Shannon, Go to http://www.nailiteinc and look at their lamps. NO need to spend lots of money on lamps. I use theirs. Also you can get two for their price but you do not need a separate one for feet!! Not at $55 a lamp. But from Nailite you can. Buenos dias, Lynnette Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

Now for those that do toes, do you need a seperate one for toes? If not, how do you clean or sanitize? Any suggestions on a middle of the road lamp? I am looking at one on gel essentials? (not sure on the spelling) for $55.00 and the replacement bulbs do not look too expensive. I think I am going to try the Akentz soakable also. From the posts I have been reading they seem to be good (even if they are a bit pricey). My salon owner just gave me the ok to start the gels(we are organic but I pleaded my case about odorless, the soakables are good for color not chipping, etc...tough economic times have made her reconsider) ----- Original Message ----- From: shannon To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 10:42 PM Subject: NailTech:: Re: HELP FAST Akzentz soakable gels so far so good, now that I know I have to use Protein bond or opti bond. I only did 3 fixes on her, not the whole set, so will have to call her and see how they are doing, she is a good one to let me know of any issues and havent heard from her. Shannon, did you get your package ok? Have you tried it yet? If so how is it going?

Is that the same as the young nails cross cut?? Nicole T On Mar 6, 6:18 pm, teresa heppenheimer <[email protected]> wrote: > I had problems in the beginning of my use of the Options line as 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. > > Hope this helps! > > Teresa > > Ontario, Canada > > From: [email protected] > Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2009 15:05:11 -0500 > Subject: NailTech:: Re: HELP FAST Akzentz soakable gels > To: [email protected] > > I have opti bond and have used it and find my protein bond works just fine.

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. > > thanks for your help!!! > > Shannon Arnold > Flip Flop Beauty Shop > Coopers Plains, NY > [email protected] > > --- On Fri, 3/6/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > > From: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Subject: NailTech:: Re: HELP FAST Akzentz soakable gels > To: [email protected] > Date: Friday, March 6, 2009, 2:17 PM > > 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. > > Do you have Opti Bond from Akzentz? That works well too.
