hard wearing, if your clients want a product that is better than nail varnish then bio could be for you.
A lot of the techs I have spoken to switched to other gels Ie Brisa which are so much better and have never looked back, now if it was there application then they would get the same issues, but If so so many techs/clients had the same issues then its the product!
I would not go with bio gel it was a big dissapointment and expensive! Brisa gels are so much better, much higher quality and training provided, and the wearability with regards to durability
