Well that was what my questions were all about with TT applications-
I did finally get a response back- I stated that I had been taught that repeated contact with the skin risks overexposure, and I asked her why it was ok to touch the surrounding skin with the liquid. I also told her that I had been taught also to never use less than a 240 grit on the natural nail to keep from damaging it, why was this 100 grit file ok?
She replied back to me that her liquid was safe, and was different. No specs, just the statement. SHe also said that if you didnt use the 100 grit file, you would have lifting and thinning of the natural nail, and also bacteria psuedonyms causing further damage.
She also said on her site that athletes foot can be caused by wearing shoes all the time, and that nails should be removed by soaking in acetone every 3-6 months.
I was understandably confused, as this contradicts everything I have been taught, so I asked DOUG SCHOON what his thoughts were on the information that was presented to me. I am waiting to hear back.
Just an FYI to those that havent had the same CND training I have-
I have been taught to NEVER touch the skin with uncured product- that goes for liquid, wet powder, etc.
I have been taught to never use anything rougher than a 240 grit file on the natural nail, and to use single strokes in one direction to remove the shine. Thats it. No back and forth movements. I have never had to use less than a 180 on an enhancement, and that was only in certain instances. In general, my application is smooth enough to use the same 240 grit to refine sidewalls and freeedge, and buff with a girlfriend or smoothie.
I have never had a problem with lifting, have NEVER had a client contract a "greenie," and have never, since training with CND, touched skin with uncured product. I have not had to replace sets, as its been unneccesary-they always look brand new, no fill lines, no free edge seperation.
I was taught that the main ingredient on our monomer is EMA, and that its in ALL monomers, and that it is not to be touched by skin!
Athletes foot is a skin disease caused by a fungus, usually occuring between the toes. You usually get this from exposure of your bare feet by someone else in bare feet that has the affliction, IE: showers, pools, locker rooms.
The American Podiatric Medical Association says that the best prevention is by using good hygiene: daily washing your feet in soap and water, carefully drying between the toes; avoid walking barefoot; wear light and airy shoes; wear socks that keep your feet dry.

I'll let you geeks know what Doug says when I hear back- Any TT users have any comments to help us out here?
