I don't find this to be a problem at all because: 1. We use very little polish in services therefore, we retail hardly any polish, we have it but no one gets it with their service and they don't need it for their,nails or toes at home since 95% are in acrylics or SOG.
2. The lotions. scrubs and oils that we retail (Young Nails) you can't purchase at your local beauty supply store. Our beauty supply stores have a sign on the door that you have to be licensed to enter OR be accompanied by a licensed person.
