Hi Angela, I use Prescription nails alot. I have even converted some acrylic clients to these. I tell clients that they last a week to 10 days to cover myself because they are obviously not as strong as acrylic, but I do have clients that get these every two weeks and do very well. It just depends on how fast their nails grow out. I also use the Dashing Diva virtual french nails. They are very popular with my clients as well. I charge $25 for Prescription nails. If they want gel polish or glitter and gel I charge and extra $7, for the virtual french I charge $30. I use vaseline under the nails before application and I hydrate with alcohol. I do use the glue that comes with it or I also use the CND gel bond like Rhonda said. For a new client it takes me about an hour to put a set on, longer if I use gel polish over them. For repeat clients about 45 min because I have already recorded what sizes they need and have them set out before they arrive. A soak off and repply for a current client is around 1 hr and 45. Good luck!

The cheap places in my town charge about $20 to $25 for a set of acrylic and they use mma and give lovely rings of fire. I am hoping that I can get some of the girls that go to the school dances to get these instead. Also how long do you tell them that they should last? Thanks for any help you can give me.
