    Oh Moxie!

    Well, I just got around to using my Moxie trial kit. I bought it at a 10 hr CE class from a Creative Educator who told me that I might like it since I was used to a faster set. So I've been sitting on the kit for about three months now, waiting for it to hatch eggs I guess......so last night I...

    EZ Flow Silky Soft Lotions

    Does anyone use EZ Flow silky soft lotions? Do you like it? How does it feel? Does it absorb well, or leave a sticky after feel (i hate that!)? What are the best scents? I see the ads for them all the time, and I just wanted to know if anyone used them. Thanks!

How do you handle it? Do you bend over backwards to make her happy? Do you just keep your head down, and...

    What Friend or Relative Has Openly Opposed Your Nail Career?

    If I had done what my mother wanted me to do, I would not be a nail tech. I went to Business College immediately after graduating H.S. This was my mother's bidding. But I had always done nails for my friends. When I met my husband (in college), he saw that I was not happy there, and...

    Wearing Gloves During Pedicures

    Just Curious....... I've been getting the impression here that not many techs are using gloves during pedicures (maybe I'm wrong). If not, I'd like to know why not.
