Hi there,
Im doing my essential course in L&P and so far love it, i love working in acrylics, its just everyone keeps moaning about the smell - it is really really bad, even when i keep the lip on the dappen dish as much as i can, open all the windows the smell lingers for hours. When I leave the nails on the trainer and have even polished over the top they still stink to high heaven!! I have even taken to going out in the garden and pouring the liquid onto a kitchen towel for it to evaporate before putting it in the bin. I went round to do my mums nails today and everyone was moaning, to the point my sister went out because she had headache. We were working in the conservetory for air !
The acrylic supplied with the course are Dream - i like the texture and find it easy to work with - but for once i qualify (i dont think i will be using dream as they are ... erm ... overpriced and REALLY Smell )
Does anybody have a recommendation for a less stinky acrylic ??? I have heard of the oderless ones you can cure with a UV light, and various other bits and bobs - but i always trust anything you geeks have to say ....
Thanks as ever ! Lucy x
