Hi

I'm waiting for my Popits to arrive and as I use Gel I have in the meantime been researching things to hold the popits in place whilst curing. Could anyone tell me if they think these items on Ebay would work.

NEW 10PCS NAIL COVER CLIPPER FOR TIPS POLISH PROTECTOR on eBay, also, Nail Art, Nails Manicure Pedicure, Health Beauty (end time 12-Jan-08 07:41:38 GMT)

Someone said that whatever you use can't be too tight or too loose and I know that these aren't as I did buy some to protect my nail polish whilst it was drying.

Thanks

Lesley

These have been suggested before but I dint think they have been tried. The concern was with them is that they are not clear and people wondered if that would affect the cure.

As I suggested earlier, they are practically see through, I'd imagine they would hold it in place for majority of curing, seems to be enough faffing with application to allow for a decent cure even if you removed it halfway through.

Victoria says she has some of these clips, but she seems intent on this tube thing for the moment. Can someone else try them? Seems to be quite a bit of frustration and very few answers.

How come there are no answers to this question from the popit pros ?

What happened to the popits, there was so much hype, now everything seems to have gone quiet?

Sorry, forgot to mention.
Tried it... didn't hold enough pressure.
Either client's finger was too small or what, I dont know, but it lifted right back up.

I cant speak for every one else but I never thought they would be an answer as I didn't have a problem but they are an alternative. They are just there now, part of my box of goodies that I use as and when.

Pink clip worked! - 11-01-08, 05:00 AM

Had another try tonight with the pink clip as suggested by nailzoo.
Worked great!
So, I guess the other client's fingers were too tiny maybe?
No bubble, no sliding.. it was super easy and turned out PERFECT!!!!

Off to order more of these clips


THANKS CARL

Victoria - are you aware of any suppliers in Canada to avoid dreaded duty and postage? I haven't seen these clips prior to this thread....

Hi Curly,

other than ebay? No, I'm afraid I don't know of any Cdn suppliers.
The bright side is that the $ is pretty much at par.

I do lots of dealings with Nailite and am placing an order in the next week or two. IF you like, I can order a box for you, and send it off to you. You can pay cost and shipping by paypal, if you like.
I have to place an order, no matter whether you do or not, so don't worry about the duty's etc.

let me know via email.
