That's very interesting and I'll give it more thought. The appeal to clients is that it's a natural nail service though and if I start e- filing off the color then that would move this service into the "artificial" category that they wish to avoid. That's the biggest drawback I can see and I honestly think it would be a deal-breaker for many of my clients. I'll keep thinking on it though.
