How many nail varnishes should i offer when mobile?? - 03-09-08, 06:45 PM

HELP

I am about to start doing mani's mobile and also acrylics etc - but what is an acceptable number of polishes to carry with me, how much choice do people need/want. Also should they all be the same make?? Does it look unprofessional if they're not?

What does everyone else do?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks geekz! xx

I take about 20 with me. Although i find it professional to take the same brand polish with me, i like to give my client a choice so will take a few essie, opi and sinful. My clients actually like this beacause they say oh ive heard about that brand and really wanted to try it.
Ask your customers what they prefer, they wont mind? x

I think it depends on the age of the client really. I find the younger people go for the pinks and all the bright colours that are all coming out now and my older clients like dark purples and browns. But you can never tell they do suprise you! lol
Oh and yeh...any excuse for a bit of shopping!!!
Go onto Capital beauty's website they have a range called Sinful. It's £3 per bottle and they have a great choice in colours.Good polish too it lasts for ages ,i find.
