Angie, I mostly get mine from Nailite, Buynail,? Premier, about 2-3$ for a hundred. Usually just get the med grit.? The only trouble I have ever had was with the mandrels that you put the band on.?

Angie, KUPA makes the best sanding bands. They are very consistent size wise and stay sharp longer than the cheaper ones. The also make a great easy off rubber mandrel that's fantastic!

NailTech:: Re: Rubber stamps on nails
Oh Michelle, that is a blast from the past.? We used stamps YEARS ago. There may even be something in the archives here to tell you even more than I remember.? There was a set that Crayola Crayons had on the end of what looked like markers that were great. Used the paw print for Penn State nails forever. You have to make sure that the polish is very dry. And you need to be steady and firm when pressing it on. Dry for a few min.(I usually use a fan) and topcoat. If you were using it on colored gel I would clean the sticky and buff slightly with a buffer , stamp and dry. Seal with your sealer coat and cure. As I remember? I used it a lot with air brush frenchs and designs.

NailTech:: Re: Rubber stamps on nails
When I've used them, I used acrylic paint. Make sure that your polish is very dry. Add a couple of drops or paint to a polish remover pad to make a stamp pad, pounce the stamp onto the pad then apply to the nail. Start with one side and rock to the other size, depending on size to ensure that you stamp the entire image on the nail's curved surface. Be sure to clean stamp well. Dried acrylic paint and rubber stamps don't like each other.

NailTech:: Re: Need info
Michelle, I would be careful going to cheap with pricing. Its not the easiest thing to raise your prices. I would give major discounts or promotions but leave your price what you need it to be in 6 months or a year. You could run a special for a free full set (including the soak-off) with payment at that time for their first refill. Refill has to take place in two weeks, no later. If they don't come back for the fill then you have at least half of your money. If they come in for a fill they are more likely to become a regular and see your work is worth the price.

NailTech:: Re: Rubber stamps on nails
Michelle Look at the amount of product on the stamp. Should be kinda dry. I use the Konad stamping system. They have a special polish.

NailTech:: Re: tips and wraps
I use whatever powder I have. Right now I have some glitters from Nailworkz - Lina is the name I think. I should clarify because I was walking and texting a few minutes ago:) I used to dip them like Star and Backscratchers teach but then an educator with Linen Batiste, which no longer exists, showed me a way that was faster. She dipped a brush from brush-on resin into the powder just like it was a regular acrylic brush and put her ball of product down and moved it around a bit like gel. It hardens up quickly so you have to move fast. I use Star brush on self activating resin and the Star So Fine spray on gel cure activator. It makes a pretty sturdy nail and its what I have on right now. I do a set in under 30 minutes and they soak off uber fast. You could maintain them, the client just has to oil up twice daily. I charge 30 dollars for a set and include the soak off. Most of the youngins who get them will usually (and unfortunately) pick them off so I don't see too many removals. I started doing them about 6 or 7 years ago when I was inundated with princesses who wanted nails for prom and would then being their mothers with them two days later to try to get their money back because they really didn't want nice gels. It got so that I dreaded June, lol I can video it over the weekend if you want to see it.
