Hey Shannon,
How did the re-do go? Do you like Options?

I have a sciver bit by Erica, you can check it out on
www.gelzessentialz.com It is a prepping bit for cuticle work, this is an
amazing bit, does all the work for me. I Love it.

Hello to all
What is a sciver? Is that the same as the young nails cross cut??

well. You really need to be sure to remove all the cuticle off the nail plate
(I use the sciver bit with my e file), and cleanse well; especially sidewalls
and free edge with Akzentz's Nail Prep. If you aren't soaking off, then use
Affixit after the Sure Bond. Or, apply the Affixit just on the free edge to
prevent the separation. Keep in mind, Affixit does not soak off. I have also
switched to Opti Bond instead of Base and Gloss and now all my clients go at
least 3 weeks with no problems. In fact, some are more difficult to file off!
LOL! I also like to use the Options Clear as a top coat; remember to swipe a
little on the free edge as well to "cap" the gel in place.

have that, but will substitute it with protein bond for now, til I get to
HRTE in Buffalo in a week or two. The only other thing she suggested was to
wipe off the dispersion layer with acetone before applying the colored gel. So
I will try that when she comes in. Gonna re do to whole set for her. I was
hoping it would last well for her, will have to add the concrete, LOL.
Protein bond it is.

> The steps you did were correct (I'm not an Akzentz educator, but
that is how I've done it). However, if a client comes back with peeling, I then
use a primer. I like to use Young Nails Protein Bond. In fact, I ALWAYS use
Protein Bond just for that extra insurance. I don't soak off, I file off when
they come back. The protein bond seems to really hold the product on so if
you're soaking it off, it may take longer with the protein bond.
