An-Gel is the latest organic soak off gel from Korea, which only a few manicurists (at least those who graduated from Pink Room International) are using.
By "organic", I mean that no petrochemicals are used in the formulation of the product. Most soak off and traditional gel in the market uses petrochemicals, which will cause some clients' skin to peel/ become very dry especially if they suffer from sensitive skin condition or eczema.
An-Gel can be "soaked off" (literally, you soak your fingers in a solution called "acetone") and need not be "buffed off" (buffed off means using a rough file to patiently file down to remove the gel). Gels that need to be buffed off are "traditional gels". The BIGGEST (and most likely will happen) risk of buffing off by inexperienced manicurists is that your natural nail under the gel may be filed off as well (and in some very bad cases, will bleed.) Even experienced manicurists will end up thinning your natural nails. Soaking off is a MUCH gentler option. Only complaint is that the solution will dry the skin (easily remedied with hand creams/ cuticle oils).
Like all gel, An-Gel can also be used to make gradiated nails (think 1 or more nail colours blended seamlessly on your nail). Extensions are possible, but because it's a soak off, your extensions cannot be too long (likely to snap, cos soak off gels are softer than traditional hard gels). Clients prefer to use An-Gel as a overlay on their natural nails (meaning, apply it over like nail polish on natural nail).
Currently, An-Gel has a selection of gradiated colours (specially formulated for gradiated mix), pearl colours (also very beautiful for gradiated overlays), glitter colours and matt colors.
