Angie, No I'm using the microfiber towels dry and taking the dust off of the nail before I apply gel or acrylic. No need for a "wet scrub" before applying product. Then I dehydrate with a brush on dehydrator and prime.
Hope I cleared it up. ;) Simmy Bredal-Bell Vicki Peters, Inc.

Simmy, I'm confused. Are you using this microfiber towel to take some of tacky of before gel polish or to clean the natural nail with alcohol? <http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/05.gif> Angie Wingerter _____ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, August 24, 2010 11:56:33 AM Subject: Re: NailTech:: First Attempt At Gelish Nails or Soak off Gel.Jump on Board!!!

I get 35 for $17.00 at Costco they are electric yellow! You can also get light blue ones from walmart but not sure on the price. They are a little smaller than the hand towels we use in the salon setting. Simmy Bredal-Bell Vicki Peters, Inc.

Thank you for your responses AND help Nail Tech Friends : ))))) Thank you also Lynnette for being thrilled for me and leading me to Gelish. <big grin> Angie- I used the color *Samuri.* I will send you a private note today. Thank you for being there for me girl! I don't know where Diana is.... but thank you for letting me "pick your brain" tooooooooooooo! Your all SO awesome!!!!!!!! I don't know what I would do without this list~! Lynnette, when you mean gentle buffing I am wondering if you mean like using the "Girlfriend" without the shine or more of a grit ???? I used the (1) turtle that I have (lol) on 3 of the nails and a gentle touch with a 180 grit as they recommended. All nails are still doing fantastic. ( I keep looking at my nails with amazement!!!!) I am wondering if I can use a Polar buffer, and if not, which I could get that I wouldn't have to order online. Sally's is really much closer than my Beauty Supplies. I'm not opposed to the Polar buffer, but I think another type would look more like a manicure procedure. This is my humble opinion : ) Also Lynnette, I am not wiping the base coat with alcohol, only using a dry brush or lint free towel to gently swipe them before I apply the color. This was recommended. Do you do this?????? She said it makes for a smoother nail from start to finish. Maybe it really doesn't matter (?????) I trust ya girl~!!! Della West Indy In a message dated 8/23/2010 9:12:02 A.M.

I do not know what advice others will give you, but do not wipe the dispersion off until the very end. If you feel you want to make it less shiny, just use a dry brush and wipe all the nails. I only lightly buff the nails like you mentioned....VERY fine buffer as I do with my manicures. Good luck! Buenos dias!

Since I joined the group in the early summer I realized how much I am missing working by myself and just recieved my NAILS Mag the first in maybe 8yrs wow what I have missed! So I also am going to jump in and say "Thank you" to all of the gals here and the people who make these great products. Kinda makes me want to work in a salon again... NOT!
