My understanding from the distributors is that nail products sit on the shelf and don't really move. Then you have the nail pros saying I hate going to the store they never have what I want. So most either order online, via catalog, or through a sales rep. Different areas of the country seem

I have a UPower, love it and it has been going strong for about 9 years. This is the second one I have had and I would purchase another. I have had many drills over the years, and you are better off to spend a little more and get a good one, rather than buy one that you will not be happy with.

My suggestion would be to make sure you remove the shine from the nail tip before applying the sog gel. It wouldn't do you any good to make the tips very long the sog won't be strong enough. Also u can do the sog over acrylic and reg gel and then file off color if you clients really want longer na

I don't know what you should charge. You can get about 100 decals per sheet. Paper is around a dollar a sheet and the Kryolan is around five bucks. It uses up a lot of ink because you print it on the premium photo paper setting. I made them for a special project so I won't be charging anyth

If you are going to go odour free with acrylic, my suggestion is to use a UV cured product like Ultimate Lyte by Star or Acrylite by Akzentz. My experience with air cured odorless product has been that no matter what the brand, it all turned yellow. Very quicky, in some cases. I was using comple
