    Wetting the free edge with monomer before applying zone 1?

    Hi all. I've been watching the Nailzoo videos and noticed that on some of them the technician wets the free edge of zone 1 with monomer and brush before applying the zone 1 bead. It seems to make application easier (but then he makes everything look easy!) However I did read somewhere that...

    Does anyone make their own cuticle oil?

    If so, would you share your recipe? I would like to purchase cuticle oil in bulk like 8 oz or more at a time and solar oil is too expensive for me. I do like TT vanilla cuticle oil but she has discontinued it :( I pour my oil into a dropper so I don't need one that comes with a brush. I'm...

    Yellowing UV Sealant.

    Ok guys, I have tried IBD intense seal, and recently NSI glaze n go. Now I know that you all are a big fan of this stuff, so I believe that it is a top quality product. But mine seem to yellow slightly (and when I mean yellow) I mean that my whites are not as bright with it on and it dulls...

    A question about natural nail preparation before polish?

    Hey all. I am noticing lately (I don't remember having this problem much before) that when polish my manicure clients that I am having little bumps show through the polish so I am forced to keep wiping it off and start over on a few nails which is really annoying. It seems to be their own nail...

    I have found EZFlow's phone number for the US

    :green: Hi all. I have been searching everywhere for EZFlow's phone number as it is not listed on their website. After emailing them about 7 times someone finally responded to me and gave it to me, so I thought I would share. Their customer service line is 800-621-9585.

    If you mix cool pink with warm pink does it create neutral pink?

    I use Tammy Taylor dramatic pink (warm), but like the look of Tammy Taylor true pink (cool). For L&Ps. These days it's hard to determine a clients skin tone by their jewelry as silver jewelry is more popular right now more than gold. I know in a previous thread it was advised to look at the...

    Tammy Taylor users

    I'm just wondering if you prefer the true pink or the dramatic pink for your clients or if you use both depending on their skin tone :green: I am currently using dramatic pink but I'm thinking about trying the true pink.

    Today I attempted to elongate a nailbiters nailbed

    It was an unsuccessful enhancement and I was very disappointed :( I used cover pink in zone 2. It looked awful and did not cover the clients natural nail line at all! When I was done with the enhancement you could totally see the line of her bitten nails through the pink. TG it was the...

    100/180 files by bulk?

    Hey all, I checked old threads about this but only found one answer. I use 100/180 files and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy durable files in bulk for less? I purchased them last time from The Industry Source but I'm sure I could get them elsewhere for cheaper. Thanks :)

    About EZFlow Qmonomer?

    I just ordered EZFlow Qmonomer from a website. It only had a screw on top but no foil protective seal. Do any of you use it and can you tell me if it's supposed to have a foil seal when it's new?

    My IBD Intense Seal is yellowing?

    I am just wondering if anyone else that uses it has experienced this or if this is yet another one of my products that needs to be replaced. I really like the uv sealers with the brush in them and preferably one that doesn't need to be "wiped" after. If anyone knows of one that doesn't yellow...

    Taking a poll...How many of you keep your clients files in envelopes?

    I have been keeping my clients files in envelopes with their name on it. Should I continue to do this, is it a waste of time or should I just use a new file each time? I figured some of you had to have tried this and I'm just wondering what you found out in the process. Thanx! :green:

    Compensation question in search of new salon

    Hi all. I am considering looking for a new place to work. I currently buy my own acrylic products (but mani and pedi products are supplied) I am on a 60/40 split. Should I ask the next place I work for 70/30 or do you think this is reasonable?

    Stealing Co-worker, what would you do???

    Hi all. I'll try to make this short and sweet but I can't promise :). I really need some advice here because I'm losing my mind. The other nail tech that works at the salon with me has been stealing from me. She took my polymers and poured hers into my containers. She also stole my handset...

    Where to purchase a large primer bottle holder?

    It seems like the only primer bottle holders I can find are for small bottles? I need one to fit my EZFlow primer.

    Making a new missing nail match the others?

    Maybe this has happened to you? I have noticed that when I have a client come in for a fill and if she is missing one nail, and I use a form to apply a new nail, that I can always tell which nail is the new one! I am trying to figure out a way to combat this. I use the natural smile line to form...

    Full set of sculpt for nail biters?

    Hi all. I have Tammy Taylor's video full set of sculptured nails for nail biters. It features applying some acrylic to create a new free edge so that you can elongate the nailbed before making a white free edge (for french). I tried doing this and you could totally see the natural smile line...
