Myths about Gel Nails:
1) Myth: Gel nails are soooooo easy to do, they apply just like nail polish! Anyone can do them! (Then why isn’t everybody already doing them?) The truth: “Gel nails are easy to learn, but hard to master”.
2) Myth: Gel nails are “lumpy” because you can’t file them or do finish work. The truth: Gel nails are non-porous and completely cured, there is no reason not to file them to perfection if needed!

I think your comments are correct about gel nails, easy to learn but very hard to get right. I use acrylics by creative nail and they must be the best on the market, still cant get excited about gel nails, maybe I have not found the correct gel product yet ,using OPI gel at the moment dont like the end result time will tell, or maybe time will tell.

Try to use IBD gels. I try so many different and found IBD as best with great results.

hey it’s taken me awhile to get used to gel nails, but i believe the best product on the market is Bio-Sculpture Gel. It’s great but expenxive. I never likes the OPI Gel at all

I was unhappy with how my salon shaped my gel nails. Not only was I unhappy with the shape but the white gel that made my french tip made a bump and the salon didn’t use the clear gel to help smooth out the entire nail. I went home to reshape them on my own. To my dismay I found that reshaping them and trying to buff down the white ‘bump’ was successful but it left the gel not shiny in the places I filed. Even putting some super shiny top coat over top of the gel didn’t completely help make those spots shiny. They still looked matte. I like the gel, I just wish the salon would’ve done a better job.

gingerps…when I have had my nails done in the past, I always tell then ahead of time the shape I want. After all, you’re paying for it, you should have it look how you want it to look. As far as the bump, if that was me, I would have gone back and asked them to fill it in to even it out. If they make a mistake a good salon will fix it for no extra charge:)
