NAIL MAINTENANCE FOR CLIENTS

PINK & WHITE ACRYLIC NAILS on HANDS or FEET

To eliminate fill-lines, you need to buff your nails with oil in between fills.  This eliminates the white "peelys" or lifting around the edge and also stops you from picking at your nails.

Products Needed:  2oz. Peach Acetone Polish Remover, Dip-Off Jar, 1/4oz. Conditioning Cuticle Oil, Zebra File (180 grit), Clean Finish Buffer (file or block), A-Coat and Z-Coat.

1.  Remove A-Coat with Peach Acetone Polish Remover.

2.  File cuticle area smooth with Zebra File, then smooth out the top surface of the nail.

3.  Apply Conditioning Cuticle Oil to cuticle area.

4.  Buff cuticle area and top of nail smooth with the Clean Finish Buffer.

5.  Clean off oil with a towel.

6.  Polish with A-Coat.  (Follow with Z-Coat if you are going to be in the sun. 
     This will keep your A-Coat from getting sticky.)

KEEPING NAILS HEALTHY while WEARING ACRYLIC NAILS

Your natural nail under the acrylic can stay healthy by keeping your nails clean.

Products Needed:  Tammy Taylor Shampoo (choose from 4 fragrances), Manicure Brush and Thymolize.

1.  Scrub your nails daily with Tammy Taylor Shampoo and plastic Manicure Brush. 
     Then apply a drop of Thymolize under the free-edge of all 10 nails.  The Thymolize should 
     kill any germs and keep the free-edge white underneath.

NATURAL NAILS 

Coming in for manicures every 1-2 weeks is a necessity with natural nails or they look shabby.  To keep your nails looking good between manicures, you will need to file your rough edges; keep your cuticles nourished and apply clear polish, or just shine the natural nails with the Shiner Block if you don't wear polish.

Products Needed:  Shaper File, Nail Nourishment, Z-Coat, Nail Hardener or Shiner Block, 2oz Peach Moisture Lotion.

1.  Smooth rough edges with Shaper File when needed.

2.  Apply Nail Nourishment daily to keep nails healthy and strong; it also keeps hangnails
     away.

3.  Apply Nail Hardener or Z-Coat every 2-3 days to keep polish from chipping or just use
     gray side of Shiner Block every 5 days to keep the natural nails shiney.

4.  Apply Peach Moisture Lotion daily to keep hands soft.
