File Check

[champagne]

Hi Ya Geeks

Im just about to re-order files im currently using entity files but it is working out a little expensive, im very happy with them but think i may be using too many during service, this is what im using:

shaper 150 grit
refiner 180 grit
perfector sponge 180 grit
buffer sponge 220/280
shiner 300/600

I did use cnd files but cant remember which ones i had, i changed systems and then changed back but kept the entity files.

I am asking you what files and how many you use...

Many thanks in advance

I use
Kanga board on natural nails

Koala file for prep
hotshot to refine shape
white block to reduce any scratches
then i finish a UV gel top gloss so hardly use many files at all, hth

Thanks Lou, what do u use if they want hand buff?

That is what they all used to get but when i introduced the top gloss i told all clients it would be free the first time but cost £2.50 after that,
this gave them a chance to try it out and see if they liked it,
but i realised it was not costing me any more as i was saving on files and cutting down on service time and i prefer the lasting finish so decided it was not necessary to charge for this,
all the clients love it and were easily converted,

but if i get some one who wants a hand finish for the shine the only extra file i would need would be the Glossing buffer block,
i use all CND files, hth
