The Gel Bottle Inc conversion

[Welsh Heart]

Anyone else converting? I have decided to convert to The Gel Bottle Inc range, which come in generous 20ml bottles. I think it is a great product. I also use ibd just gel, Gellux and Shellac, but The Gel Bottle Inc is my go to builder gel and polish now. Even my clients who were hooked on Shellac prefer it.

I love the fact that although their builder gels are soak off, they are hard wearing like hard gels and acrylics and so easy to use. Their polishes are amazing too with over 300 colours and growing. Started out with the 30 bottle deal and as my colours from the other brands need replenishing I will replace them with The Gel Bottle Inc colours. Those of you who have tried out The Gel Bottle Inc, what are your thoughts on it?

I really like the products but I'm not willing to convert completely to them yet as I find the delivery times & stocking issues not great, if this improves by February then I may think again but if not then I will be choosing OPI or staying with Bio Sculpture.

I don't think they realised how well it would take off. With there new website coming up I am sure it will get even bigger. Every new business has it teething problems, I am going to make sure that orders are in before I run out.

I've just bought these products on their VAT free offer. My hope is that it will run side by side with my Gel II polishes as they're also a pain in the bum to get hold of at times. It's good to hear that people are liking them so much. I only worry that they don't appear to be professional products. I wish they sold to pros only.

Sadly I've been trying to order items, each time several have been out of stock this has gone on for 3/4 months now. I've been using it since it was launched last year and totally understand teething problems for new businesses, but with stock matters and 10 + days for delivery is difficult for busy salons.
I think if they were only selling to qualified nail professionals then maybe they would have the stock to offer pros only - I have had clients who have ordered a few bottles to use themselves. I'm a busy high street salon and do not have the time to wait months for stock - so much so that I am considering selling off all remaining stock after the Xmas period.
I genuinely hope they iron out their staff shortage for dispatching orders, stock issues and improved website.

I agree with beautyexperts. The colours are lovely though. But I have been very frustrated with delivery issues and even when I asked for my order to be held back for a week (I was promised the 3 colours I wanted that were out of stock would defo arrive) it turned out they never did turn up and had to take my incomplete order. I'm hesitant to order anything else at the minute. I'm a Gelish girl and just wish Gelish would sort out the probs they have with coverage and staying power or else I wouldn't be looking to switch brands.
Maybe once gel bottles new website and stick issues are sorted, then I may convert totally but for now I'm hanging fire.

Hello Ladies,

I've also converted to The Gel Bottle, I love all the colours however I am finding the colours aren't lasting as well on natural nails.

Most people who use the brand are lasting 3 weeks plus! What are the steps you do on natural nails?
