I HAVE to say something here...please be gentle with me you guys! ok right now my nails are a mess cause of the chemo, but for YEARS and YEARS I wore acrylic (and before that... wraps) and have never been a glove wearer. OK I did have a housekeeper for many of those years but...I DO preserve tomatoes and have raised 3 kids....cooking, daily cleaning, bathing them etc. I even had 2 dogs...my nails didn't come off unless I picked them or bit them off. That was either when I did them or others did them.... so....gloves may keep them nicer but I don't think they play THAT big of a part in nails staying on. I had a large clientele ...both in Florida and NY and barely any of them used gloves on a daily basis....and they, save 1 or 2, never had problems! (The "preserving the tomatoes" part really got me! We do like 250 jars every year! The food processor does the work...we don't squish them by hand! ) JMHO...please be gentle....

She was complaining about "Well I don't know what went wrong blah, blah" and being somewhat boorish about it. I noticed yellowy stains all around the outside edges, which were horribly lifted and coming off in chunks when I filed. I went through my mental checklist, like I tell my students: prep and related products, dust removal, filing new growth properly, clean lamp, good bulbs, not mixing products, the whole 9 yards. Before I got partway through, she says, "I was preserving tomatoes this weekend without gloves - would that do it" Geez ya think??? :D Nicole Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry From: [email protected] Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:44:38 +0000 To: <[email protected]> Subject: NailTech:: Re: Vent Scrubbing the sink with bleach without gloves... Not a good thing...

I have my nails done with this and have no probs. She is the only one. The last time I did her she had ink on her fingertips and some stains on her nails. She must be using her fingernails for tools. I don't know. She also told me she was scrubbing her sink with bleach the last time I did her. I honestly don't think its my prep or my bulbs. I just called the girl that works in my salon about her nails that I did the same thing on and she said they are great and no one else has complained either. I think sometimes people want something for nothing. I'm not trying to place blame but it really bothers me when some thing doesn't go right I always want to fix it.

Are you curing for the correct amount of time? Are you prepping the natural nail correctly? Are you having problems with this one client or all gel clients?

Then I redid them sat she calls me today and says she only has 3 left on. What the hell! I don't get it. I know she's been scrapbooking and embossing. I've never had this prob before. She says they are peeling off. I guess I'm gonna try acrylics but if that doesn't work I give up. Thanks for letting me vent. Brenda.
