Your health and safety and that of your clients is of the utmost importance, salon based, home based or mobile the same health & safety procedures apply. The guidelines outlined here should be followed each and every day. Firstly maintain proper personal hygiene and grooming. Don't wear heavy make-up or perfume. Your image and demeanor talks volums about you... Prior to each and every treatment you and your client should thoroughly wash your hands. Hand washing is the single most important thing you can implement to control infections by reducing the transfer of microorganisms from one person to another. All your instruments, tools and implements should be disinfected prior to servicing each client. Disinfect your table and change towels in front of your client which will ressure her/him. If blood is drawn during a procedure disinfect the implement before continuing with the service. If the blood came into contact with an orange stick, nail file or other dispoable item, discard it at the end of the service or give it to your client. Do not use on another client! Dispoable items should be used where possiable to reduce contamination and save time. Discard disposables immediately after each client in a metal dustbin ideally. Those contaminated with blood should be sealed in a plastic bag before being discarded effectively being double wrapped. Recommend any clients with questionable nail conditions to seek medical advice. Don't take the risk for a few pounds to put your health and those of others at risk. Proper ventilation is essential as it reduices your exposure to airbourne particles/dust or bacteria as well inhalation of chemical fumes, creating a healither enviroment. Please remember odour less products still require ventilation. If you can't smell it - it does not mean the chemical fumes don't exist. MSDS - Material Safety Data Sheet should be on file for each and every product you purchase. MSDS sheets are to ensure you understand the make-up of the chemicals you are working with and explains the necessary precautions to take in its useage. Read and follow all manufacturer's instructions, warnings and cautions before using any product/chemical. Take note of storage and shelf life. Note the proper disposal of chemicals. Never pour Acetone down the toilet, sink or drain. Never heat chemicals - It has been known for someone to heat Acetone in a microwave and it expolded leaving her with 3rd degree burns. If you have plastic pipe it will melt/erode the pipe work. If in doubt contact your local Council. There are eco-friendly ways to get rid of your waste product. Nail chemicals are safe with proper handling. Sorry for stating the obvious never store chemicals under the stairs. That goes for any chemicals as it is a fire risk. As a true professional obtain continuing education from manufacturers or generic industry sources such as this blog from Hot Nails Direct. Education is the key ingredient in the devlopment of enchancing any career. Inform clients of proper nail care between visits and don't be afraid to sell them maintenance products.

Here are the instructions for the use of DUEL SYSTEM FREEFORM Popits which may be used again and again! 1. Prepare the natural nails using the same procedure you would always follow for your brand of product. 2. You may apply tips at this stage but it is optional. 3. Sanitise the natural nails and allow to dry. 4. If you brand requires it - apply primer to the natural nail only and let dry. 5. Choose the 10 DUEL SYSTEM FREEFORM Popits that fit each individual nail exactly from side wall to side wall and then lay then out. (Make sure the Popits are not to big). 6. Fill the DUEL SYSTEM FREEFORM Popits just short of the length of DUEL SYSTEM FREEFORM Popits with one colour acrylic. The mix ratio should be little wetter than you would normally use allowing you to work quicker. For best results use one bead only. Press the product into place. make sure you take the product all the way up the side walls however do not over fill popits 7. Place the DUEL SYSTEM FREEFORM Popits at the Eponychium as tightly as you can while holding at a 45 degree angle to the nail. For best results slide the Popits under the Eponychium very gently. 8. Slowly lower the DUEL SYSTEM FREEFORM Popits on the prepared nail and hold with gentle and even pressure with the thumb over the nail bed for 15-30 sec. How long would depend on the temperature and mix ratio. Set up times can also vary from product to product. It's best to use one medium to fast setting enabling you to complete a full set even faster. 9. Turn the hand over and remove any excess product that has oozed out from the side walls or free edge. With a little practice you will know how much product to use. 10. When sculpting a set miss out step 2 and ensure the product is not to thin at the free edge. 11. Now repeat the above steps on the other fingers. 12. When all DUEL SYSTEM FREEFORM Popits have been applied go back to the first one and gently pinch the DUEL SYSTEM FREEFORM Popits off each nail. (You may hear a click sound when removing the Popits and this is perfectly normal. File or trim to the desired length and shape, leaving a completely buff free - smooth surface ready for polish. (Use a gentle abrasive to smooth all the edges if necessary) If you are not sure if your product is set or not use your brush handle to check - if you don't know how to do this please email me back for help. These moulds can be used for Pink and White Sculpting and Nail Art. When doing Pink and Whites mark on the top of the Popits where you would like to put the smile line. Apply the White to the DUEL SYSTEM FREEFORM Popits and repeat this procedure on two or three nails before going back to apply your pink or clear which should overlap the white to ensure proper adhesion at the free edge and nail bed. Apply to the natural nail. Any coloured acrylics or glitters may be used however I would do just a natural set to start with 2 or 3 times. That tedious task of doing your own nails just became a breeze....
