I went to the Birmingham Xperience day and it was fab.
Assuming the colour I want exist both in Shellac and Luxe, I would actually question whether I would buy the normal Shellac bottle anymore.
Removal aside - the colours I've tried so far, applies flawlessly in 2 coats, the application is incredibly thin and so far, it's been wearing better on my thin and damaged nails (overfiled due to myself), where shellac would previously peel off due, however time will tell as it's only been a couple of days.
The brush is literally genius and you can actually do the 3 swipes across the nail and be done with it (I'm usually a faffer).
Back to removal - no more trying to get rid of that last bit of sticky base coat that just doesn't want to come off the nail!
The only thing so far I've had a problem with is the top coat application, it's different to normal Shellac and I think I drag it on too much. I tried stamping over it last night, and the colour dragged ever so slightly over the white stamping polish, shellac never used to. However, this is my fault, as my second stamped nail turned out better when I tried to be lighter in my application and float it on more.
So far I absolutely love the product and I think anyone who is currently using Shellac should pick up a colour and top coat to try it out.
