During gel color application I heard some nail tech sprinkle acrylic powder on the base coat to add strength, then cure, base coat again, cure, and then proceed with color choice. Does anyone do that? If so, how's the result? Thanks

This technique is one method of doing "acrygel." It absolutely adds strength and does the best repairs. However for some people (me included) it is much harder to remove--for others it removes easily. YouTube has a few videos on acrygel for more information.

Your best bet to understand this application is to watch some YouTube videos. Soak off is the same as any SOG manicure but it may take longer to remove. Many claim it takes only an additional 5 minutes. My experience was that it was extremely difficult to remove. I did fills--filing off the old SOG carefully and being careful not to file down to the natural nail. There are also videos on doing fills.
