The biggest lie in the nail industry
These tools cannot be washed or disinfected! Traditional abrasive nail files and foam buffers are made from porous or layered materials that trap nail dust, skin cells and microorganisms within their surfaces and crevices. Washing removes some visible debris, but it does not prove that microorganisms have been removed or destroyed. Disinfection requires the disinfectant to reach contaminated surfaces at the correct concentration and for the required contact time. 🧼 You cannot reliably guarantee this throughout a porous, layered implement simply by washing it or spraying it with alcohol. Unless a tool has a manufacturer-validated reprocessing method and reuse is permitted by your local regulations, treat it as single-use and discard it after each client. If you cannot reliably clean and disinfect a tool, you cannot safely reuse it on another client! ❌

@Chloe Payne otherwise you can set them in really hot water for a bit as well or get a scraper. I like the less waste and then being firmer and I find they don’t cut clients like the cardboard ones

@Chloe Payne yeah I have seen that to I have one file for each of my clients so I use the same one for a few times and then replace to use I get a good amount and of use out of it
Gel x tip on wide thumbs
Hey guys I have been so MIA lately but I remembered someone asking about wide thumbs a few weeks ago and I had my client with wide thumbs in today and thought I would show you how I work around it I forgot to mention I use a 00 tip. Please ignore the state of my nails xx

@Chloe Payne I don’t find it affects her because her nail is so short and wide the apex ends up in the right place for her nail anyway.
