I am working on it since I have so many new computer"gadgets". lol All you do is put white gel on the nail, make sure it covers well no streaks. DON'T CURE IT. Then you use the striping brush and put red strips horizontally on the nails, well kinda curved a little, corner to corner. Not just straight stripes. Wipe your brush, then starting at the beginning of the first stripe nearest the cuticle so your going vertically, pull the brush through the stripes. You move over a bit and pull again. You will go to the beginning of each stripe that has not been pulled. Working from middle to sides. This "bleeds" the red unto the white. lol Cure, put your final coat of whatever you use and cure. (unless the gel polish is now shiny after curing, lol it's been a while since I have used it) It looks really cool and my clients loved it for the holidays. The ONLY thing I hate about gel polish is buffing it off. The color dust goes everywhere. lol Now that I have posted this, there is probably a tutorial on BT. lol lol Genie Webber Eclectic, AL -----Original Message----- From: Kim Tobin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NailTech@googlegroups.com Sent: Sun, 21 Sep 2008 11:39 am Subject: NailTech:: Re: Gels Genie, I would love to see pics or a tutatorial on that!

It's like a Polish bottle full of gel Cleaner. The striper (nylon, long and pointed) is to drag color gel designs. You just put the brush back in the bottle and it removes the gel from the hairs. Not sure of the cost and number. It's here it is just brand new. Customer Service will know. "Striper Brush with Cleaner" Now that is a nifty thing!! I think I may get me one of those! I like doing the "candy cane stripe" with white and red gel and this would be perfect! Thanks Elaine!

I really could have hit you all with lots of emails with thank you's but I am sure you'd be like...OH god another one! Also on the Cuccio products I'll mention the need for the finer salts in the other two flavors and the bump in fragrance. MARSHA...I actually added this brush to the Star Nail Line. It has a black handle. It's is called the #4 Oval Gel Brush. It is Nylon. The hairs are so soft you don't get that snow plow effect of scraping gel off the nail. It just glides on smooth. I can use it with one of the Dark Gel colors from the Runway collection and get a Polish Perfect application. I had a gel brush from Japan that was the inspiration for the #4. The best part and true to Star Nail...it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I just called Cindy in Customer Service the brush is $5.75. We also just added a brand new Striping Brush in a Cleaner. It's like a Polish bottle full of gel Cleaner. The striper (nylon, long and pointed) is to drag color gel designs. You just put the brush back in the bottle and it removes the gel from the hairs.

"Striper Brush with Cleaner" I'm glad you are all finding this useful information and not some sales pitch. I do hesitate to answer a lot of the posts on here because I know it can be perceived as pushing our company. It is the only downside of going full time for the company. :) Elaine "Next, use a brush that is nylon and rounded (not square across the top). A good soft Nylon brush with a rounded shape will make life so much easier around the skin." Elaine Watson aka Elaine (was) from Maine haha I used T3 Fibergel in my early years with gel......and I use it now on occasion. My question, Elaine, is......where do you get a brush like you have described? I bought what was called a cat's tongue brush about 6 years ago and I haven't been able to replace it. I think it was from Light Elegance but they don't have them on their website. What I love about the cat's tongue brush is that the bristles are long and flexible....not stiff like most gel brushes are. Also the brush is pretty much a standard width but thinner in depth of bristles which contributes to it's flexiblity. TIA!
