I spoke to Roxanne V the other day.. the SMALL tube was discontinued,
not cost effective is what she said.. but the large tube remains in the line

Ok so I too was told at Schonemans<our local supplier> now owned by
Sally's that CND's gel bond was discontinued ??? Hmmmm wonder if it

OK ladies.. you mostly all know I don't do nails much any more.. but
occasionally I do and occasionally I need some supplies.. Cosmoprof
is right around the corner so I headed there in my errand marathon
yesterday.. the CND Gel Bond I needed was not for nails, but I had
to repair something :)
Love this part.. 2 employees, both in the back room - which isn't
really a room, but a 3/4 high partition wall.. neither saw me come
in, which leads to neither acknowledged my presence, which leads to
not asking me if I had a card/license to shop there.. both talking
VERY loud and laughing back there..
I find my Gel Bond on 30 seconds flat and wander around looking at
what they [did not] have on the shelves.. there was I must admit a
decent amount of CND, OPI, sundries and a dappling of other brands..
enough that you could actually buy things you need.. but.. the
bigger question was how old was it all?? I was soon to find out :)
I didn't NEED that big tube of glue.. I REALLY only needed the
little one, but they didn't have any of the little ones, so I was
sorta stuck coughing up $7.60 for the big one. I head over to the
register - one of the 2 clerks finally appeared and now asks me for
my card, which I produce. I ask her, "Have you got any of the
smaller tubes?" I get an immediate "no" reply. OK then.. lets get
this done with.. She now starts to ring it up, there is some
confusion, she marches over to the shelves and starts looking for
where they are.. I have to point it out to her.. She comes back to
the register and does some more typing and announces to me, "oh
that's why... this product is being discontinued." I said I didn't
think so.. she says oh yes.. they aren't making this any more that's
why I had trouble looking it up. Yea sure.. CND stop making Gel
Bond?? I'm highly doubting that thought process, but whatever.. it
is useless to go down that yellow brick road with this girl..
Now the best part.. she says: what does this "stuff" do?? it is for
gel nails? After a nano second of OMG shock, I gave her my best nail
tech educated response about it's use, application, why you need it
over Krazy Glue (which she says is what SHE uses to apply tips).
The clerk doesn't ask me if I want a bag, she simply drops the tube
in my open purse.. I pay my $8.15 and bid my adieu..
This morning I fish the tube out of my purse and go get the piece
from the fridge I needed to glue. Next, experience tells me I need
to take the entire cap off, poke the foil protector thingie there
and replace the entire cap. Done with that, I remove the cap and
gently squeeze praying the gel will not just keep coming out
eternally but if done properly you can "reverse squeeze" and stop
the flow.. I squeeze.. nothing.. I squeeze a little more nothing..
now I remove the entire cap and there is just enough gel there
protruding from the foil protection thingie for what I need.. BUT..
if you ever used Gel Bond that was OLD, you know it becomes like
melted string cheese and thats what this was.. Knowing better, I
applied it any way.. It has been well over an hour and it still has
not glued the 2 pieces together..
Of course the tube and receipt are now sitting on the counter ready
to be returned in the next errand run.
Personally.. if I was still doing nails full time I would be mail
ordering everything.. never set foot in anything other than Sally's
cause they have the best triple cotton balls at the best
price.. Read all about my Shopping Theory on the new News Bytes
section of the site..
