So, rather than use inaccurate and incorrect definitions that confuse, why not use a more professional term? Instead of “nail resin” or “glue”, it is better to use the word “adhesive” when you are referring to “adhering things together”, and the term “cyanoacrylate monomer” when these are used as a nail coating. Consider this as well: which of these would clients have greater respect for or be more impressed by? I think the answer is obvious. The results of using clear nail polish and resin were awful.

The better mixed, the better the polish is able to blend into and with the resin. Similarly, to the way it looks when you put it on your nails. Old polish doesn’t look near as nice as a brand-new bottle of polish or one that has been appropriately shaken/mixed. Regarding eyeshadows: less expensive products are made with a lower amount of base pigment so the quality of the color is reduced and has more “fluff” or “filler-like compounds” that cost less than 100% pigment, which reduces the color quality and because we really don’t know what the fillers are made of, they may cause a negative reaction when mixed with a foreign compound such as resin.

I came to the clinic with fungal nail infection in 2 toe nails. In the clinic I was first assessed and then received pact treatment on both nails. Although I had to travel some distance for appointments , it has been well worthwhile as it has been successful so far. Without exception all the staff are very friendly caring and helpful. After treating the infection at home topically with prescription medication for several years this had been both tedious and unsuccessful. I am delighted that my nails now look healthy. It has been a pleasure receiving treatment at the clinic and I have no hesitation in highly recommending the clinic to anyone. UK mainland only.
