Cool Advice!

I am looking into expanding my nail services with adding Gels.
A lot of my clients ask for them and I have been looking into them but have no idea where to start.

What brushes are good?
UV lamps?
What brand of gel is good..or can I just order from ebay?
Building gel..what is that?
What type of sealer is good?
Best place to buy any of these products?

I am sure I will have more questions as time goes on but those are some general one. Thanks for your answers =)

As a professional, educated, licensed & certified nail tech.....I must advise you that an education really should be your first step. Especially if you intend on working on others. No box, kit or youtube video will ever tell you all you need to know about anatomy, nail structure, proper nat nail prep, ratio, application, technique, product chemistry and the myriad of other things needed to apply a good-looking, long-lasting, safe set of enhancments. There are reasons that an education, license and certification are required to legally "nail" in the US (Florida included). With that education and license you will be free to purchase professional grade products and gain you access to many education opportunities to try and learn many different products as they are introduced. If you have a true passion for all things nails--it is definitely worth it to go about it in the proper manner.

Well if you are a professional and working for a well known beauty salon then for sure you should be trying out the beauty, nail products and supplies available on the online stores of Nail De Royale.
