I have tried several gel lines in the past. The ones that I have had the best luck with are Young Nails, and Akzentz. I find Akzentz gels to be a bit better in terms of workability though. YN tends to be a little too thin for me, but it works great for many techs.
Of course, LCN is arguably the best gel line that there is, but the cost of their gels are very high as they are made in Germany, and imported. So, you would have to weigh the cost vs. benefit with this line. Overall, their gels are great, but the cost is about 2-3 times that of a 'regular' gel.
Then there is CND Brisa gels. These work very well, and are widely available at most professional beauty supply stores.
I've tried others, but these are my favorites. Out of them all, I would have to give my vote to Akzentz. Their gels are quite workable, long-lasting, non-yellowing, and the cost of their products is about the same as other comparable gel lines. I'll give you the web sites to each.
All of them have various white gels available. But, I would highly recommend not mixing the various lines, though I know it is possible to do so in some cases. In short, you may want to purchase a trial kit from one or more of them and try the gels out to see if you like that particular line - or not. At least that way you will have the gels and other products you will need to get started with any one particular company's system. It's best not to mix and match among gel - or acrylic lines, in my opinion anyway.
