To: nailtech@googlegroups.com Date: Wednesday, April 7, 2010, 12:28 PM Are you sure you didn’t go to my local cosmoprof?? I had the same issue with Scrubfresh! Yes they tell me that ‘Creative’ (hey have no idea what CND is) is discontinuing Srubfresh! I won’t even go near their Solar Oil. It is so old, it stinks. From my own experience, Solar Oil has to be really old for it to go rancid. They must have Solar Oil that is over 5 years old in the store. And three dollars for a single use no name nail file ... I don’t think so! I am disappointed and I will raise my hand and say that I do shop online. No more cosmoprof for me.

OK ladies.. you mostly all know I don't do nails much any more.. but occasionally I do and occasionally I need some supplies.. Cosmoprof is right around the corner so I headed there in my errand marathon yesterday.. the CND Gel Bond I needed was not for nails, but I had to repair something :) Love this part.. 2 employees, both in the back room - which isn't really a room, but a 3/4 high partition wall.. neither saw me come in, which leads to neither acknowledged my presence, which leads to not asking me if I had a card/license to shop there.. both talking VERY loud and laughing back there.. I find my Gel Bond on 30 seconds flat and wander around looking at what they [did not] have on the shelves.. there was I must admit a decent amount of CND, OPI, sundries and a dappling of other brands.. enough that you could actually buy things you need.. but.. the bigger question was how old was it all?? I was soon to find out :) I didn't NEED that big tube of glue.. I REALLY only needed the little one, but they didn't have any of the little ones, so I was sorta stuck coughing up $7.60 for the big one. I head over to the register - one of the 2 clerks finally appeared and now asks me for my card, which I produce. I ask her, "Have you got any of the smaller tubes?" I get an immediate "no" reply. OK then.. lets get this done with.. She now starts to ring it up, there is some confusion, she marches over to the shelves and starts looking for where they are.. I have to point it out to her.. She comes back to the register and does some more typing and announces to me, "oh that's why... this product is being discontinued." I said I didn't think so.. she says oh yes.. they aren't making this any more that's why I had trouble looking it up. Yea sure.. CND stop making Gel Bond?? I'm highly doubting that thought process, but whatever.. it is useless to go down that yellow brick road with this girl.. Now the best part.. she says: what does this "stuff" do?? it is for gel nails? After a nano second of OMG shock, I gave her my best nail tech educated response about it's use, application, why you need it over Krazy Glue (which she says is what SHE uses to apply tips). The clerk doesn't ask me if I want a bag, she simply drops the tube in my open purse.. I pay my $8.15 and bid my adieu.. This morning I fish the tube out of my purse and go get the piece from the fridge I needed to glue. Next, experience tells me I need to take the entire cap off, poke the foil protector thingie there and replace the entire cap. Done with that, I remove the cap and gently squeeze praying the gel will not just keep coming out eternally but if done properly you can "reverse squeeze" and stop the flow.. I squeeze.. nothing.. I squeeze a little more nothing.. now I remove the entire cap and there is just enough gel there protruding from the foil protection thingie for what I need.. BUT.. if you ever used Gel Bond that was OLD, you know it becomes like melted string cheese and thats what this was.. Knowing better, I applied it any way.. It has been well over an hour and it still has not glued the 2 pieces together.. Of course the tube and receipt are now sitting on the counter ready to be returned in the next errand run. Personally.. if I was still doing nails full time I would be mail ordering everything.. never set foot in anything other than Sally's cause they have the best triple cotton balls at the best price..
