YAY!!!!!

Im glad to see a message board for Nail Techs. I've been doing nails for almost 14 years... I hope to meet others Nail Tech!!! Traci

Hi Traci, Wow!! 14 years, How long does it take you to do a fill? 15 mins? I have been doing nails for about 4 1/2 years now. Chris

yeah actually it does only take 14 mins for a fill and 20 - 30 for a set depending on the person's nails..... What products do u use.. i alwaysed used Tammy Taylor.... tried the others but always came back, but thats what i learned on..... dont do them much anymore, doing nails take a toll on the hands. I would actually be ashamed if anyone saw mine right now...lol Traci

HI Traci, I have been using Creative Moxie & Retention, Do you find that you have less lifting with T.Taylor? I have never tried it but have thought about it many times. Do you use a drill or do you file by hand? I do everything by hand and my fills take about 45mins. I have tried using a drill but i guess i just don't feel comfortable enough with it. Right now, all I use a drill for is my pink & white backfills. My nails are looking pretty bad too. The last thing i want to do after working a long day is work on my own. I am sure you can relate. lol.. Chris

i did have less lifting with TT. I love their primer. To me it was the best out there. I like TT because its a softer acrylic and it doesn't take as much work to do the filing.. I do all my filing by hand. I never use a drill unless im doing a backfill. i just never liked them much. and oh yeah i can definately relate...lol i almost hate to look at my nails now..... Traci

hey traci, i have done nails for 20 yrs, and have tried different nail products, but usually return to creative nails. i used a buffalo drill, and it was so easy, comfortable and light weight, just like pencil in hand. i have taught nail, and cos. I no longer do nails, not even my own lol. if anyone wants or is looking for nail tool, it is new, and in excellent shape. i never had lifting, ridges, or any problems, all acylic nails. becky 15 yrs, po 235/126 DS
