: I love your wedsite. I just scanned it and got alots of information! I just want to check one thing with you...it seems really simple, but it is the first basic step. You do not have to "rough up the nail" first? I hate filing away clients nails...can't wait to hear...
Roughing up or 'etching' the nail plate was something we did in the 70's! With today's acrylics, all one needs to do is remove the surface shine from the nail plate. This can be done with a 360-grit buffer. 'Etching' removes too many vital nail plate layers which are the foundation for the overlay.
