Drug store ones tend to get gummier faster, might dry slower, and might have less pigment per volume meaning you need to do more coats. OPI, Essie, Orly, and China Glaze I would say are all easy to get and about the same quality. I don't consider Sally Hansen to be professional quality. My favorite brand is actually CND VInylux but to be completely honest I'm not sure if its open stock or only available to professionals. It stays the best and has a great pigment concentration. Also, all brands I would suggest using a base coat (except Vinylux, which specifically is made to not need it). My spa uses Orly Bonder which seems to work well with everything.

I don't really get what you're asking? Are you asking what the difference between stick on nail tips and actual sculpted nails are?

Also ask a professional I guess. Pic unrelated.
