[emoji15]tracey I think you posted a reply to the wrong thread [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38].
Tanya I have had a reaction to the calguard from Calgel after 10 years of using it and it's over exposure and i just changed the methods and used a different product to remove the sticky layer. You might find it is that product and not the gel itself which is causing irritation.
Try figure out what product is creating this for yourself. Then eliminate it.
For future product or nail systems , always always go to have your nails or a treatment done using the product that you wish to stock in your salon or train with BEFORE having the training.
So many therapists have done training in products which they themselves have never actually had a treatment with, and you might have to try a whole range of items before you find one range you like or don't react with.
I would suggest going this route first ,
Also contact Iz Hammond they make IZ gel and have far as I know tester kits or size of them you can try first.
I find them very helpful as a company , they stock Calgel and Iz gels.
