To: [email protected] grrr this may not work as I want,.. to invite you to be an author, you need to be a word press user.. when you get the invite let me know if it allows you to register without making our own blog. I may have to move the blog into beautytech.info directly.. Reason and purpose.. correct all the misinformation being portrayed in all avenues of media recently. I've got 4 posts there already and several more I want to respond to. I have all the info I put up on the consumer site I can carry over to there also. You can do as I did rebutt these awful articles, correct their mis-information in public - something I do not think is being done anywhere currently. Or just state your facts stand alone, not as an actual rebutal. Deb At 11:43 PM 7/22/2010, you wrote: Tell me what to do and I'm on it xoxo Holly L.

To: [email protected] gee whiz Jill I don;t see my response, thats why I was up till 4.30 starting this blog thing :) it's starting to grow.. now I gotta spread the word :) Still havent had one of you guys step up to the late to help educate :) http://beautytechinfo.wordpress.com At 10:17 PM 7/22/2010, you wrote: I just posted my reply to this stupid "news" story and saw yours (Debbie's) was the first! It's just irritating because 2 weeks ago I tried to get a client to try the Shellac, but she wouldn't. She was afraid because of some news story that said it was bad for you. I grilled her because I hadn't heard about this news story, but she couldn't tell me the details....just that it was bad. Of course I didn't force it on her, but I did tell her I'd look into it to see what the heck she was talking about. So I just forwarded this "news" story to her and told her to read the replies at the bottom and that I was "Ky. nail tech"!
