Diana, I did the bling on my granddaughters' nails and my niece over a week ago. I had the girls this past weekend and the bling is still on. I did theirs with polish like you just described. My girls are 4 and 2. STILL ON!!!!! They did better than your teen!!! I hope to have time tomorrow night to make some samples on old OPI polish chains. I hate those things but they are collecting dust and I can make samples up. I now have 5 clients that want my french bling. I wish I showed them to you when we were in Chicago. I did them at the beginning of March and they still look great. Well I think so. I am not into wild bling and most of my clients are conservative, so this bling is good for them.

Anyway, a couple of things, If you haven't started this you need to, especially those that have empty spots in their books, It is quick, easy and dollars in your pocket. You will of course have to invest in some supplies, but so worth the expense. Gel light, alcohol, gel, brush, glitter, you are ready. Even if you have never touched gel, you can handle this, trust me, I KNOW!!!! LOLOLFind a clear soakable gel and you got it. And for those that don't want to do gel or ac, you can get on the bling train also. I think Elaine told us that you can use clear polish. Now what I have done is do a glitter fade. Take a small dampen dish and I bought a less expensive top coat at Sally's. Poured some of this top coat in the dampen dish, took my fancy Starbucks green topper (long plastic spatula thingy) add the glitter and stir. I then put the glitter/top coat mixture on the free edge (like a french) then stroke backwards, so it fades down. I do this on ac with just a base coat or on top of polish, Just let the polish dry a little first. I have tried this on the whole nail and toes only one time and was told all 20 digits peeled off within 5 hours. Now this was from a 15 year old girl, so have no idea if it peeled, or she picked. Wiping the gel, you will need some kind of pad soaked in alcohol. Lint free pads just don't get it. The little sponges the companies have are too expensive. So I went to Jo Ann Fabrics and bought foam, a yard of it and cut it up in squares. Advertising, sounds like Lynnette is doing it with pics. I am working on that, but I am using my co-workers, and they are slamming people at me!!! Also my bling/polish tree has been a big success, as soon as I get my "trees" full will get a pic for you. So if you are struggling in this economy or just starting out, Listen to us, It will get people in your chair and money in your pocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You might as well not wait, because pretty soon this will be at all salons around the corner. Might as well get into it now. so you can get your name out there!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad I went to HRTE to learn this!!!!!!!!!! diana from indiana --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
