My set up used to be at my nail table. Had all my things set up on my nail table, the client sat across from me with towels on my lap, and the nail lamp underneath the client on a towel.
this was the side of my table, not the clients foot on the nail table!!!! LOLOLO, But this was tearing my back up, the client was uncomfortable. so my boss built me a a padded board, that slips over our ped throne tub. The padded board covers the tub and the water faucet knobs (in case the water comes on accidently, electricity/water do not like each other). This has saved my back and the clients legs. My problem as of last night, is carrying my gel products back and forth. Just this morning I ordered a cart, metal, with flat top and 4 huge drawers with rollers, they are having a sale from the midwest show, www.midwestsalon.com I will keep all bling/gel in this cart. The gel lamp will sit on top of the cart. The products I use are different. I use Mani-Q because I like the consistency of the product. I also use Base n. Gloss from Akzentz because it is also so easy to use and Gina has the best videos on line that you will ever find (http://www.gelessentialz.com/home.html) You can use any clear gel. I am not promoting one product line because I have not tested all products yet. I want to try Vic's line, and also Entity line, and yep, Light Elegance line also. If this keeps up, want to splurge and buy a battery operated e-file from Gina. Big bucks, but will be so much easier than hand filing and carrying my efile back and forth. It takes me about 45 minutes now for this, from set up to clean up. The cart will take this time down, and the efile will take down the time even more, want to do 30 minute bookings. I watched bling toes at the Young nail booth while in Chicago, they were sprinkling away. But the glitter waste was too much for me. Glitter can be expensive. Lynnette and me were WOW, too much waste for us!!!! I tried to sprinkle again yesterday, just not happening. And I still for the life of me just don't get not curing the gel before you add the glitter. Maybe you gel experts can explain this. If you want to make sure that you have zero lifting because the gel did not cure, I would think that you would want that first layer to be cured. It wouldn't matter what you put on top of that first layer, black glitter, dense glitter, wouldn't matter. Because the first layer is cured. Now if you added your thin layer of gel, added a dense glitter, there would be a chance that the light (cured) would not get to the gel. Cure from the top down. Taking a chance that it did not cure is not worth it to me. Just don't get it. Just like ac, the first layer is what counts. Doesn't matter what you put on top, that first layer is what attaches to the natural nail. Anyway we are talking 4 minutes, 2 minutes each foot, and I am working on the other foot while the first layer is curing. And I am putting a free set on a probation officer in about 4 weeks because she is in court all day long and always wears opened toed shoes in the summer. Another advertising slam dunk!!!! hope this answered your questions. diana from indiana --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
