Not like other IBD
Listen to the reviews. I am a professional and j wanted something cheap to mess around and practice with. I prefer thicker gels for most of my work. Thinner for some things as well. So I was kind of ready reading the comments. IBD has a thicker viscosity in general but this is pretty much just TOO thick. I d k if its expired or what but it is NOT easy to work with. I do acrylic and gel but mostly gel. I've tried tons of brands and seen all types of colors and consistency. The color is beautiful and one I wish I could find on the regular. I tried a thin layer then encapsulated it in clear but that didn't work bc it is somewhat see through so it had spots where it was more opaque. Its impossible to get it smooth at all bc it doesn't really self level. I've worked with gels similar but usually they have some kind of movement even if its not much. This was just a waste of money and time. Hope this helps
