Hi all
I am going mobile shortly and suddenley thought I ony have french manicure nail polishes
When you are mobile how many polishes should you ideally have and what do customers expect?
Thanks

Anyone?! :-)

I would expect a decent range of brights, darks, sheers, creams and frosted colours. You don't have to get them all at once, but you do need a few of each, I think.
I'd hate it if I had a mobile tech turn up and I was limited to less than 10!

I have been mobile for a long time and have always carried around a wide selection of colours, I purchased colour wheels a long time ago which proved to be a god send! Its a lot easier to show the clients the colour wheels to let them decide which shade they would like rather than picking up every bottle! Each wheel has 20 finger nails, I number the back of each one and number the corresponding bottle so its easy to find!

here's the kind of thing i mean -

eBay.com.sg: BN -*Nail Art / Nail Polish Color Wheel / Swatch* NEW (item 320392850734 end time Jul 10, 2009 01:59:31 SGT)

Thankyou for your replies girls

Also remember to think outside the box and get some colours you would not ideally choose yourself...eg you may be a dark colour girl,but some clients may like brights and orange and fuschias!

Also for French it is nice to have a soft white,as opposed to a "tipex" white.

Having just a couple of colours from each spectrum of colour range is handy as Calla said.

What a fab idea!! I'm also mobile and tend to let clients rummage through my bucket bag, so I may well nick your idea - it would make life easier......

Geeks are clever people, lol

Believe me Vetty this site has been inspirational and invaluable to me...and the best thing is its FREE...lol

Thanks for your replies

ive got a great case for my polishes. got it out of lidl years ago. (think it was originally for screws and things, it has a clear front so you can see all the polishes and it holds about 60 bottles, its fab. It was only a fiver

Thanks Debs x

I have around 30 to offer clients ranging from french to softer colours to full on bright colours!!

Its good also to keep an eye on the latest shades of the season..and get at least a couple in,keep an eye on beauty mags or your suppliers latest colours,promote these to your clients.They love to think they are up to date with the latest fashion.I change my polish on my toes regularly and let my clients know what the colour is...excellent advert!!!!(perhaps not in the winter though)

when CND launch there colour effects u will be amazed and not have to stock large amounts of polishes xx
