@Betsy Deitte Good eye for details! I didn't think about flash curing each nail to prevent pooling (an issue I tend to have with seniors). I typically polish 2-3 nails then have them place hand into light, but I might try your technique.

Hello, I live near Tampa, FL. I am a retired teacher turned salon suite owner and a nail tech. I am working on improving steps/speed, comparing reputable products, and mastering dual forms.

Hi Betsy, I just started following you this week! I love the fact that you bring your nursing background to this field. Science is what brought me here! I recently watched an LE Power Hour that explains how to choose the right gels for your clients: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPR8qPu1RiI&list=PLBoP3VgPpPtIbsxjX5azaRJT_Ax2aw_j5&index=6 Hope this helps!

Hello, I am Gina Townsend, a retired science specialist, turned nail tech, turned salon suite owner. I have loved nails since the age of 3 and finally turned my passion into a part-time career when I retired from the public school system. When I retired to FL, I saw an opportunity to help other small business owners start their journey, so I opened a salon suite! I operate out of one of my suites, but running that business takes most of my time, so I'm always seeking comraderie and education to improve my nail tech skills.
