Default Soak off Gels

Hi... I have a small home based nail business, I have recently been certified in both acrylic and gel nails.....recently ... I have started to get customers asking for soak off gel products. Can anyone tell me a good soak off gel system to get ?

Thanks for your help

I take it that you are in the UK or other Nation from the "other side of the pond" from me. So, I will pass on to you what I hear from other techs I know from there--Akcentz and Biogel seems to be what I hear about the most from over there. THere is also CalGel, but I don't know about the availability for you. Those are really about the only soakable gels there are that can be used to enhance length. Otherwise they are all for natural nail overlays only.

sorry located in Canada... and yes one client did ask for Bio Gel but I can not get that because I have not had training in that brand and they will not sell it to me
Sorry... Cal gel and Akcentz I have never heard of... so if possible could you give me a idea on where to buy ..

Thanks so much.. I have contacted them both... hopefully they will sell it me.... some want you to have training with they product before allowing you to buy ..

I am still thinking about tammy Taylor.. only because I know the name and trust her acrylic products..

Like I said.. I am small.... I only have 2 gel customers and right now both of them have the standard file off gel.. but they are asking about soak off...

Most of my clients are here for acrylic.. LOL

Well, TT does not have an sog line that is meant for extensions. I do know that she has a new sog polish for natural nail overlays that is pretty good though.

Good Luck!!

I don't know which way to go... Star Nail has the ECO soak off... goes over tips well, but the durability I don't know about... I currently use their file off gel.....

Tammy Taylor put out a video on her sog. and it showed using forms... to make the extentions..

I will wait till I hear from the Calgel and the other one and hopefully make a decision then thanks for you help Claudia..I appreciate the time you took to help........
