Top2Bottom - I LOVE IT!

I need to rave about this awesome, awesome gel top coat ! It cures in LED lamp in seconds and UV Lamp in minutes.

What's so special about Top2Bottom is that it is a soak off system, super easy application and guaranteed to deliver crystal clear High Shine

You can use it 2 layers as a nail strengthener alternative, or use it as a base and a top coat for gel polish over natural nails, traditional gel nails(both hard/soft) or acrylic nails.

 (Do not apply over regular nail polish as a topcoat, however you can use this as a basecoat prior to nail polish application to protect your nails from yellowing and to give it that nice smooth surface to polish)

Because it is pure soakable gel, you need to wipe off the final dispersion layer with a cleanser but I promise you, it will not dull like the generic ones, You will be pleased....Very pleased at the finish :)

I'm loving it because I've used this for all my recent competition work to deliver such gorgeous finish and I just have to share this info with all the nailtechs out there because I have tried so many soak-off gel topcoat and this one just blew me away ! 

Just Fantasy

My entry for Mythology of the East & West @ IBS Las Vegas

This has got to be one of the most rushed entry that I had to work on, it started in Singapore and completed in the USA over 10 days in between transit and work. It was also my most fulfilling piece of creation as I love the characters of mythology and especially working with different mediums and exploring new techniques to push the level a notch higher.

Models : Fiona Otten (Greek Goddess) and Gina Silvestro (Angel) ~ Thank you xxx

As a bonus, these "girlfriends + nailtechs" of ours were fabulous as models who brought our theme and character to life

Miniature Gel Painting

The new generation gel paint can help you achieve amazing details from start to finish without having to flash cure in between. More and more nail techs are keen to learn this new technique and it is no longer an impossible feat for any newbie in art to learn this. Since the launch of the ONE Gel, I have spent a great deal of time developing this painting technique so that it can also be applied to salon work with ease.

If you wish to participate in our upcoming workshops, please send an email to ecsalonce@pacific.net.sg and indicate "Subscribe Newsletter For The ONE Gel Workshop". You will be kept in the loop for our workshop schedule.
