Our state (Minnesota) has gone over to one time use files. The law specifically states one time use of any porous item. We found some fairly cheep files at nailite that seem ok, but the salon owner is still cringing at the cost. Any suggestions on sanatizable files out there? She is asking me to

The Mani-Q color by Young Nails is solvent free, in a bottle. It isn't supposed to thicken or evaporate... I haven't had my bottles long enough to test that theory, but I am loving the product! Great colors and only the really dark colors have a possibility of wrinkling. Keep it thin, thin, thin

Some of the Gelish colors will soak off without buffing, but some don't, so I just always do it. As far as filling, I just soak off every time. Most people want to change the color anyway, but if they don't, I think filling chances lifting. It's better to start from scratch. On Aug 8, 7:30 am, L
