good luck. I don't understand that either. Our inspector always says he can smell it as soon as he walks into a place, but that's even more reason to wonder why they all still use it! I have them come in all the time with that junk on, and as you say, it's impossible to get off. Even though I do try to educate people on their practices, I think a lot of them don't really take it too seriously, and I'm afraid they think I'm just talking about my "competition". I try to just explain in a factual way, but while some of them are happy for the information and never want to go near one of those places again, I can see some others either not caring at all, or looking at me like I'm just crazy. And does CND even make Solar Nails anymore? Or "soda nails" as they call it? I had a woman in a couple of weeks ago that swore up and down they were using the "real" Solar nails and had a big jar of acrylic powder with the brand name "Solar Nails" written across it. Like they couldn't refill that jar with whatever they wanted? It is very discouraging to me, because I know if I came in and tried to do nails or skin without a license or using illegal products or methods, I would be fined, run out of town or worse. But these people get away with it all day long every day. Nothing ever seems to happen to them.
