Questions salons ask
Which TAYE top coat should I use? M009 for a regular glossy finish, M012 when you want to draw on the nail with coloured pencil or watercolour, and DG004 when you need a thick, hard, no-wipe layer or raised designs.
What is the difference between DG012 and DG013? DG013 is a medium-thick sculpting gel that holds its shape. DG012 flows faster and, according to the brand, sets in a 2-second flash cure.
Is the rhinestone glue HEMA-free? The brand card marks it "3 free": no TPO, no HPMA and no HEMA.
