Re: NailTech:: Product use survey
I love design tips on myself when I'm in a hurry - glitter, pink, silver, red, black...and I have clients who like the designed ones with flowers. They are usually mostly clear looking with a design on the well. Those are full well but clear - the colored ones I use are short contact curved smile line. Becky F. Kansas City, Mo.

Just use the MACRO setting on your camera, usually designated with a flower or a flowerpot icon. It allows you to take photos real close. For lighting, I just angle my table lamp until I get the shine or line of light where I want it. I then fill the ENTIRE scene with my shot, I then take a deep breath, hold it and then take the photo. This prevents me from shaking. I take six shots, three with hands right over left and three with left over right. This way, I end up with at least one awesome shot.

Re: NailTech:: Okay, I'm an idiot, Transfer foil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't use adhesive. I've used six types of gel polish and Martha's foils, dollar nail artsome cheap stuff all work. You have to be quick and I've run in to the problem of the sticky layer seeming to be gone; try again... that area will eventually pull the foil off. Promise, it works... persist.

Maybe you kept trying, which is what I did to start, and it just wasn't sticky anymore. I actually had to write it down because I couldn't frigging remember which side to use...my clients crack up at my non memory moments! So it is NON colored side down...I usually use 3 colors...I tap one in random spots...2 nd in other random spots...by the time I do the third..I need some adhesive because it isn't sticking anymore Hope this helps...

Creative was showing their new additives and she was using transfer foil She had small little squares that she said she cut up, she then kind of krinkled it up and just taped it on the nail (cured and sticky layer still on). It was too cool and awesome and so about ME because I have zero artist in me! hehehe So that weekend I went everywhere and searched for transfer foil, none to be found. So went to Michaels last week and found Martha Stewart transfer foil and bought one to test out. Well, it doesn't work. What the hell?? Well first of all, silver down or up? Looks like silver down, color up?? But it would transfer. Is this brand tooo thick? I thought craft transfer foil was the same as our foil?

Re: NailTech:: Nails curling away from AC
Amy, my nails do it too. They just DO. I always zip out the very edge of my nail with my efile and seal with brush on adhesive then spray with Let's Go. It's nice to say they are her nails, but reality is, if they've always done it, they always will. I've tried everything. The best results I've had is using protein bond on the free edge.

Re: NailTech:: The Shellac Just Peeled Off My Nails! Really?
I have not had a single client with issues that weren't remedied by using protein bond. Those clients get the talk that their service is more of an enhancement type, because removal is a little more difficult.

Really? Hi Teks, My rant for today: I had a new client come in last Friday to have the shellac put on. I did the usual manicure and prep, and applied the shellac like I have been doing it (successfully!) for the last 2 years. So.. the client calls me today, and asks me if I have time to fix a couple of nails. huh? FIX!? What do you mean by fix? Client: Well, I had 4 of them that just peeled off! The one peeled off the very next day! Visions of me fixing her peeling shellac nails in an eternity shrouded in HELL swirled thru my mind! OH NO YOU DON'T my mind shouted! I quickly explained that if she were ALREADY experiencing peeling (meaning, OH BOY DID I EVER HAVE FUN PEELINGTHIS SHELLAC STUFF OFF MY NAILS AND NOW THERE WILL BE EVEN MORE FUN WATCHING THAT NAIL TECH FIX THEM SO I CAN PEEL THEM OFF AGAIN!) I explained that she just might NOT be a good candidate for the Shellac and that since some had already peeled off, we would not be able to re-apply the Shellac to those nails because the surface that the Shellac was adhering to probably peeled off with the Shellac and now we would have to soak off the rest of them and, well, I don't know.. wink wink.. probably just do a regular plain ole manicure! Oh, boy was SHE ever shocked! lol! She stammered a few seconds, then I started offering her some appt. times to have the rest soaked off and a plain ole manicure done. hehehe! She scheduled for a Saturday appt. but then called back later, left a message on my machine that she forgot she had a tire appt on Saturday.. yea.. right... geesh... I am thinking she actually DID pick them off, and expected me to re-do them for free! NOT! My mom came in today to have HER Shellac re-done... lets see.. that would be 3 freakin weeks ago I put the stuff on and it was friggin PERFECT! With her gardening! and Cleaning! and scrubbing pots and pans! And cooking Easter Dinner!? Hmph!

I have been very happy being able to mix OPI colors into gel polish and they are true to the color in the bottle unlike their Gelcolor line being way off.. I think it's a great idea to mix some colors you can use as art - gold, silver, glitter etc. On Mar 23, 2012 6:21 AM, Aimee Nails urnai...@earthlink.net wrote: I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and am so glad I bought it!

Re: NailTech:: Checking on Charisma users, Was: Charismanail special
Lysa told me the additive has not been tested with crackle or magnetic polishes. I would think it might change the component of the polish that allows it to crack, but I can't see why it would interfere with the magnetic polish?

So I just got the one color. And I have to agree I am not liking it either. It shrinks from the free edge horribly. Nails looked like a french except all color after trying to cap edges. She said it peeled up within 3 days. I will only use it for nailart now. I have not had time to mix chrasima yet. Has anyone tried it with crackle polishes?

Re: NailTech:: Swarovski
I've bought from eBay tons of times for hot fix Swarovski crystals, and 3mm is kind of big for nailart, but they do go smaller. I've often thought of using them for nails but if you cover them with polish they lose their sparkle, so how would you adhere them?? On a finished nail, I guess I would use nail glue and not topcoat them if you want them to be as sparkly as possible.

I bought them in gross quantities (144) and they *are* fabulous.

Lysa says UV is 2 minutes, LED is 30 seconds. For white and really dark colors, you may want to do a minute. I haven't used LED yet, but I have been using UV very successfully with 2 minutes.

Re: NailTech:: I'm annoyed
Educate them. That's all you need to do. I explain exactly what they're getting at the other places and invite their non-English speaking techs to refute it. I also emphasise that I do speak English and I can explain every aspect of their service. I then ask if they can get that there. Then I nod and say, exactly. You get what you pay for. Bottom line, NSS serve a purpose. They are the Walmart of the industry. Plain and simple, if that's the type of service you want, then help yourself.

Re: NailTech:: Transfer foils on gels
It's very random and looks really cool, to get complete coverage, you need to use adhesive. On Feb 9, 2012 8:15 AM, Michele . shelly...@hotmail.com wrote: I've done this a lot. I never use the glue.

Re: NailTech:: Help-- I need a solution!
Maggie, How can you be certain no variables have changed? With her, with your prep, with your productsthere are so many variables it's difficult to narrow it down. You will need to honestly look at every aspect and try to identify the problem. My first step would be to look at the lamp you're using. I have had much success adding protein bond to the very edge of the nail for better adhesion. Have you tried this? I am not having the issue of people not being able to wear the polish after this long, but 85% of my clients have acrylic on as well. The natural clients don't seem to be having the issue...

RE: NailTech:: Charismanail special - only until tomorrow!
It's 8 oz, so if you use up to the 50% measurement in each 1 oz bottle that would be a half ounce per bottle making 16 bottles of gel polish. You will use less with some colors. I would recommend one bottle to see what you think! I just did the math, that's $3.18 to make one color into gel polish. Since one normal bottle of polish can make TWO bottles of gel polish when the additive is mixed in, and each polish runs about $8 a bottle these days (some much less) that's $11.18 for TWO bottles of gel polish. Oops, add in the cost of the polish bottle ($1.25) and to make two bottles of your own polish, it runs $12.43 or $6.21 per bottle. You can't buy gel polish at that low price from anyone. Today I'm going to mix a very dark color and some CND effects. The effects are so versatile in changing a regular polish color I think that will go a long way in making more color options for people.

Lauren, I used the additive to the 50% line with every color I mixed, I then added between 30-50% in polish depending on the color.

Re: NailTech:: Trying LED again...Gelish lamp
I will keep you posted! I just ordered Lysa Comfort's Charisma additive to turn any polish into gel polish and I'm still waiting on my LED lamp, so once it's all in my hands, I will be a happy girl! On Feb 3, 2012 9:46 PM, db...@iquest.net wrote: Becky, let me know how it works. I use Shellac and Gelish also. Use Eco and Young Nails, but would love to have a lamp to cover all. Can't wait to try Elaines new lamp, waiting for info. And waiting for everyone to smooth out the opi issues. But I agree with you, I need shorter times, and if I had shorter time would only need one lamp, I have two. Also, I haven't hit the ped gel polish yet because of lamp issues. Just takes longer than 3 minutes sometimes. I want the control over it. thanks becky for trying it all out. diana from indiana Quoting Becky enhandsme...@gmail.com: So last year I purchased the Gelish 9g lamp, used it for a week... all clients returned with their polish peeling and sliding off. I was told it was a five-finger lamp, which was erroneous. I returned the $360 lamp and went back to my trusty UV Shellac lamp. Crisis averted Yesterday, I went to Allure nail supply (allurenailsupply.com) who has the 18g Gelish lamp. They allowed me to play and test the lamp with their own hands and we did several placement tests and color/manufacturer tests. The fingers were all cured nicely and the time savings is a dream. This supplier has the OPI lamp as well. I compared the differences and since the Gelish lamp is $75 less, I am going with it. I didn't have the cash that day, so I put it on hold with a down payment and will pick it up in a couple of weeks. I primarily use Gelish and Shellac. I have several other polish companies that I am really liking (INK brand GP are $9.50 and are AMAZING with color choices and the way it goes on/sets up) I still have the start-to-finish setup for Shellac and will use it as a designer manicure (because of the requirement to use the entire line) but the LED polish lines are going to cost me less and take less time. I will also change accordingly, meaning a Shellac manicure will be more. I hope Shellac will get on the LED bandwagon, although when they do, I'm sure they will have their own lamp that we will have to wait months for. :) I'm excited about the LED lamp and speeding up my time which allows me to work a little slower and quit destroying my body.

NailTech:: Trying LED again...Gelish lamp
So last year I purchased the Gelish 9g lamp, used it for a week... all clients returned with their polish peeling and sliding off. I was told it was a five-finger lamp, which was erroneous. I returned the $360 lamp and went back to my trusty UV Shellac lamp. Crisis averted Yesterday, I went to Allure nail supply (allurenailsupply.com) who has the 18g Gelish lamp. They allowed me to play and test the lamp with their own hands and we did several placement tests and color/manufacturer tests. The fingers were all cured nicely and the time savings is a dream. This supplier has the OPI lamp as well. I compared the differences and since the Gelish lamp is $75 less, I am going with it. I didn't have the cash that day, so I put it on hold with a down payment and will pick it up in a couple of weeks. I primarily use Gelish and Shellac. I have several other polish companies that I am really liking (INK brand GP are $9.50 and are AMAZING with color choices and the way it goes on/sets up) I still have the start-to-finish setup for Shellac and will use it as a designer manicure (because of the requirement to use the entire line) but the LED polish lines are going to cost me less and take less time. I will also change accordingly, meaning a Shellac manicure will be more. I hope Shellac will get on the LED bandwagon, although when they do, I'm sure they will have their own lamp that we will have to wait months for. :) I'm excited about the LED lamp and speeding up my time which allows me to work a little slower and quit destroying my body.

Re: NailTech:: black spots on nails

That is how the other one started and now it is growing out and having separation on the side wall. I'm sure it is a fungus but what could cause this?

Re: NailTech:: 2 years of soak off gel polish
Is the polish itself getting old? I have seen some discrepancies with my polishes from bottle to bottle (Black Shadow by Gelish is an example. My first bottle was coal black, nice and thick black pigment... the second bottle is smokey and watered down looking, very irritating because it pulls back from the free edge now and my first bottle didn't.)

As of yesterday, to eliminate all Cosmetology and Barber licensing is now up for a vote in the House and Senate. This means that there will be no licensing, no schools, no regulation. The schooling and license you have now will mean nothing. This means that anyone off the street can do hair, nails, tanning, waxing, anything. I have no idea how this will be handled by the supply houses, because they only sell to those that are licensed. All new ball game for all manufacturers.

The ROEC committee basically says that if the consumer is hurt, they can hire an attorney, if they get a bad hair cut, they can switch to another salon, buyer beware. But Government regulation is not needed. Please read the report. As for all of the non Indiana techs on here, If one state does this, others will follow.

Re: NailTech:: To all of my ex-owner club friends:
I made it five years before my compulsive need to control my stylists and techs took over and I said enough even though they were IC, that isn't seen or known by the general public and the actual salon owner fields complaints. Ugh... the thought made the back of my neck hot! I now rent a small room in a fitness center all by my little self!

That way, you only have to depend on yourself and don't have to worry about others. Yes, the income that they generate helps, however, sometimes that income is not worth the headaches that come with it. I am in year seven (seven and a half to be exact) and I am nearing burnout myself. (OMG did I finally just admit that?) I know I have to make some changes in the new year. I know I can't continue at the pace I am going. It's not healthy. So, kudos to you for taking care of YOURSELF first. Everything will work out, it always does. You will be fine. HUGS!

Re: NailTech:: Booth Rent
If you're paying a percentage she should be supplying all products and equipment. If you're supplying all of your products and equipment, you need to agree on a rental price. Ask to pay $50 a week for six months and increase as is appropriate in your area. There are rules that distinguish between a booth renter and an employee, I recommend that you find that information and use it to your advantage. There are so many salon owners that don't have a clue what they're doing. These rules go to the kind of licensing you need as well, read up! She's making out well if you're supplying everything AND paying a commissionwill you come clean my house and pay me for being allowed to? ;-) On Dec 13, 2011 4:09 AM, Patricia Arsenault ta200...@yahoo.com wrote: My fellow techs.
