POLL! Products you use?

Postby anjelah84 » Tue Mar 02, 2010 7:22 pm

HI all!
I'm just wondering what acrylic product you use?
Also, if you stick with the one company or have bits and pieces?
Last of all- what brand of drill do you use? I really need to get a new one but unsure as to what brand to go for?
Also what bits? Carbide, diamond etc?
Thanks in advance!!
:D

I use Hawleys & Ez Flow, Ez Flow mainly for the colours and Hawleys for the pink & whites...

But i am switching over to Perfect nails once i use up my stocks of the other 2, i have started migrating over to Perfect Nails with clear and some pink...

As for the drill, i have a Kupa Blueberry, LOVE IT and i have a carbide drill bit and some diamond bits but i dont use them as much anymore...

Currently using nsi pink and clear as well as monomer. Youngnails colours, ezeflow colours, synergy for whites and some eBay colours too.
My drill is some rubbish from eBay. The only piece I can use that does anything is my mandrel? piece.
I know if I had a new drill I'd be using it a whole lot more! Thinking of getting the youngnails efile as it Seems to have a good review... May have to save or wait til tax time.

As for my acrylic... So undecided.. Love youngnails but some other companys seem to be getting into nail art too...
Any recs for french?

I am using Nfu.Oh Acrylic and Akzents Gel Systems (I must admit though, and not because I educate with it, but Akzents gel is the easiest and and most effortless gel that I have ever used, and I have tried lots....), I am also very excited about Odyessy Nail System. I previously used Odyssey in my salon in Sydney and used it up by the crate fulls, great product and well priced, awesome salon brand to have. As for electric nail files I have 4, 2 I spent a lot of money on and they are still working perfectly and the other two were cheaper ones (one mid range price heavy and noisy but does the job) and the other one I think I got off Ebay to try out and that has been repaired by my brother about 3 times ( I only use it for training too) - (LUCKY FOR ME HE IS A GREAT FIX IT GUY and it only costs me dinner or a BBQ) otherwise it would have cost me far more than what the drill was worth, so as they say "Buy cheap pay twice". :wink:

I use NSI and different coloured acrylics. Once I tried the NSI coloured acrylics but found them to wishy washy.
