Because for a lot of us it doesn't really get used, saves it going to waste. x

Why wouldn't it get used and go to waste? It has a massive long shelf life.

And that's exactly what you should do
Brisa lite smoothing Gel is the perfect Power Partner to CND Shellac.
Recently I have been doing a lot more Brisa Lite Smoothing WITHOUT CND Shellac, where I use CND Additives to create whatever colour Smoothing Gel the client's heart desires - cutting out the CND Shellac steps completely and therefor finishing with Brisa Lite Top Coat.
Doing this let's you use up your CND Additives, Brisa Lite Top Coat, save on Shellac AND give the client the unparalleled personal experience of ultimate, bespoke nail colour customisation.
I'm amazed whenever I talk about this that more people have never tried it, or didn't even know it was possible. A wee tutorial might be in order... would you guys be interested in that?

And also how do you charge for BL smoothing gel when you use additives and when on its own? X

I seem to be wearing Brisa Lite smoothing gel including the top coat and then Vinylux these days. I like applying the top coat before the Vinylux. I feel it gives me extra security and the Vinylux lasts as long as Shellac ... Married to the Mauve is my favourite colour of Vinylux .. been wearing it constantly.

Fee that sounds fabulous. I wonder if a course should be brought out to cover this. I would personally be booking straight on it, anything for another beautiful CND Certificate for my wall xx
I would love to see a tutorial on this please! I didn't think of using smoothing gel like that.
Just put baby to bed and was planning to do the ironing but now I have to go play nails!
Please let us know where we will find the tutorial :0) x

Word of warning!
I ran out of shellac top coat one very busy summers day and the last 2 clients I used Brisa lite top coat. I found it shrunk slightly after a few days, it didn't chip but you could just see the edge of the nail, so I ended up having to do both again. So unless it is a dire emergency I will never use it as a top coat again.

I've used BL top coat on myself with shellac and got great results (ran out of shellac top coat) but wouldn't be game enough to use it on a client
however, I have mixed my neon pigment with BL smoothing gel before and it was awesome !! smoothing gel plus colour in one step, brilliant
