Tomorrow is one year to the day since the EU pulled TPO out of gel polish.
That rule never applied here and it still doesn't. Gel with TPO is legal to sell and use in the United States, and anyone telling your clients otherwise is repeating a headline they didn't finish reading. What did cross the Atlantic is the question, and we are getting it at the counter now: clients turn the bottle over and ask what's in it.
So it is good timing that Cre8tion sent us two answers this week. Nine HEMA free and TPO free builder shades in 2oz jars, one box, $212.50. That works out to $23.61 a jar against $16.95 for the 1oz singles, which is double the product for under seven dollars more.
The Tea and Coffee cat eye kit landed the same week, 24 shades running rose gold through espresso, and it ships with the printed swatch board so the wall goes up the day it arrives.
